If you think back to Dell Technologies World, there were a number of announcements around software-defined and as-a-service options relating to storage and, more specifically, PowerScale. Dell believes the PowerScale is the most flexible and secure scale-out NAS solution on the market. Brian asks some pointed questions about Dell’s as-a-service consumption models as well as SSD partners.

It is an interesting conversation with specifics on Dell tests for SSD endurance and reliability. Dell uses the test results to determine how long the SSDs remain under warranty. David also discusses server densities and how that affects overall TCO. Overall this is a great primer for any PowerScale customer considering the new QLC SSD offering from Dell.

This is an interesting discussion about storage technology and the server market. It is definitely worth the time, but if you want to jump straight into a topic, the timestamps are below.
