Our use case for Dell PowerStore involves a cluster with VMware, where we have all open systems, Windows and Linux, with all that data residing in Dell PowerStore. We have SQL data, many databases, and other types of data.

This is a medium-scale solution, and in our country, we use Dell PowerStore for medium-scale data center solutions. 

We have done two replication solutions where we use the Dell PowerStore capability to replicate between them. These are the case scenarios we do for basic consolidation VMware. 

In Telco companies where we use Dell PowerStore, the IOPS we obtain in certain consolidations is very high. We used to use Unity and could get approximately 100k thousand IOPS in a typical consolidation with four hosts and one data in one storage. With Dell PowerStore, we're getting close to 200,000 IOPS, which has doubled our performance.

The primary use case for Dell PowerStore was for our disaster recovery site at our secondary data center. 

The equipment there was already eight years old and we really needed to replace it. We couldn't get finance to back us with a big deployment and substantial funding. So we determined that we needed something that could run our critical tasks if our main data center goes offline. 

While it's running particular tasks of secondary importance at that data center, it can also take the load of the critical systems that we're doing on daily backups and weekends' full backups.

We are using Dell PowerStore for different kinds of workloads. They use Dell PowerStore for mission-critical or high-performance purposes. 

We have customers all across the globe and in different verticals, including manufacturing, healthcare, and finance. HCL Tech provides Dell PowerStore, and we also create a service model for end customers similar to storage as a service that Dell offers. There is a big contract between HCL Tech and Dell Technologies through which we use these Dell PowerStore devices and create storage as a service to support our end customers across the globe.

Our team is validating Dell PowerStore for some Gen AI use cases, but we are still working on that as it's not finalized.

We mainly work with 3000 and 5000 models. We don't work much with the entry level models.

Dell PowerStore has many use cases, such as in banking and virtualization, especially database projects. 

Regarding use cases, since it's flash storage, it's NVMe class flash storage, so it covers most of the cases in the industry. You can use it in mid to enterprise-class banking sectors; some customers are even using it in core banking, virtualization, and these kinds of workloads. Some other use cases are also being implemented since this is very common storage.

Dell PowerStore is mainly used as a core storage platform for scale-out and file storage with NVMe storage. 

Our specific use cases for Dell PowerStore at my company include all of our VMware virtualization, six clusters of five or six hosts each, Oracle clustered databases, and SAP hosts, totaling about 60 physical hosts hooked up to each unit, with performance being very good, and we are very happy. 

Currently, I do not have any AI use cases for Dell PowerStore yet. We might plan to implement AI use cases for Dell PowerStore, as I've been learning about it, and would say that most likely in the next six months, we're going to do a pilot using Dell PowerStore with some other hardware as well.

Dell PowerStore is used in my company for storage for virtual machines and backups, and we are growing into working on doing stuff with large language models and AI. At the moment, we do not use Dell PowerStore for AI, but we're expanding into that business case. 

The business case for us when we actually do expand with Dell PowerStore involves real-time analysis of phone calls, providing solutions to our customer base when they connect in with problems related to X, Y, and Z. Here are some solutions you can try to reporting code review, and all the things.

The use case for purchasing is that I am doing a hyper-converged infrastructure on Hyper-V. My main goal has been to really have redundancy and reliability in the system based on our production schedule. We cannot afford to have much downtime. Therefore, I needed a setup. We purchased Dell PowerStore at the same time. I needed a setup that would give me the reliability to run my operations pretty much all the time.

My customers usually use Dell PowerStore for their infrastructure workloads and for their business needs.

Customers mainly use it for infrastructure workloads.

Improving operational efficiency is one of the default use cases, and it is paramount.

In my role, I am both the storage engineer and administrator and architect managing Dell PowerStore. Currently, we have two 3200T models and one 3000T model, which is a Gen 1, all running Dell PowerStore version 4.0 OS. 

We use Dell PowerStore almost exclusively for high-performance workloads, mostly Oracle, Microsoft SQL, and MySQL databases.

We use Dell PowerStore for our manufacturing or MES system and data warehousing.

My use cases for Dell PowerStore typically involve consolidating older storage and bringing the future of storage to our customers. Because we are a Dell partner, I sell a lot of Dell PowerStore storage, especially to modernize their infrastructure and consolidate workloads on a modern infrastructure based on Kubernetes. Dell PowerStore fits perfectly in the modern IT landscape, especially with AI. 

