Dell DX Object

A complete lifecycle management solution for fixed digital content

Enterprises are awash in digital data — especially unstructured data in such diverse formats as e-mail, instant messages, documents, spreadsheets, graphics, images, and videos.

Unstructured data growth poses significant challenges for IT organizations that require efficient data access for business, regulatory and compliance needs. Traditional file storage management systems (such as NAS) are proving to be costly and increasingly inadequate for managing digital storage objects. With unstructured data growth expected to continue at a compound annual rate exceeding 60% by some estimates, storage managers urgently need new ways to cope.¹

The Dell™ DX Object Storage Platform is designed to intelligently access, store, protect and distribute fixed digital content. From Web publishing to archiving, the Dell DX Object Storage Platform offers a powerful combination of data and storage management features through an elegant, self-managing, peer-scaling architecture.

Solution Ecosystem Dell is developing solutions with an ecosystem of partners for medical archiving, file and email archiving, sharepoint archiving, eDiscovery and enterprise content management.

By selecting this Dell system instead of a competing solution, we can afford to run a second, remote disk-based storage system to protect data for disaster recovery. Keeping data on disk also enables researchers to retrieve information much more quickly than if we were using tape. — Bas van Breukelen, Asst Prof of Bioinformatics, Utrecht University
