Dell EMC PowerOne – Product Brief

Note: Evaluator Group research of Converged Infrastructure has been discontinued. The following Product Brief has been archived and is no longer being maintained for updates as of January 2023.

Dell EMC’s PowerOne is a Converged Infrastructure (CI) solution consisting of Dell EMC MX7000 blade chassis, Dell networking components and Dell EMC PowerMax or Unity XT storage systems, with Dell EMC PowerProtect software, sold as an integrated, rack-level solution. PowerOne is designed to provide a complete infrastructure stack for specific use cases, especially those supporting the most critical, tier-1 applications such as database, cloud computing, server virtualization, etc.

Unlike Dell EMC’s VxBlock, which includes Cisco switches and servers, PowerOne only uses Dell EMC hardware. And unlike Dell EMC’s Ready Stack, PowerOne is only available with the components listed above, assembled, pre-configured and installed by Dell EMC and its partners. The most significant difference between PowerOne and these other Dell EMC CI solutions is the PowerOne Controller.

PowerOne Controller is a separate management and orchestration platform that runs on separate rack-mounted servers. This software has a microservices architecture that runs in Kubernetes containers. It uses Ansible to manage API calls that automate the deployment, upgrade and expansion of the PowerOne solution.

Launch Assist provides acquisition, configuration and system initialization, actually shipping the system racked and tested at the factory. PowerOne can provide a workload-ready VMware cluster in a few clicks, what Dell EMC calls a “near zero-touch experience”.

Welcome

The vision behind everything in Futurum’s Custom Research practice is this: research should show you what is happening, what comes next, and what to do about it. It should be personal to each audience, easy for people to grasp, and structured so LLMs can reason over it accurately. And it should be fast and turnkey; you want answers now, not another project to carry for quarters.

Whether you are defining business, channel, or go-to-market strategy; evaluating vendors or justifying ROI; or commissioning research to fill an emerging market need, we have your back, with a program that answers your questions with the objectivity and credibility to drive real decisions.

To do it, we bring unmatched data to bear: Futurum research, surveys, and market projections; validated market feeds; ETR’s 15 years of insight from 10,000 technology decision-makers; G2’s buyer and user data; and what our analysts hear every day. Add leading primary collection, from AI-moderated voice interviews to surveys and analyst-led interviews, all turnkey, and every project comes out credible, nuanced, and actionable.

And we don’t just drop the results in your lap. For internal work, we provide analyst-led sessions, interactive dashboards, and a range of formats. For market-facing work, Futurum delivers turnkey activation and amplification that actually gets seen, by people and by LLMs, through our media and share of voice. This is research that moves decisions and markets.

We will meet you wherever you are, from a fast-turn brief to a multi-year program, and shape the work to your goals, timeline, and budget. The right program for your moment.

If any of this is useful, I would love to talk.
