Scaling up, down, left, right, sideways is easy and efficient with Dell EMC ScaleIO™. Flexible deployment handles whatever you have, from multiple servers, configs, and OS, to media types, with the option to go hyper—converged. You can add, subtract, or move resources on the fly. Downtime? Zero. You get enterprise features including multi—tenant capabilities, QoS, snapshots, and thin provisioning. Two copy mesh mirroring means no single point of failure, and total data protection and resiliency. Workloads are evenly shared with parallel I/O architecture.

Service Level Agreements For Performance And Availability

Another key driver for IT leaders is to meet Service Level Agreements (SLAs) for performance and availability that they have set for the organization—something that traditional data storage infrastructure is increasingly struggling to achieve. Public cloud can also fail to meet many enterprise SLAs for performance, security and availability—which is why many organizations are creating their own private or hybrid cloud infrastructure. Now is the IT world you are living in today. The costs to manage and run your business are skyrocketing. You need to quickly and seamlessly respond to rapid change and uncertainty, and a traditional, siloed infrastructure defined by Servers, Network and Storage (SAN) has inherent issues that compound the challenges you face. Living in .Now leads to inefficient capacity planning, higher costs and longer time to market. ScaleIO™ enables customers to transform their SAN—based IT infrastructure to a next—generation, software defined Server SAN to solve the problems associated with their current environment. ScaleIO™ can provide the performance, elasticity and enterprise grade capabilities required for SAP™, Oracle™ and Microsoft™ applications.

Top Use Cases For ScaleIO Server SAN

From next—generation databases to IaaS to traditional enterprise applications, Dell EMC ScaleIO™ can provide the scalability, performance, flexibility and elasticity required by these various workloads. Customers are looking for ways to move to a hyper—converged architecture to optimize TCO, reduce complexity and transform their data center to support traditional and next—generation applications. Dell EMC ScaleIO™ is the only product on the market that gives organizations the ability to move to software defined SAN (SAN.Next) and hyper—converged infrastructure (Infrastructure.Next) with a single software solution. You can choose software—defined SAN to start and then move to hyper—converged, or go all in on hyper—converged from the start.Infrastructure. Infrastructure—as—a—Service—ScaleIO™ enables service providers and enterprises to build public and/or private clouds. ScaleIO™’s scalability, flexibility and pay—as—you—grow licensing model enables customers to expand at their own pace. ScaleIO™ can be deployed as a hyper—converged solution where customers can run applications, storage and compute in a single layer.

Dell EMC ScaleIO™ is designed and optimized to transform your server and storage performance and address your critical needs. You get countless advantages. From the ability to manage bandwidth consumption and eliminate application “hogging”, to innovative data backups with unique write able snapshots, and much more. Software defined block storage—or server SAN—is an important next—generation data center storage model that organizations need to understand in order to meet today’s challenges—and be ready for new opportunities. Data growth is one of the biggest challenges facing enterprise IT today. Analysts IDC say the digital universe of data is now doubling every two years, to reach a projected 44 zettabytes (44 trillion gigabytes) by the year 2020. Data is being created in massive quantities from a range of sources, including the web, social media, mobile devices, and the billions of connected smart machines that constitute the ‘Internet of Things’. Next—generation applications—Dell EMC ScaleIO™ is optimized to run next—generation applications powered by NoSQL™, MongoDB™ and Cassandra™, as well as analytics platforms like Splunk™.
