Scalable Cloud Block Storage Solutions

PowerFlex in the public cloud adapts to workload demand, scales independent of compute, and ensures consistent I/O performance under growth.

  • Elastic scaling: Expand storage without downtime
  • High throughput & low latency: Ideal for databases or analytics
  • Resilience across zones: Protects across availability zones
  • Automated healing: Self-repair of failed nodes

Seamless Data Mobility & Integration

Move data from on-premises to the public cloud or between regions with minimal disruption and unified management.

  • Non-disruptive migration: Live data mobility
  • Hybrid cloud consistency: Single pane of glass
  • APEX block storage support: Use PowerFlex on AWS/Azure
  • Unified automation: Use REST, Ansible, CSI, APIs

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What is Dell PowerFlex public cloud?

It’s Dell’s software-defined block storage solution designed to run in public cloud environments, offering enterprise storage features while leveraging cloud infrastructure.

Unlike native EBS, PowerFlex adds advanced services (snapshots, compression, replication) and more consistent performance, while still using EBS as the underlying medium.

Yes PowerFlex supports non-disruptive migration, data mobility, and hybrid cloud architectures, enabling smooth transitions.

Yes it offers CSI drivers, REST APIs, and Ansible support for integration into modern DevOps pipelines.

By using thin provisioning, compression (where supported), and avoiding over-provisioning, you pay only for what is used, leading to cost savings.
