Dell PowerStore Likes & Dislikes

Like

PowerStore handles the block storage for our VDI environment 520 Dell terminals hitting it all at once during peak times. The NVMe performance is what really sets it apart: latency stayed low even during exams when everyone was active. Deduplication and compression have been better than our old setup, which is a big deal for a public university with a set budget. Having it next to PowerScale in the same Dell stack made support easier one vendor, one call when we have questions.
