New Dell EMC ScaleIO Ready Node Offers All-Flash Software-Defined Path to the Modern Data Center

News Highlights: New #Dell #EMC #ScaleIO Ready Node offers all-flash, software-defined server SAN to drive higher performance, deployment simplicity and operational ease. Combines the proven foundation of reliability & manageability delivered by PowerEdge Servers with massive performance & scalability of ScaleIO #SDS, together with a single point of support. Supports both traditional two-tier and hyper-converged application deployments in any combination in the same software defined storage service, enabling an easy path to the software-defined, hyper-converged data center. Easily achieves millions of IOPS for mission critical workloads by combining the power of All-Flash and SDS, according to an ESG report. Reduces the five year cost of operations by 50 percent, according to an IDC whitepaper. Simplifies the procurement, qualification and support processes by going with a single provider: Dell EMC. Full Story: Dell EMC today announced Dell EMC ScaleIO Ready Node, a software-defined, all-flash offering running on Dell EMC PowerEdge x86 servers, designed to help customers transform and modernize their data centers by utilizing Dell EMC ScaleIO. A key component of the Dell EMC Software-Defined Storage (SDS) portfolio, ScaleIO is scale-out, software-defined storage for block-based storage needs (commonly known as server SAN and considered an alternative to traditional SANs). ScaleIO Ready Node combines flexible configurations of PowerEdge servers with ScaleIO software with a Dell EMC validated, and fully supported SDS solution that makes it easy for customers to purchase, deploy, and run. ScaleIO Ready Node all-flash configurations scale out and overcome the limitations of previous all-flash storage on server solutions that only supported a single application and, thus, were suitable for a narrow range of use cases. The ScaleIO Ready Node has a scale-out and highly parallelized architecture, utilizing the power of all-flash to any and all workloads. The SSD drives within the ScaleIO Ready Node work in parallel to help eliminate performance bottlenecks. The ability to take advantage of the aggregate performance of the SSDs in a single node makes it possible for performance to scale linearly as nodes are added. For applications that require ultra-high performance, the all-flash configurations support critical enterprise applications, back-up?
