- Description
- The Dell PowerVault line is a family of external data storage systems designed to provide centralised, reliable, and scalable storage for servers and enterprise IT infrastructure. PowerVault products function as storage units rather than computing devices, supplying disk-based data storage, redundancy, and data management while relying on connected servers for processing and application control. The range includes disk enclosures and storage arrays in rack-mounted form factors, supporting multiple drive types and capacities and offering connectivity via industry-standard interfaces such as SAS, iSCSI, and Fibre Channel. PowerVault systems are intended for professional, commercial, and data-centre environments, where they are used to store, protect, and make data available to networked servers.
