Dell Technologies has announced new private cloud infrastructure updates designed to help organizations manage both traditional and modern workloads with greater speed, efficiency, and security.
Many IT teams today struggle with rising costs, evolving virtualization needs, and vendor lock-in. To address this, Dell is expanding its private cloud offerings with disaggregated infrastructure – compute, storage, and cyber resilience solutions, that give customers more flexibility and control over their data.
At the core of this strategy is the Dell Automation Platform, available with on-premises or SaaS deployment. It allows IT teams to automate, scale, and manage private cloud environments using their preferred cloud OS stack alongside Dell’s infrastructure portfolio, including PowerStore, PowerFlex, and PowerMax. AI-driven automation also helps simplify monitoring and management, while Dell NativeEdge integration brings security and efficiency across edge and distributed cloud environments.
Key product updates include:
- Dell PowerStore: Adds a cost-efficient QLC flash model and upcoming Nutanix Cloud Platform support, delivering high-performance storage with flexible scaling.
- Dell PowerFlex: Enhanced with the new Scalable Availability Engine (SAE) for greater efficiency, resiliency, and scalability in software-defined data centers.
- Dell PowerMax: Provides up to 25% higher performance, faster automation with one-click updates, and expanded security including Single Sign-On with Microsoft Entra ID.
- Dell PowerProtect: Expands with the compact DD3410 appliance for remote sites and a new Data Manager Appliance offering centralized, cyber-resilient backup and recovery.
