The VMAX 250F kept latency under 1 ms when simultaneously processing transactional and data mart loading, with minimal impact to the number of input/output operations per second (IOPS).

Manage transactional and data mart loads with superior performance and high availability

We set up and tested All-Flash storage arrays from Dell EMC™ and HPE and found that the Dell EMC VMAX™ 250F All Flash storage array paired with PowerEdge™ servers came out ahead of the HPE 3PAR 8450 storage array backed by ProLiant servers in two key areas:

Support customers and maintenance situations at the same time

We interrupted access to both local storage arrays—the Dell EMC database host seamlessly redirected all I/O to the remote VMAX 250F via SRDF/Metro with no interruption of service or downtime. The 3PAR solution crashed until the standby paths became active and we restarted the VM.
