Dell Emc Healthcare Powerchat

In this episode, Vince Westin, Dell Technical Evangelist for PowerMax, discusses the just-released Storage Class Memory (SCM) and NVMe over fabric features of PowerMax. SCM drives can be added non-disruptively and cut read miss times in approximately half - yielding about a 50 µSec improvement in read miss performance, significant when many transactions are down to only a few hundred µSecs. Healthcare workloads involve many different file types and SCM’s machine learning automatically puts the hottest data in the SCM tier, making a relatively small amount of SCM added to an array show a dramatic improvement in overall performance. NVMe over fabric bypasses front end protocols to provide memory-class performance with only minor non-disruptive changes to the environment. Both SCM and NVMe over fabric reduce latency and increase overall throughput. Vince then explains how multiple Epic workloads in Healthcare can be consolidated onto PowerMax, and goes on to discuss the latest advances in NDM (non-disruptiv
