About the Dell PowerStore 4000T
The Dell EMC PowerStore 4000T delivers unified block, file, and virtualized workload storage in a compact 2U dual-node appliance architecture, supporting scale-out deployments of up to 4 appliances per PowerStore cluster under unified management. This active-active dual-node system (part number PWS4000T) combines NVMe SSD storage with NVMe SCM acceleration to balance performance and capacity for mixed enterprise workloads, while built-in inline deduplication and compression reduce operational storage footprint automatically.
Built on Dell EMC's container-based microservices operating system, PowerStore 4000T runs non-disruptive rolling software updates and native VMware ESXi through AppsON embedded virtualization, eliminating the need for separate hypervisor infrastructure. The platform supports synchronous and asynchronous replication modes, including Metro Volume for zero-RPO active-active deployment across sites, alongside space-efficient snapshots with application-consistent protection. For storage architects and IT procurement teams evaluating converged infrastructure, the PowerStore 4000T offers a single control plane via PowerStore Manager (HTML5 UI), REST API, and CLI, integrated with Dell EMC CloudIQ for AI-driven health monitoring and proactive capacity analytics. Data-at-rest encryption and VASA 3.0 vSphere integration address security and virtualization governance requirements out of the box.
