Dell Elastic Cloud Storage (ECS) / ObjectScale – Product Brief

Dell Elastic Cloud Storage (ECS) is object storage offered as software or using commodity servers and storage devices as a complete system. The system can scale with multiple nodes and is offered as a complete rack solution or individual nodes. A node uses a Dell PowerEdge server. Storage is in an attached enclosure with several options including high-density nodes. ECS models include the EX500, EX5000, and EXF900 with NVMe SSDs.

Dell ObjectScale is a container-based implementation for object storage primarily with the ECS software that has been refactored. There is a licensed version of ObjectScale software and a free version targeted at developers.

Software includes storage resource management functionality with capacity management and reporting, capacity reclamation and rebalancing reporting, and threshold alerting.

Deployment can be across multiple sites in an active-active configuration, allowing for geo-distribution of data and forward error correction using erasure codes for data protection. Causal consistency is supported for access integrity of the distributed system.

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.
