<p>戴尔科技本周推出了 PowerStore Elite，这是对 PowerStore 存储平台的重大更新，使客户能够以自己的节奏进行升级，而无需进行传统的整体更换。</p>
<p>戴尔科技强调的就地升级与竞争对手如 Everpure 的类似举措相呼应，反映出对传统存储更新周期需要跟上 人工智能基础设施需求 的更广泛认识。</p>
<p>戴尔科技产品营销高级副总裁 Sam Grocott 表示：“数据增长没有放缓。存储必须跟上，并且必须变得越来越高效。”</p>
<p>根据供应商的说法，Elite 版 PowerStore 的改进包括更快的内存和网络、对下一代 CPU 的支持、增强的压缩和去重功能，以及其他软件增强，使其提供三倍于戴尔上一代系统的 IOPS、吞吐量和密度。</p>
<p>Forrester Research 的首席分析师 Brent Ellis 表示：“目前最大的用例是降低成本……你不必为了更换而丢弃所有东西。”</p>
<p>PowerStore Elite 的就地升级意味着客户可以避免与拆卸系统、全面基础设施更换和 退役旧系统 相关的成本和停机时间。戴尔科技的一位发言人将其描述为 “就地现代化”，用户可以在 PowerStore Elite 中更换控制器升级，以持续扩展其环境，而无需更换机箱和 E3 NVMe 驱动器或迁移数据。</p>
<p>同样，PowerStore 的集群架构还使当前的 PowerStore 用户能够直接加入现有部署，而无需停机——使旧阵列可以重新用于次要用途。这两种方法使客户能够以自己的节奏进行现代化，而不是进行一次高风险的更新。</p>
<h2>Elite 对 PowerStore 的改进</h2>
<p>戴尔科技基础设施和电信营销高级副总裁 Varun Chhabra 表示：“PowerStore Elite 代表了该平台历史上最大的飞跃。这是对硬件和软件的全面更新，建立在两年前 PowerStore Prime 的成功基础上。”</p>
<p>性能和吞吐量的三倍提升来自多个改进。一个 40 驱动槽机箱可以在 3U 系统中容纳多达 5.8 PB 的数据。PowerStore Elite 还转向了现在行业标准的低轮廓 E3 NVMe 驱动器，同时支持 QLC 和 TLC NAND 闪存。这些改进使得将更多工作负载整合到更少的系统中成为可能。PowerStore Elite 还支持文件和块工作负载，并提供跨集群的移动性。</p>
<p>Elite 的工作负载端口数量是当前 PowerStore 代的两倍，支持高达 64 Gbps 的光纤通道和 100 Gbps 的 Ethernet 速度。戴尔的生命周期扩展 计划 将这一切联系在一起，旨在简化升级。Elite 采用模块化设计，意味着组织可以根据需要进行升级，以提高性能、I/O、容量或软件。</p>
<p>Chhabra 表示：“我们的生命周期扩展计划简化了经济和升级过程，因此现代化实际上是自动进行的。”</p>
<h2>更大的趋势</h2>
<p>Ellis 说：“戴尔并不是第一个进入这个市场的。”</p>
<p>其他具有类似功能的供应商包括 Everpure（前身为 Pure Storage）和 Lenovo Infinidat。Ellis 预计类似服务将朝着就地升级的方向发展。</p>
<blockquote>
<p>人们不想进行全面的基础设施更换。他们只想根据自己的需要逐步升级。 <strong>Brent Ellis</strong> Forrester Research 首席分析师</p>
</blockquote>
<p>例如，Evergreen 是 Everpure 的存储即服务平台，旨在实现持续的存储升级而不产生干扰。Evergreen 是组件化的，意味着用户只需更换所需的直接组件。</p>
<p>升级模型正变得越来越渐进，与实际能力需求相关的有计划升级，而不是一次性更换大型存储系统。这种方法受到构建 AI 训练基础设施的组织的青睐，因为高速存储性能和容量需求变化的速度快于传统的更新周期。</p>
<p>戴尔科技副董事长兼首席运营官 Jeff Clarke 在戴尔科技世界 2026 上表示：“PowerStore 的容器化架构意味着一切都是模块化和可升级的，这意味着它将随着工作负载的演变而发展，并随着新技术的出现而适应。PowerStore Elite 是未来证明的定义。”</p>
<p>Ellis 说：“这也是更大的资本支出。如果你处于像我们现在这样的环境中，供应链和物价上涨，人们不想进行全面的基础设施更换。他们只想根据自己的需要逐步升级。”</p>

戴尔科技-C

<p>戴尔科技推出了 PowerStore Elite，这是一款升级的存储平台，允许客户在不进行全面更换的情况下现代化他们的系统。这种就地升级的方法满足了人工智能基础设施日益增长的需求，提供了更高的性能、效率和成本节约。主要特点包括更快的内存、对下一代 CPU 的支持以及改进的 IOPS。模块化设计使得逐步升级成为可能，符合行业趋势，偏向于渐进式改进而非传统的更新周期</p>

