ObjectScale XF960 All-Flash Object Storage Overview

The ObjectScale XF960 is the next leap in all-flash object storage for enterprises looking to super-charge their AI insights and innovations. It delivers extreme scale, speed and resiliency through extensive hardware advances based on the PowerEdge R760xd. Rack capacity ranges from 230.4 TB to 47.19 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.
