Dell Technologies announces launch of PowerStore Elite storage platform

Dell Technologies (DELL) introduces “a new generation of storage, compute, cyber resilience and automation innovations built to power the modern data center,” the company announced. “Dell PowerStore Elite is an intelligent, open storage platform that combines AI-driven software, next generation hardware and non-disruptive modernization. The platform triples performance and density compared to prior generations, packs up to 5.8 petabytes of effective capacity into a single 3U appliance and is backed by an industry-best 6:1 data reduction guarantee. Built on industry-standard E3 flash, PowerStore Elite reduces cost per workload while keeping every component, including drives, controllers and networking, modular and field-upgradable, so organizations can evolve their infrastructure without downtime or data migration. The 18th generation of Dell PowerEdge servers deliver up to 70% better performance and 13-to-1 consolidation through advanced air-and liquid-cooling designs. Organizations gain dramatically more compute in the same footprint with unified management and security built in,” the company stated. Dell PowerStore Elite will be available in July. Dell PowerEdge M9825, Dell PowerEdge R9825 and Dell PowerEdge R9815 servers will be available in the second half of 2026, Dell noted.
