PowerVault MD and PowerEdge server products have united to provide businesses with a future-ready path that will ensure continued value into the distant future.
PowerVault JBODs are ideal for high-capacity workloads and are available in three affordable enclosures including MD2412 (2U), MD2424 (2U) and MD2460 (4U). The MD2412 and MD2424 2U models use 3.5” HDDs and 2.5” SSDs respectively while the MD2460 4U dense model uses 3.5” HDDs and will scale up to 2.4PB.

Better Together: PowerEdge Servers & PowerVault Storage
Adding external storage to servers can create many tangible benefits for IT organizations. Separating servers from storage means you won’t be faced with server upgrades or server swaps due to lack of capacity. When connected to an MD system, server upgrades and maintenance can occur without data disruption as data remains in place. PowerEdge servers connected to PowerVault MD products give IT organizations a dynamic and scalable infrastructure for any size business – flexibly and economically
