I/O and throughput intensive workloads by aggregating resources across a broad
set of nodes. Just a few Power Flex nodes can deliver millions of IOPs at sub
millisecond latency with real life workloads. Further, flexibility to combine
storage media with varying performance profiles, coupled with simple
sophisticated workload isolation capabilities ensure guaranteed performance
SLAs without complications under any load conditions. For analytics and high-
performance VDI workloads, Power Flex offers a broad choice of supported GPU
configurations. The platform is designed to scale linearly to 1000s of nodes,
scaling performance, capacity, and compute resources linearly, modularly, and
non-disruptively. The self-healing architecture delivers non-stop operations.
The architecture delivers 99.999% availability, eliminating planned and
unplanned downtime for maintenance and upgrades. Lastly, Power Flex offers
enterprise data services that include encryption, replication, snapshots, and
data reduction. With support for VMware SRM, PowerFlex enables simple,
effective disaster recovery and business continuity.
