“It’s more than just the addition of the G13 servers,” Clifford told CRN. “It’s pushing massive IOPS. The upgraded hardware gives Dell a lot of running room for long-term enhancements. Dell is setting it up for Storage Center 7.0. It will have some [exceptional] features, and will need the extra performance.”
With the SC9000, Dell is showing its ability to innovate to make sure customers don’t get left behind, Clifford said. “We’re at that moment in time where the industry is shifting to hybrid flash and all-flash,” he said. “Customers need the IOPS to make it happen, and the SC9000 provides it.”
