Deliver additional system efficiencies with dynamic pool and inline data reduction software for both hybrid and all flash pools on Unity XT HFAsĪll of the Unity XT performance and efficiency features will definitively help lower IT CapEx and OpEx spending.” – Jeremy Meeler, Systems Programmer/Specialist, North Carolina State University.

Support for new synchronous file replication configurations with fan-out and cascading topologies enhancing disaster recovery operations for the business.

Perform online data-in-place controller upgrades² when more performance, capacity and system limits are required ensuring their initial investment is protected.

The OE 5.2 release will have an immediate impact on 80,000+¹ Dell Unity and Unity XT installed systems worldwide, with significant software enhancements enabling users to: For the right workloads, Unity XT HFAs offer practical and economic advantages relative to (and sometimes in conjunction with) AFAs.

With Unity XT HFAs, these workloads greatly benefit from how Unity XT balances the performance of flash with the cost effectiveness of disk without compromising availability, affordability or features – including multi-cloud interoperability. The new features, which also apply in part to Unity XT AFAs, target the continuing market relevancy for HFAs as a compelling storage solution for small to mid-size enterprises (SME) with general purpose workloads that don’t need the speed and low latency of All Flash/NVMe architectures. Just as important, the 5.2 release brings feature/function parity across the family of Unity XT Hybrid Flash and All-Flash arrays. This software release delivers several important storage technologies designed to simplify how users address capacity expansion and recover data faster, expand disaster recovery topologies, increase storage utilization and cost-effectively upgrade Unity XT systems while lowering CapEx/OpEx.
