Manage storage at the data center level

Although a single SC9000 storage array provides quick, modular expansion to over 3PB raw SAN and/or NAS capacity per array, it can also be interconnected with other SC Series arrays in larger federated systems, elevating and abstracting data control across your environment.

• Included Live Migrate “storage hypervisor” feature lets you move volumes non-disruptively between arrays without remapping hosts.
• Included Volume Advisor proactively monitors all arrays for the optimal volume placement, based on customiseable policies.

Flash and hybrid performance powerhouse

Innovative all-flash and hybrid SC9000 solutions can revolutionise the speed and impact of your applications. Intelligent multi-tier SSD capability, new 12Gb SAS backend, and a wide range of HDDs and ultra-dense expansion options give SC9000 the power, throughput headroom and ultimate flexibility to meet ever-changing workload demands.

With the Dell EMC SC9000 storage array, flash becomes practical and cost-effective at any scale, extending its proven competitive advantages to more aspects of your data-driven business.

Modular, enterprise-grade platform

Redundant, hot-swappable components make the SC9000 a resilient, easy-to-deploy and highly available solution. Add capacity quickly with any of five supported expansion enclosures.