<p>Dell Technologies this week introduced PowerStore Elite, a major update to the PowerStore storage platform that enables customers to upgrade at their own pace, without a traditional forklift refresh.</p>
<div class="lb-trans"><p>戴尔科技本周推出了 PowerStore Elite，这是对 PowerStore 存储平台的重大更新，使客户能够以自己的节奏进行升级，而无需进行传统的整体更换。</p>
</div><p>Dell Technologies' emphasis on in-place upgrades follows similar moves by competitors such as Everpure, reflecting a broader recognition that traditional storage refresh cycles need to keep up with the demands of an AI infrastructure environment.</p>
<div class="lb-trans"><p>戴尔科技强调的就地升级与竞争对手如 Everpure 的类似举措相呼应，反映出对传统存储更新周期需要跟上 人工智能基础设施需求 的更广泛认识。</p>
</div><p>&#34;Data growth isn't slowing down. Storage has got to keep up, and it's got to become more and more efficient as well,&#34; said Sam Grocott, senior vice president of product marketing at Dell Technologies.</p>
<div class="lb-trans"><p>戴尔科技产品营销高级副总裁 Sam Grocott 表示：“数据增长没有放缓。存储必须跟上，并且必须变得越来越高效。”</p>
</div><p>Improvements made to PowerStore in the Elite edition include faster memory and networking, support for next-generation CPUs, enhanced compression and deduplication, and other software enhancements that provide three times the IOPS, throughput and density compared to Dell’s previous-generation systems, according to the vendor.</p>
<div class="lb-trans"><p>根据供应商的说法，Elite 版 PowerStore 的改进包括更快的内存和网络、对下一代 CPU 的支持、增强的压缩和去重功能，以及其他软件增强，使其提供三倍于戴尔上一代系统的 IOPS、吞吐量和密度。</p>
</div><p>&#34;The biggest use case for this right now is that it reduces the cost. ... You don't have to junk everything in order to do the replacement,&#34; said Brent Ellis, principal analyst at Forrester Research.</p>
<div class="lb-trans"><p>Forrester Research 的首席分析师 Brent Ellis 表示：“目前最大的用例是降低成本……你不必为了更换而丢弃所有东西。”</p>
</div><p>PowerStore Elite's in-place upgrades mean customers can avoid the costs and downtime associated with de-racking systems, full infrastructure swaps and the logistics of decommissioning older systems. A Dell Technologies spokesperson describes this as &#34;in-place modernization,&#34; where users can swap in controller upgrades within PowerStore Elite to grow their environment continuously without replacing the chassis and E3 NVMe drives or migrating data.</p>

</div><p>Similarly, PowerStore's clustering architecture also enables current PowerStore users to join existing deployments directly with no downtime -- enabling older arrays to be repurposed for secondary uses. Both methods enable customers to modernize at their own pace rather than performing a single, higher-risk refresh.</p>

</div><h2>Elite's improvements to PowerStore</h2>
<div class="lb-trans"><h2>Elite 对 PowerStore 的改进</h2>
</div><p>&#34;PowerStore Elite represents the biggest leap forward in the platform's history,&#34; said Varun Chhabra, senior vice president of infrastructure and telecom marketing at Dell Technologies. &#34;It is a full refresh of hardware and software, building on the success of PowerStore Prime from two years ago.&#34;</p>
<div class="lb-trans"><p>戴尔科技基础设施和电信营销高级副总裁 Varun Chhabra 表示：“PowerStore Elite 代表了该平台历史上最大的飞跃。这是对硬件和软件的全面更新，建立在两年前 PowerStore Prime 的成功基础上。”</p>
</div><p>The three times increase in performance and throughput comes from several improvements. A 40-drive slot chassis can hold up to 5.8 petabytes in a 3U system. PowerStore Elite is also moving to the now industry-standard low-profile E3 NVMe drives, while supporting both QLC and TLC NAND flash memory. These improvements enable the consolidation of more workloads into fewer systems. PowerStore Elite also supports both file and block workloads and provides mobility across clusters.</p>
<div class="lb-trans"><p>性能和吞吐量的三倍提升来自多个改进。一个 40 驱动槽机箱可以在 3U 系统中容纳多达 5.8 PB 的数据。PowerStore Elite 还转向了现在行业标准的低轮廓 E3 NVMe 驱动器，同时支持 QLC 和 TLC NAND 闪存。这些改进使得将更多工作负载整合到更少的系统中成为可能。PowerStore Elite 还支持文件和块工作负载，并提供跨集群的移动性。</p>
</div><p>Elite features twice as many workload ports as the current PowerStore generation and supports up to 64-gigabit Fibre Channel and 100-gigabit Ethernet speeds. Dell's Lifecycle Extension program ties this together, aiming to simplify upgrades. Elite is built modularly, meaning organizations make upgrades to improve performance, I/O, capacity or software as needed.</p>

</div><p>&#34;Our lifecycle extension program simplifies both the economics and the upgrade process, so modernization really goes on autopilot,&#34; said Chhabra.</p>

</div><p>The upgrade model is becoming more incremental, with measured upgrades tied to actual capability needs, rather than replacing large storage systems all at once. This approach is preferred by organizations building out AI training infrastructure, where high-speed storage performance and capacity requirements are changing faster than traditional refresh cycles.</p>

</div><p>&#34;PowerStore’s container-based architecture means that everything is modular and upgradable, which means that it will evolve as workloads evolve and adapt as new technologies emerge. PowerStore Elite is the definition of future-proofed,&#34; said Jeff Clarke, vice chairman and chief operating officer for Dell Technologies, speaking at Dell Technologies World 2026.</p>

</div><p>&#34;It's also a larger capital outlay,&#34; Ellis said. &#34;If you're in an environment like we are now, where the supply chain and the cost of things is going up, people don't want to do full infrastructure swaps. They just want to gradually upgrade as they see fit.&#34;</p>
