PowerStore's native metro synchronous replication provides active/active operations with zero downtime, eliminating the risk of data loss due to outages or disasters. It's like having a mirror of your production data in two different data centers.


In addition, the automation and intelligence of the native metro has now been enhanced with a third site witness that acts as an impartial entity, autonomously verifying the status of the sites and using its intelligence to trigger an automatic failover to the surviving array in the event of a failure.

In the event of a failure, the site supported by the surviving PowerStore communicates how to get turkey number for whatsapp with the witness to determine where to resume I/O, ensuring data remains consistent and available even in the face of network outages or site failures—all without any manual intervention. This additional layer of intelligence delivers key benefits, including:

Enhanced protection. Eliminates the risk of data inconsistencies due to network interruptions.
Flexible deployment. Allows bare-metal installation or as a Linux virtual machine on a third site or in a cloud location.
Ease of use. Sign up in minutes, no additional software or licenses required.


NVMe/TCP for vVols: Increased VMware Performance

PowerStore’s tight integration with VMware already makes it easy to monitor, manage, and protect your VMware environment. Now, performance is maximized with the industry’s first NVMe/TCP support for vVols — a transformative advancement in storage efficiency.

NVMe/TCP for vVols combines the ultra-fast performance of NVMe and the optimized provisioning and management of vVols to deliver the ultimate in cutting-edge storage. Plus, this feature works with most modern Ethernet switches [ii] without any additional purchase required.

Unmatched speed. NVMe/TCP for vVols delivers up to 50% faster performance [iii] than standard iSCSI.
Simplified Management. Efficient management of storage resources at the virtual machine level using vVols.
Cost-effective transition. Combining the power of NVMe/TCP with vVols using compatible Ethernet switches.
Data-in-Place Upgrades: Modernize without Disruption

Managing storage platform upgrades can be a daunting task, often requiring data migrations and downtime. PowerStore is designed with a modern storage experience in mind, making it easier for businesses to adapt. Version 3.6 enables Data-in-Place upgrades for first-generation appliances.

Controllers can also be upgraded without disrupting critical operations. This eliminates complex scheduling and data transfers, freeing up IT time for other strategic priorities. It also increases performance for growing workloads without having to repurchase capacity and ensures that IT will always be up and running with the latest technology.

Next-generation performance. Modernized hardware and improved performance of up to 58% [iv] to support increasing workloads.
Non-disruptive transition. Continuity of operations with the same storage backend, meaning no need to repurchase capacity.
Future Proof Program for PowerStore. Purchase the Anytime Upgrade Guarantee to enjoy a storage refresh experience at any time during your PowerStore maintenance cycle.

The release of PowerStoreOS 3.6 is accompanie
