About the Dell PowerVault ME5024 PV-ME5024
The Dell EMC PowerVault ME5024 (PV-ME5024) delivers up to 184.8 TB of raw capacity across 24 SFF drive bays in a compact 2U rack form factor, positioning this mid-tier storage array as a flexible architecture for mixed workload environments. Built on the proven PowerVault ME5 Series platform, this dual active-active controller system supports NVMe SSD, SAS SSD, and SAS HDD media types, enabling storage architects and IT procurement teams to balance performance, capacity, and cost within a single unified appliance.
Dell EMC engineered the PV-ME5024 for enterprise resilience, equipping it with redundant hot-swap power supplies, redundant hot-swap fan modules, and up to 16 GB of write cache per controller backed by supercapacitor protection. The array connects via 10GbE iSCSI, 25GbE iSCSI, 16Gb Fibre Channel, 32Gb Fibre Channel, or 12Gb SAS interfaces, while data services including automated storage tiering, thin provisioning, snapshots, volume copy, and synchronous or asynchronous replication streamline operational efficiency. Management occurs through PowerVault Manager GUI, REST API, or CLI. The system supports Windows Server, Red Hat Enterprise Linux, SUSE Linux Enterprise Server, VMware vSphere, and Microsoft Hyper-V environments, and scales horizontally via ME5 Series 2U12 and 2U24 expansion enclosures.
Enterprise Deployment Scenarios
- Virtualized datacenter consolidation with VMware vSphere and Microsoft Hyper-V environments requiring tiered SSD and HDD configurations
- Synchronous replication deployments across peer ME5 Series arrays for mission-critical database protection
- Mixed Linux infrastructure supporting Red Hat Enterprise Linux and SUSE Linux Enterprise Server workloads with native iSCSI or Fibre Channel connectivity
- Capacity-dense environments leveraging 184.8 TB maximum raw storage within minimal rack footprint (2U height)
- Branch office and remote site storage with asynchronous replication back to central Dell EMC arrays