We talk about AI, and Dell PowerStore fits perfectly for our customers, enabling a variety of user workflows and customer workflows. For manufacturing, Dell PowerStore is perfect because it empowers and speeds up their jobs, providing future-ready storage. 

One of our customers uses Dell PowerStore for AI, which is currently still in study, aiming to develop an autonomous agent to capture payment. This system will implement a responsive AI agent based for each store, which needs to react quickly, and Dell PowerStore provides the low latency needed for such use cases, supporting not just one shop station but potentially thousands, handling large amounts of data and logs.

My use case for Dell PowerStore is for database information and database protection.

My position is a solution consultant, so I promote Dell PowerStore products or recommend the products to customers. 

Most applications or workloads can fit within Dell PowerStore, except for file serving or surveillance solutions, which require less extensive storage. 

We mostly use Dell PowerStore to replace people's outdated technology. Most of the time, if it is Compellent, we use it for that. It easily outpaces Nimble, even though HPE changed its name.

We are using PowerStore 500T and PowerStore 1200T. We have multiple appliances. We have clients that have five and six now, but they are not clustering them.

We were end-of-life on our current Unity 480S all-flash arrays and needed to upgrade to a newer array, and we didn't want to have to pay the extortionate costs for renewing our support for Unity.

Our use case for Dell PowerStore is virtualization.

We use Dell PowerStore for all of our file storage and our local storage in general. We have all of our VMs running on it, data backups, and file storage is a big thing for us, with everything else in the cloud.

I use it in the financial sector for banking, specifically for core banking applications, to serve our applications. We served different types of customers, ranging from oil and gas to the financial sector, education, and healthcare. We deployed Dell PowerStore in different industry segments, such as manufacturing and retail, for example.

We have a large Citrix environment and a large VMware environment, virtualized server infrastructure, and we use Dell PowerStore for our medical organization, so our imaging for x-rays and all those are stored on there, along with some backups. 

My use case for Dell PowerStore is virtualization and primary data storage.

My overall use case for Dell PowerStore is amazing, and the most valuable feature is yet to be determined.

Dell PowerStore was attached to an SQL Database that needed to have high performance, and since the application was not very well written, the only solution was to put it on flash storage. In my company, we felt that Dell PowerStore stood out for us as a high-performance storage device in the market.

We are resellers and Dell partners, so we install Dell PowerStore for our customers.

The main use cases for Dell PowerStore involve using it for applications that are compute and storage-sensitive. It is mainly the monitoring system that has a heavy load. Other than that, there are some critical internal applications that cannot have any time drift. 

One of the specific challenges we are trying to address is migrating from our existing infrastructure. The power consumption isn't entirely dependent on Dell PowerStore, but when it comes to heavy applications, the power consumption goes high. We have a Dell PowerStore at three or four sites right now. We are trying to see if we can roll it out to another three to five sites. 

We have about five Dell PowerStore appliances, and we are using the 500T model.

We use Dell PowerStore for storage management. We are using the 500T model. We have a standalone box and are not currently clustering multiple appliances.

The use case for companies to buy Dell PowerStore is that it's an all-flash storage, which is needed to save their data or applications that demand faster responses. They brought it because the read and write operations of Dell PowerStore are extremely high, and the IOPS are very good compared to the other Hitachi level storage.

Some of the main use cases for Dell PowerStore include storing typical user data and virtual machines.

Our use case specifically for Dell PowerStore is for our e-commerce and data saving purposes. For our partners, we are helping to build Dell PowerStore solutions because it's very easy to reduce the size of the data. It's possible to reduce the size of data five to one compared to other competitors, which is a huge advantage. It saves space in the rack and provides other benefits.

I use the solution for storage, databases, and visualization. It serves as a storage option for our server.

Our company's use case for these products includes SAN storage, virtual machines, and VM storage, particularly with Dell PowerStore, which we have been using for approximately four years now. 

Some of the primary use cases that we deploy Dell PowerStore for is for fairly normal infrastructure things. We have one offer at the moment where we have a customer considering a replacement of Oracle database appliances with Dell PowerEdge servers and Dell PowerStore. 

It's for a utility company which requires strict governance standards. Furthermore, they are implementing Cyber Vault, which complements their end-to-end Dell infrastructure.

We use the Dell PowerStore 1000, 5000, 5200, 7000, and 9200 models in our environment. We have a ten-petabyte environment and we use it for structuring storage for our SQL data basis, our search engine, and backend storage for our Kubernetes environment.

I am primarily using the solution in mostly virtualized environments. This includes databases and a diverse mix of virtualization.

