Dell PowerStore 500T NVMe Storage Array
Dell PowerStore 500T NVMe Storage Array in Qatar
The Dell PowerStore 500T is the entry model of Dell's PowerStore family, a 2U NVMe all-flash array with two active-active nodes and 25 NVMe drive slots in the base enclosure. Each appliance uses two Intel Xeon CPUs with 24 cores and 192 GB of memory, supports up to 97 drives with expansion enclosures, and reaches up to 1,490 TB raw capacity. It serves block, file (NFS and SMB) and VMware vVols from one system, supports NVMe/FC and NVMe/TCP, and can scale out to four appliances in a cluster. In Qatar it suits mid-sized enterprises and branch data centres replacing older SAN storage. AstenAI supplies, racks, configures and supports the PowerStore 500T in Doha and across Qatar.

According to Dell's specification sheet, the 500T supports 16/32 Gb Fibre Channel and 10/25 GbE iSCSI, but 10GBase-T and 100 GbE front-end ports are not available on this model. If you need those, AstenAI will suggest the PowerStore 1200T or a higher model.
Yes. PowerStore 500T can grow with up to three 24-drive NVMe expansion enclosures per appliance and can join a cluster of up to four appliances, and Dell allows mixed models in a cluster. AstenAI plans this growth path with you in Qatar.
