PowerStore vs. HCI: 3.1x better data reduction, 21% lower costs

Download

Modern organizations face storage challenges with data growth and private cloud adoption. Traditional hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI) can lead to vendor lock-in, unnecessary compute purchases, and higher costs.

This white paper explores how Dell PowerStore's disaggregated infrastructure addresses these issues with independent scaling and data reduction. Key findings:

· Dell PowerStore achieved up to 3.1 times better data reduction than HCI
· Dell PowerStore offered 21.9% lower five-year costs than HCI for similar capacity
· Integration with VMware tools via VSI plugins simplifies management
