Dell to launch mid-tier storage arrays in India

MUMBAI: Computer technology firm Dell today announced it has entered the mid-range fibre channel storage market by launching a new series of products.

The full-featured, enterprise storage arrays have been designed for mid-sized fibre channel deployments, the US-based company said.

The new SC4000 series of storage arrays will debut with SC4020 series throughout the Asia-Pacific region, including India, in May and worldwide availability is planned for later this year, Dell India Enterprise Solutions Group Director & General Manager S Sridhar told reporters here.

The new storage array series, with an all-flash solution, will cost up to 76 per cent less than competing pure flash arrays. It is the latest addition to Dell's customer-driven enterprise data centre portfolio of solutions designed to make IT more efficient and practical, he said.

"CIOs of Indian enterprises with mid-sized workloads are required to optimise their IT infrastructure and remain ahead of their peers in providing world-class services to their internal as well external customers.

"They are looking for efficient choices in IT infrastructure that provide higher performance, greater productivity within their budget," Sridhar said.
