FAQ
What are the typical use cases for the PowerStore 1200T?
The Dell PowerStore 1200T is an all-flash storage array built on NVMe drives and designed for business data storage. It works well for databases, virtualization, and shared file resources. It supports both block and file access in a single device, so it can replace several separate storage systems in a mid-sized environment.
What is the difference between PowerStore T and X models?
T models work as a traditional storage array, serving purely as storage for external servers and applications. X models additionally offer the AppsON feature, which lets you run virtual machines directly on the array. The PowerStore 1200T is therefore the option for those who need high-performance storage capacity alone.
Which communication standards and resource types does the 1200T support?
PowerStore supports both block and file data. Available protocols include Fibre Channel, iSCSI, NFS, and SMB, as well as NVMe over Fabrics. The exact set of interfaces depends on the I/O modules selected in the configuration, so it is best to settle this before placing an order.
How can I expand storage on the 1200T when I start running out of space?
PowerStore is designed as a scalable platform. You can increase capacity by adding more drives and expansion enclosures. Performance and resources can be expanded by combining several appliances into a cluster. The extent of expansion depends on the specific configuration and the manufacturer's applicable limits.
What should I consider when choosing a PowerStore 1200T configuration?
The most important factors are the required usable capacity (taking into account data reduction, which depends on the type of data), the type and number of ports, the selected protocols, and the level of service support. Also check compatibility with your existing network and server infrastructure. You can discuss your configuration choices with a Hardware Direct advisor.
