Latest All-flash Nodes

Drawing on its established reputation as a Magic Quadrant leader for eight consecutive years, the PowerScale F210 and F710 are launched with enhanced capabilities. The F210 is tailored for optimal performance with smaller capacity needs, while the F710 offers a blend of high performance and substantial capacity within a compact 1RU form factor which helps in meeting the evolving needs of customers in today’s data-centric landscape.

Improved Efficiency

Dell’s latest platform features a Smart Flow chassis designed to streamline airflow. This innovative design directs air precisely where it’s needed, improving energy efficiency across the system. This advancement in innovation has allowed Dell to deliver up to 90% greater performance per watt in just one year. Furthermore, the latest F710 node builds upon the capacity and density of previous generations, accommodating up to ten drives in a compact 1U configuration. This represents a 25% increase in node density compared to its predecessor, the F600.

“Collaborating with Dell means faster innovation for my business. The new Dell PowerScale F710 has exceeded our expectations with more than 25% performance improvements in our EDA workloads while delivering improved data centre sustainability,” said Alan Davidson, CIO of Broadcom.

The release of PowerScale OneFS software and platform enhancements marks a significant milestone in AI innovation. These advancements will allow Dell customers to take full advantage of high-speed storage and empower their most demanding file workloads, including AI and generative AI (GenAI).