Dell PowerStore is our Tier 2 storage used for general-purpose servers and applications.

We primarily use Dell PowerStore as part of our VMware infrastructure and other Dell servers.

We use Dell PowerStore for our SAN appliances. It holds and runs pretty much all of our infrastructure. All our network devices connect to it, and then that runs block-based storage for all our VMs.

For customers who are looking for a unified solution where they want a mixture of block and file systems, Dell PowerStore would be the right fit. Customers can have an array based on flash and also on spinning disk, depending on what kind of workloads they want to run. For example, if they want to do video surveillance systems, we can propose the Dell PowerStore that has only spinning disk, which they can capitalize on capacity because of the video images and related content.

We have a lot of distribution centers, and we are looking at infrastructure that gives us that low latency and helps us with the IoT and edge computing, like, robotic arms and things like that.

We implemented Dell PowerStore to address security and latency in our infrastructure.

Dell PowerStore is useful in the area of virtualization and block storage.

We use Dell PowerStore for enterprise servers and backup servers.

Our organization is resistant to migrating to the Cloud and Dell PowerStore can hopefully help us change that way of thinking.

Most of our deployment is on-premise but we have some hybrid models using AWS and Azure.  

We usually use Dell PowerStore in enterprise environments like banks and financial insurance companies that use it for their core banking.  

We use Dell PowerStore for our local operations and as a backup service that we provide. We use it for some VMware, but it's primarily for backups. 

We use private cloud solutions. We have 80-plus setups, and PowerStore is in all of our smaller sites for databases, backups, and VM instances.

We implemented PowerStore for its reliability. We know what we get with it and have specific requirements for uptime.

My use case for Dell PowerStore is to have a faster storage platform.

We have a lot of Dell systems and backup repositories. We are now migrating to Dell PowerStore.

We are implementing Dell PowerStore to migrate from older systems and improve performance and security.

We use Dell PowerStore for developing applications.

I have implemented Dell PowerStore primarily for use cases involving straight-up service in virtualization, which includes fewer VDIs and more generic services.

We have implemented Dell PowerStore for small sites needing mirrored storage. To ensure high availability, the storage is set up in two different locations, possibly in the same building but far apart.

For example, when you have a large warehouse that could have almost 800 meters between the server rooms, we put one in one server room and one in the other. If something happens to the one on one side of the building, you still have the other one.

We mainly use the solution for virtual server infrastructure and block storage (not file storage use).

We use Dell PowerStore with the VMware platform for block storage.

Our customers implement Dell PowerStore for the performance and deduplication compression ratio. For all the PowerStores that Dell deployed, I am around three dot eight or three dot six compression. It depends on the VMs and the customer's infrastructure, but it's quite good.

Our deployments are always on-premises for organizations in multiple industries, including medical and production. The environments are small, with around 20 terabytes of data or less.

I use the solution in my company as block storage.

We have customers in the United States Army across the continental U.S. and overseas. All the data centers in the army are heavily powered by Dell.

We deploy PowerStore based on our customer's requirements. Some are on-prem, others in the Cloud, and some use a hybrid model.

I use the solution in my company for the storage of the data in our centralized IT infrastructure.

There is a lot of deduplication and compression involved, virtualization projects, and some databases where we get better compression and deduplication.

We sell Dell PowerStore to multiple organizations in our country including lawyer firms and integration companies.

Some of our deployments are on-premises and others are hybrid. We offer our private cloud to customers and some use AWS.

We are a Dell partner and have been installing PowerStores since the beginning of their release. Austria is a small market so we usually deploy PowerStore 1200 and for smaller installations, we deploy PowerStore 500. We have a few customers that use PowerStore 3200.

The primary use case for PowerStore is typical block storage for VMware environments and for SQL and Microsoft bare metal systems.

Our primary use case is for block storage for VMware. 

We expedite the process for our clients. We use it for database processes.

It's a great product. Integrating PowerStore with the IT workflow is easy. 

Most of our solution's use cases include VMware. There are migrations from several different platforms and servers using virtual environments.

We use Dell PowerStore in all corporate infrastructures. It is being used in the two data centers that we have here in Madrid. We have it deployed on all our systems.

By implementing Dell PowerStore, we mainly wanted to cover all the needs for our ERP and our entire corporate system.

In our company, we use Dell PowerStore for IBM SAN Volume Controller. Dell PowerStore is useful for areas like storage, database, and VMware.

I use Dell PowerStore in my company primarily for virtualization through ESXi. Dell PowerStore serves as a primary system for all the storage needs within our organization.

