Dell EMC Unity XT 380

The Dell EMC Unity XT 380 is a modern unified storage array designed for performance, efficiency and multi-cloud readiness. It features a dual-active controller architecture, with 2 x Intel CPUs (12 cores total per array) and 128 GB of system memory, powering fast and predictable throughput. The platform supports both block and file workloads (iSCSI, NFS, SMB, FC, and VMware VVols), enabling consolidation of diverse applications under a single system.

Built for efficiency, Unity XT 380 incorporates inline data reduction (compression and deduplication), automated tiering (FAST VP), and cache acceleration (FAST Cache) to optimize capacity usage while maintaining performance. It scales to 500 drives and up to 2.4 PB raw capacity, supporting thousands of LUNs and file systems with flexible storage pools. For protection and resiliency, it offers point-in-time snapshots, local and remote replication, and data-at-rest encryption.

Management is streamlined via an intuitive HTML5 user interface and analytics via CloudIQ. Its architecture is NVMe-ready and cloud-aware, allowing seamless integration with public and hybrid cloud services. With the Unity XT 380, organizations gain a balanced, high-performance, scalable storage platform that accelerates consolidation, simplifies operations, and future-proofs their infrastructure.
