ObjectScale X560 Object Storage
The Dell ObjectScale X560 Object Storage is an enterprise object storage appliance based on Intel x86 servers, with 6, 12 or 24 disk drives per node and up to 9,216 TB (9.2 PB) of raw capacity per rack. It provides S3 and multiprotocol access under a single global namespace.
ObjectScale X560 Object Storage Overview
The ObjectScale X560 is a modern, general-purpose HDD platform offering the perfect blend of economy and density for AI data lake storage, featuring hardware innovations based on the PowerEdge R760xd2. Rack capacity ranges from 60 TB to 9.22 PB.
Dell ObjectScale is an enterprise-grade, cloud-scale object storage platform that lets any
organisation deliver scalable public cloud services with the reliability and control of private
cloud infrastructure. It provides S3 and multiprotocol support for object workloads and manages
globally distributed storage infrastructure under a single global namespace. ObjectScale is in its
fourth generation of hardware appliances, the X-Series, building on the EMC Centera, Atmos and ECS
platforms that preceded it.
