  • Why Dell EMC for Mainframe

    PowerMax 8000 takes its place in Dell EMC’s 27+ year history of innovation with consolidation, mixed workload savings and protection of the most critical component of your mainframe investment: the data. Dell EMC made DASD more affordable by storing mainframe data while storing, deduplicating and compressing non-mainframe data and in the same array. The new PowerMax8000 and VMAX All Flash arrays offer the new Mirror Optimizer for faster, less resource intensive DR site replication, newly enhanced zDP data protection and enhanced IBM compatibility features.