I use it to solve a problem for a customer when he has a big VMware ESX environment with virtualization. You can solve a big problem with money or a lot of hardware since you can take the virtualization from PowerStore. Inside PowerStore, on the operating system level, you can use virtualization with VMware ESX or something like it. So, you don't need any hardware.

My company does backups and security. We use a lot of OEMs. We use Dell because they have the strongest product, especially in Israel.

Hybrid environments are very important for our disaster recovery issues. By default, we have 50% to the public cloud, with either Azure or AWS, and 50% on-prem. If it is on-prem, then it is a PowerStore. In Israel, 90% is deployed on-premises.

PowerStore is used in Israeli universities since they have big environments with a lot of vendors. They take all the versions from the 500 to the 3000. It is also used in IT companies with 1,000 or 2,000 employees that have a lot of traffic with heavy loads. There are a lot of people in Israel who love to work with Dell.

We use Dell PowerStore for virtualization.

Our customers implement PowerStore for its performance and the possibility to utilize AI in the future.

We're using the solution for a specific application called Boomi for data analytics.

We use Dell PowerStore as a storage layer behind the virtualization layer. We have IBM SCC and we have the PowerStore behind that to serve the discs to the SCC and the SCC then presents it to the hosts in the network.

It's a good product, especially for companies dealing with virtualization. It's well-suited for a broad range of use cases and stands out when it comes to tasks like personalization. If you require power and flexibility in that regard, it's a reasonably priced, straightforward product that is easy to manage. It delivers on its promises without unnecessary complexity.

We have used Dell PowerStore for service and storage needs, emphasizing products like VxRail, PowerStore, and our series rack mount servers.

Typically, the customer uses it and we manage it. We primarily use it to host the sub server.

We are especially active in the mid-market and use Dell PowerStore for block storage situations and general-purpose storage platforms.

We were using Dell PowerStore as a block device for VMware infrastructure and in iSCSI Target for a couple of secret server clusters installed at a hardware level. Apart from that, regarding the workload, which is currently more or less 40% for SQL Servers and 60% for the production of VMware machines. We have a small workload on VMware machines to manage a typical number crunching machine and application server. Now, we have six machines running a couple of MongoDB servers. Honestly, our bottleneck is not the PowerStore. Our actual bottleneck is the networking size because we noticed how we got some barriers in LACP algorithms, indicating we have two mixes on every motherboard> However, we are not able to fulfill the double connection. We also have a part of our experience infrastructure, but instead of 25 gigabit, it functions on 10 gigabit. Sometimes, during evenings or on Fridays, we use Rubrik for protection when we run it. When Rubrik works against Dell PowerStore and MongoDB, along with SQL Server, we noticed that PowerStore's QLC is normal while its CPU and compression levels are good. But, we do face a delay in CAPA and the server. So definitely, we noticed that maybe we need to upgrade everything to 25 gigabit, and still, if it doesn't work, then we may consider FortiGate's networking. Dell Compellent was our storage before, and now we are pushing the Ethernet to the maximum with PowerStore.

We're evaluating the product. We're evaluating various storage platforms. We're looking for ACI, block, and file storage. 

Dell PowerStore is the main storage product we use for our customers. When we sell storage products, Dell PowerStore is always the first one we propose.

We primarily use the solution for storage.

We use the PowerStore for our development environment. The frame is a repository for all our VMware infrastructure data stores and the applications that live on those data stores are mainly real-time voice applications in call centers.

We use it with Cisco switches and it's pure block only.

We have mainly used it to migrate all the infrastructure we had from a data center to a PowerStore cabin. The truth is that with the good duplication rate that it has, we have been able to migrate everything to a single cabin.

We had a large number of servers, some in particular with a SAP solution that needed a lot of data. What we ultimately wanted was to unify all these solutions into a single storage.

I use Dell PowerStore in my organization mainly for our server environment, so all of our virtual servers run on it. I also use Dell PowerStore in my organization to clone our environment to a test environment and some storage devices. The aforementioned details explain the main reason why our organization prefers Dell PowerStore.

We primarily use the solution for storage and data reduction. 

I use Dell PowerStore in my company as a storage system.

We are in the process of replacing our current SANs, FTP servers, and NAS servers, and have already implemented the new SAN solution.

We are using and providing storage. This is all-flash storage. 

We typically use Dell PowerStore 500T and 1000T models.

We sell and integrate Dell PowerStores to our customers who use it for block storage.

Dell PowerStore is used in the BFS industry.

