Dell's petabyte-scale Dell APEX File Storage powered by PowerScale (part number APEX-FS-PS-ENT) delivers a single global namespace spanning all cluster nodes and storage tiers, with inline compression and deduplication built into the OneFS distributed file system. Rack-mounted node families—F-Series for all-flash performance, H-Series for hybrid workloads, and B-Series for capacity and archive—scale horizontally as your data grows, eliminating storage bottlenecks for organizations managing massive file repositories. For storage architects and IT procurement teams, this fully managed on-premises as-a-service platform combines enterprise-grade resilience with transparent resource utilization.
Dell PowerScale OneFS underpins the entire architecture, offering NFS v3/v4, SMB 2.x/3.x, HDFS, and S3-compatible API support alongside automated policy-based tiering across NVMe/SSD, HDD, and archive tiers via SmartPools. Data protection includes synchronous and asynchronous replication (SyncIQ), snapshot-based recovery (SnapshotIQ), and N+M erasure coding to safeguard critical assets. High-availability features—non-disruptive node addition and removal, rolling software upgrades, and zero single points of failure—ensure uninterrupted access. Security controls encompass role-based access control (RBAC), Active Directory and LDAP integration, data-at-rest encryption, SMB signing, and SmartLock WORM compliance for SEC 17a-4, FINRA, HIPAA, and GDPR workflows. Network options span 25GbE and 100GbE Ethernet with InfiniBand backend support on select node families, while the cloud-based Dell APEX Console and OneFS web administration UI provide central management alongside CLI and REST API interfaces.
