We use PowerFlex for the storage abilities, specifically for the SAN, the storage area network. We save a lot of data on it.

I am the implementer on the user side.

For the server and other VDI, we fulfill whatever requirements they have.

All sectors are using Dell PowerFlex.

They are using Dell PowerFlex in both ways.

We have medium enterprise customers.

Our primary use case for Dell PowerFlex is to support mission-critical workloads that demand high availability, ultra-low latency and flexible scalability. This includes:

Virtualized Infrastructure (VMware, Red Hat Virtualization) for large-scale enterprise applications

High-performance Databases like Oracle, MS SQL and SAP HANA

Private Cloud Infrastructure with dynamic scalability and multi-tenancy

Modern Application Platforms (containers/Kubernetes) using PowerFlex’s CSI and plugin support

Disaster Recovery and Business Continuity using stretched clusters and automated failover.

In AI-specific use cases, PowerFlex is ideal for supporting AI video analytics, facial recognition and predictive modeling, especially when combined with GPU-accelerated compute nodes. Its ability to scale storage and compute independently ensures optimal performance and cost-efficiency as AI workloads evolve.

We started using ScaleIO followed by VxRail and finally PowerFlex. We use Dell PowerFlex as a hyperconverge for a specific workload. Our security solutions, including QRadar, are all on PowerFlex now.

Dell PowerFlex is used for on-prem cloud solutions. It's a hyper-converged infrastructure, which means you can integrate it directly into your core network. You get all the computing and storage you need without bothering much about the network connection between the servers because all that comes bundled in Dell PowerFlex. It's like a mini data center of its own, replacing the infrastructure they used to sell.

Dell has positioned it now to replace the VxBlock converged infrastructure. It basically gives its customers a mini data center. You have all the compute storage and network that you need. All you need to do is integrate it into your core network, and you can start provisioning. It comes bundled with either virtualization or containerization options, which I think they started in the latest version, version four.

You could have your normal VMware vSphere on top of it. If you request it, I think some of them could ship with Red Hat OpenShift. The customer can provision workloads for all manner of operations and even to their DevOps on the platform.

It is a Flex system that requires a good amount of infrastructure just to be up and running. But when it's up and running and you've configured it appropriately,  your downtime is next to none and the performance increases. Since the time we had switched to converge I've never seen anybody overrun the performance capabilities but previously I have seen and experienced substantial outages before. I've seen mistakes being made due to the complexity because it was very hard to understand. 

Our company's customer is the transportation government. We deliver the tool to the transportation government in our country. We deliver the solution with Dell PowerFlex, and we also deliver VxRail. Dell PowerFlex is more compact but more complicated than VxRail to configure. Many configurations in the tool regarding Dell PowerFlex are still confusing.

We are customers of Dell and I'm the general manager of our company. 

We use this solution to manage software-defined infrastructure and for rapid provisioning of computer storage.

The solution is a private cloud hyper-converged infrastructure that is scalable, with highly available computer workloads.

Dell PowerFlex is our primary private cloud. 

Most customers look for a multipurpose appliance to consolidate all the applications and simplify management. It helps reduce the footprint and the consumption of power.

We use the solution for mission-critical applications. We have government customers who work in hydrology and meteorology.

I'm an activity manager and work for a company that deals with electrical installations, assisting customers with strategy and IT investments. My job is to be well-acquainted with the various technologies and assist the customer in making the right choices. Options could include hyper-convergence, mass storage, cloud solutions, or big data solutions, those sorts of choices. It's really about explaining the different technologies and options available rather than using them. I'm not an integrator.

We use the solution for its storage features.

The solution is very simple, and not critical. We use it primarily for the Ministry of Electricity for implementing new smart meters in Egypt. It made it easier to handle the billing system.

We use VxFlex for our banking applications.

At the end of the day, VxFlex is for all applications. We normally do a sizing. Then we usually look at the sizing and design it according to its outcome. It's also about applications. You can see what application requirements are.

We primarily use three or four modules for the city running on a plant.

Our primary use case for this solution is hyper-converged.

We have a private cloud deployment.

Our primary use case of this solution is for storage nodes and compute nodes and I like that it is all in one box. It is very effective to use it for our infrastructure. 

I primarily use the solution for cloud applications and cloud services.
