EMC ScaleIO
Turbo charge server performance with ScaleIO — a hyper-converged solution that uses your existing servers and turns them into a software-defined SAN with massive scalability, 10x better performance, and 60% lower cost.
Dell EMC ScaleIO (now Dell EMC VxFlex OS) is a software-defined storage platform that converts existing server direct-attached storage into a shared, highly performant block storage pool. By deploying ScaleIO software on commodity x86 servers, organizations can build a scale-out SAN without dedicated storage hardware. The solution delivers sub-millisecond latency and linear performance scaling — each server added to the cluster contributes both compute and storage capacity. ScaleIO is ideal for organizations that want the economics of hyper-convergence with the flexibility of a software-defined approach.

Server & StorageKey Features
Software-Defined SAN
Converts server DAS into shared block storage with no dedicated storage hardware or Fibre Channel switches required.
10× Performance
Delivers consistent sub-millisecond latency and 10× higher IOPS versus traditional SAN at the same cost point.
Linear Scale-Out
Every server added increases both compute and storage capacity proportionally — scale from 3 to 1,000+ nodes.
60% Cost Reduction
Commodity server economics eliminate proprietary storage hardware, reducing total storage cost by up to 60%.
