The Total Economic Impact Of Deploying Dell EMC PowerScale Storage

Organizations need to manage massive amounts of unstructured data that continues to grow exponentially. Whether the data is created at the edge, core, or cloud, unstructured data helps customers innovate with data, understand business results while quickly and proactively acting on business opportunities. PowerScale scale-out storage solutions are designed for organizations that want to store unstructured data anywhere, at the edge, the data center, or the cloud.

Cost Savings And Business Benefits Enabled By Deploying Dell EMC PowerScale Storage

To better understand the benefits, costs, and risks associated with migrating to a PowerScale implementation, Forrester interviewed four customers with experience using the Dell EMC PowerScale OneFS operating system. Customer interviewees noted that the PowerScale family of solutions required little training, and that managing clusters with several petabits (PBs) of data required one FTE, as compared to their previous solutions. Interviewees also noted that in addition to scalability and cost effectiveness, the performance and resiliency of their PowerScale clusters help their organizations to both support fast business growth and reduce downtime. Customers can also run a wide variety of workloads on the same data set within a single platform.


For this TEI study, Forrester has created a composite Organization to illustrate the quantifiable benefits and costs of investing in PowerScale solutions. See the Composite Organization section below for a more in-depth description.
