Unlock data capital with Dell EMC

IDC predicts that by 2025, more than 163 zettabytes of data will be created in that one year alone challenging companies to not only effectively manage data on this massive scale but leverage it through analytics to turn it into data capital. Managing data at this scale has strong implications for IT infrastructure. Requirements around performance, capacity expansion, availability, and automation are all essential. The new Dell EMC Unity XT Series meets these challenges today and innovation will continue to take customers to new heights in the future.

If you are looking for raw all flash power, great efficiency, and absolute simplicity in a small footprint, then Dell EMC Unity XT Hybrid Flash Storage is for you. Designed and optimized for virtualized workloads, these new and modern hardware platforms deliver more performance and a fraction of the latency than previous generations making them a perfect fit for running your business applications wherever they are located and getting ahead of your IT transformation.

Designed for performance and optimized for efficiency

Engineered from the ground-up to meet market demands hybrid storage performance, efficiency and lifecycle simplicity, Dell EMC Unity XT Hybrid Flash Arrays are NVMe-ready, implement a dual active architecture, contain dual socket Intel processors with up to 16- cores and more system memory. All these modern features enable Dell EMC Unity XT to deliver more performance and less latency compared to previous generations.

Dell EMC Unity XT Hybrid Arrays also include significant efficiency gains. These arrays reduce system overhead to provide 85% platform efficiency. When you turn on the inline data reduction features to combine with the platform efficiency, you’ll get up to 31% more effective capacity than many other midrange systems. Dell EMC Unity XT also includes an efficient self-service migration utility right from the GUI to seamlessly migrate file and block data from legacy Dell EMC products and select competitive systems.

Whether you are looking to start small or scale to hundreds of terabytes of usable capacity, these modern All-Flash systems have you covered.

Hybrid design

Dell EMC Unity XT Hybrid Storage Arrays start in a sleek 2U form factor with a modern architecture designed to take full advantage of flash technology deployed in a hybrid or allflash storage pool for the best performance with the economics of disk. The design includes linear multicore scaling, inline data reduction with zero detect for block and file with all-flash pools, zero impact drive firmware-based garbage collection, write coalescing minimizing IO, and intelligent wear leveling capabilities, and NAND TLC drives. The Dell EMC Unity XT Hybrid systems also come with FAST Cache for improving performance IO and FAST VP for auto-tiering efficiency. A high-density enclosure supports eighty flash drives in just three rack units, for even greater space efficiency.
