Functional Area Hardware Hardware Hardware Hardware Import Import Import Import Import Feature Description Summary of Benefits Next generation nodes for PowerStore appliances PS9000 and PS7000 are replaced with the PS9200 featuring dual SkyLake 28-core processor running at 2.2GHz per node PS5000 is replaced with the PS7200 featuring dual SkyLake 24-core processors running at 2.2GHz per node PS3000 is replaced with the PS3200 featuring dual SkyLake 16-core processors running at 2.1GHZ per node PS1000 is replaced with the PS1200 featuring dual SkyLake 10-core processors running at 2.4GHz per node Scalability limitations are differentiated for each hardware platform. Customers can purchase either one or two pair of 100GbE optional IO cards for front-end connectivity. Allow for new Embedded IO Module v2 to be used in PowerStore Gen1 hardware. The Embedded IO Module V2 has one 4-port card slot used primarily for intercluster connectivity, one 2-port card slot primarily used for 100GbE expansion enclosure connectivity, and two embedded 1GbE ports. Allows users to leverage Fibre Channel (FC) for backend connectivity. Provides agent-less migration from VMAX hybrids (100K, 200K, 400K) and All Flash (250F, 450F, 850F and 950F) to PowerStore. Moves Production Data, Data Protection needs to be re-established after the migration The non-disruptive import feature supports additional operating systems. This enhancement is based on the support for RHEL 8.0, 8.1, 8.2, and 8.3, Windows Server 2019, and vSphere 7.0 for host OS. For the most up-to-date supported versions of software and systems, see the PowerStore Simple Support Matrix for PowerStore. Provides the agent-less migration from NTAP arrays to PowerStore. Data Protection needs to be re-established after the migration. Allows a user to migrate NAS Servers with its configuration and data from an existing source VNX2 storage system to a destination PowerStore appliance. This feature provides a built-in capability for NFS-only and SMB-only NAS Servers with minimal or no disruption to clients. The next generation nodes provide increased IO performance along with hardware enabled security components to ensure a safe and stable storage platform. The scalability limitations allow customers to plan storage environments with flexible implementation and varied use cases. Dual 100GbE ports that can be used to serve front-end Ethernet traffic. Provides support for a new Embedded IO Module v2 to be used for PowerStore Gen1 hardware. This new IO Module allows for better performance and support for a 100GbE Mezz to be used with the new NVMe expansion enclosure. Allows users to leverage Fibre Channel (FC) as back-end connectivity, expanding the number of customers who can leverage Destination PowerStore to migrate from XtremIO, VNX, Unity or Storage Center arrays. Provides intuitive migration of production data using the same workflow as XtremIO and NetApp imports. This enhancement provides the ability to migrate applications running on RHEL 8.0, 8.1, 8.2, or 8.3, or Windows Server 2019, or vSphere 7.0 to PowerStore. Provides intuitive migration of production data using the same workflow as XtremIO and VMAX imports. Expands the import capability of a PowerStore appliance to include file-based import from a VNX2 storage system. New Features 5
