Dell needed to consolidate its data analytics databases into a single data lake that would leverage Dell’s modern cloud technology to increase agility, efficiency, and capacity. Dell IT’s data organization is in the midst of a multi-year process to migrate data from the old legacy systems into a new modern environment centered on Dell EMC PowerFlex and Dell EMC PowerScale.

PowerFlex and PowerScale may turn out to be the key to the problems.

Dell aims to achieve results for the general benefit and has the following as its first steps:

  • Ability to tier storage;
  • Improved efficiency in scaling the environment;
  • Non-disruptive node maintenance and replacement.
  • Increased Hadoop service levels and performance while significantly reducing overall Hadoop platform costs.
  • PowerScale allows IT to replicate highest-priority Hadoop workloads, enabling disaster recovery.
  • PowerFlex provides high-performance and low latency for data lake applications and datasets.
  • PowerFlex provides a common platform for applications that complement the data lake.
  • PowerFlex and PowerScale mixed architecture takes up less data center space than traditional servers.