We use this solution for storage. I'm an enterprise architect. 

Our company partners with the solution to offer customers storage as a service. We currently use the solution internally for our data center and to conduct tests or demos. 

We have not yet used the solution for customers because product lead time is slow and long. 

We use the very first one we added for a very pinpointed solution for a high-performance Oracle database. We've added four more, and they're going to be used primarily to migrate away from HP systems.

Our environment is 80% to 90% virtualized VMware. We have some pretty heavy workloads, whether it be SQL databases or Oracle databases working on the PowerStores right now. It's about three petabytes in size.

We have two appliances — a primary and a secondary — and they are synchronized, so all the volumes are replicated. If the primary appliance goes down, we can get functions on the other side. When it's writing on one side, writing is disabled on the other side. In the event of disaster recovery, we can enable writing, and then we can do anything from there.

We primarily use the solution as a POC. We have Extreme IOs that we're looking to replace, and this was brought in as a potential replacement for them.

We are using Dell PowerStore primarily for SAP applications as block storage, for replication across different locations.

We're addressing performance issues in our data center as well as the data duplication features to make sure we can be efficient in how we're storing data.

We use it for machines from VMware vCenter which we keep separate from the PowerStore. It is only the storage. They are connected with iSCSI and NFS. We have no virtual machines directly on the PowerStore.

We use the solution for visualization and protection of the environment.

Dell PowerStore is primarily used for high-performance applications, such as databases, but it is also suitable for virtualization and other applications.

We use it to host all the VMware workloads in production. It has all the types of workloads that any data center would have, from AD to file servers as well as SQL, Exchange, and BI. It holds all our high-tier VMs.

Our clients mainly use it for additional workloads in databases and EDI.

We utilize Dell PowerStore for VMware and to establish an OpenShift environment for deploying applications on the customer's end.

Most of our PowerStore units are used for VMware VMs and vSphere. We migrated the VMs from our Unity storage.

We have two sites; the data center site (DC) and the disaster recovery (DR) site. We only use the PowerStore on the DC site. The project was put on hold due to COVID but we plan to continue with it this year.

We are a reseller, and we use them to demonstrate to our customers the PowerStore interface as well as to power our own lab demos, running vCenter, NSX, and other software utilities.

PowerStore is joined to four application servers in a cluster. We're running an application that we use to monitor our activity in the financial markets. We collect all the data from the market—books, trades, orders—that we send to the market. In terms of volume, we are collecting about 100 million rows a day for the books, 10 million a day for the orders, and about 500 rows for public trades.

It is a mission-critical application because of compliance and the regulators. We have to maintain this kind of monitoring because it's a direct link to our activity in the regulated market.

The use case for this solution is based on VMware and that is why we chose PowerStore X. During the first period of the pandemic, we decided to use our VMware infrastructure for HPC workloads. We were looking for high-performance storage that could be inserted inside our VMware environment in an easy way. PowerStore, which had just been announced, seemed like the right solution and so we decided to buy. We have this storage environment inside the virtual HPC.

In our environment we are doing medical analysis related to genomic workloads. The data are acquired remotely from experiments and stored on the PowerStore. The PowerStore is exposed to the user through virtual machines, and the data are analyzed in this environment.

I use the product for computers to connect servers with storage, integrating computations and actions performed on the servers with vCenter and a single console or storage console.

We use Dell PowerStore for VM storage.

Our primary use case for Dell PowerStore is for data protection and data transfer.

We are partners with Dell. 

We were in need of a new enterprise storage solution for our virtual machines. We use it for primary systems and processes, so for us it's very important.

We do a lot of cloning of databases for either troubleshooting or to stage and prepare implementation. We are a SaaS provider in the real estate industry and we're either using the PowerStore to help expedite things in our development environment, or we're using it to help troubleshoot any problems that we have.

We have north of 13 petabytes of storage in our environment.

We are using Dell PowerStore for block storage. We store all the virtualized environments, such as ERP, virtual machines, Oracle, and SAP-based Virtual Machines. We use storage for all our blocks.

Our primary use case for this solution is virtual machines and file server databases.

We use this solution for VM and some AI storage. It's mostly an internal use server. We use it for the lab, and customers can access it. We use iSCSI on it. 

I'm a systems engineer and we have a partnership with Dell. 

They use Dell PowerStore to build virtualization.

We use this solution for customers who are looking for NFS and SMB file shares with faster access, migrating from the existing Unity and VNX onto PowerStore. We use this solution for consolidation.
