Digital infrastructure company Equinix, Inc. (NASDAQ:EQIX) announced today the availability of Dell PowerStore on Equinix Metal, a new, enterprise-grade Storage as a Service (STaaS) solution.
Dell PowerStore on Equinix Metal with flexible configurations can help enterprises manage a wide range of high-performance multicloud workloads through low-latency connectivity with proximity to major public clouds.
Dell PowerStore on Equinix Metal delivers scalable and flexible storage—with the option to burst by 25% above committed capacity—to meet market demands and reduce total cost of ownership (TCO) while effectively optimizing resources, accelerating agility and driving innovation.
The Dell PowerStore on Equinix Metal service offering allows enterprises to view, manage and globally deploy storage, compute and networking, achieving simplified infrastructure management and reduced operational overhead. The comprehensive single-tenant storage solution is designed for cloud adjacent environments: with more private cloud on-ramps inside Equinix International Business Exchange™ (IBX®) data centers than anywhere else in the world, customers benefit from fast, secure and scalable access to public cloud providers.
“Businesses need storage solutions that allow them to be more agile and get the most out of their hybrid multicloud architectures,” said Merrie Williamson, Chief Customer and Revenue Officer at Equinix. “By combining the powerful capabilities of Dell PowerStore with Equinix’s global platform, we are giving them the low-latency, high-performance connectivity they require without sacrificing on security or breaking their budget.”
The Dell Partner First Strategy for Storage provides predictability and opportunities for partners to work together to deliver solutions for customers, including Dell PowerStore on Equinix Metal. This STaaS solution, available via channel partners later this year, expands the portfolio of options for Dell partners.
