REDWOOD
CITY, Calif., May 16, 2024
/PRNewswire/ -- Equinix, Inc. (Nasdaq: EQIX), the world's
digital infrastructure company®, announced
today the availability of Dell PowerStore on Equinix
Metal®, a new, enterprise-grade Storage as a Service
(STaaS) solution. Dell PowerStore on Equinix Metal with flexible
configurations can help enterprises manage a wide range of
high-performance multicloud workloads through low-latency
connectivity with proximity to major public clouds.
Businesses are increasingly seeking flexible storage solutions
that accelerate data collection and distribution, thus offering
faster time to value, according to Enterprise Strategy Group
(ESG).1 Dell PowerStore on Equinix Metal
delivers scalable and flexible storage—with the option to
burst by 25% above committed capacity—to meet market demands and
reduce total cost of ownership (TCO) while effectively optimizing
resources, accelerating agility and driving innovation.
The Dell PowerStore on Equinix Metal service offering allows
enterprises to view, manage and globally deploy storage, compute
and networking, achieving simplified infrastructure management and
reduced operational overhead. The comprehensive single-tenant
storage solution is designed for cloud adjacent environments: with
more private cloud on-ramps inside Equinix International Business
Exchange™ (IBX®) data centers than anywhere else in the
world, customers benefit from fast, secure and scalable access
to public cloud providers.
"Businesses need storage solutions that allow them to be more
agile and get the most out of their hybrid multicloud
architectures," said Merrie
Williamson, Chief Customer and Revenue Officer at Equinix.
"By combining the powerful capabilities of Dell PowerStore with
Equinix's global platform, we are giving them the low-latency,
high-performance connectivity they require without sacrificing on
security or breaking their budget."
Key benefits of Dell PowerStore on Equinix Metal include:
- Integrated and Cloud Adjacent: Leverage a cloud adjacent
approach, choose a combination of Dell Technologies deployment
options and position storage and compute resources close to public
cloud services. Maintain control in a low-latency, high-performance
environment that offers seamless integration and private
connectivity.
- Financial Flexibility: The solution is delivered as a
service (aaS), with the ability to burst above committed levels,
providing the opportunity for significant cost saving compared to
purchasing storage hardware and software upfront.
- Globally Available: The service is available in more
than 30 Equinix Metal markets including Brazil, with a storage entry point of 25
tebibytes.
- Simplified Global Deployments: Deploy easily and in more
locations with hardware and software jointly operated by Dell and
Equinix.
- Security and Compliance: Single-tenant appliances with
always-on, enterprise-grade, multi-layer data encryption ensure the
highest level of data protection. Designed to meet industry
compliance standards, regulatory requirements are addressed with
ease.
- Persistent Data: Data persists across Metal server
restarts, enabling a range of use cases—from mission-critical
transactions to disaster recovery.
- Performance and Control: Achieve sub-millisecond latency
with colocated compute from Equinix Metal and storage from Dell
PowerStore. This combination delivers higher performance while
maintaining end-to-end control over your data.
The Dell Partner First Strategy for Storage provides
predictability and opportunities for partners to work together to
deliver solutions for customers, including Dell PowerStore on
Equinix Metal. This STaaS solution, available via channel partners
later this year, expands the portfolio of options for Dell
partners.
