The total economic impact of Dell Technologies PowerScale

In June 2020, Dell Technologies commissioned Forrester Consulting to conduct a Total Economic Impact™ (TEI) study and examine the potential return on investment companies can realise by deploying Dell Technologies’ PowerScale OneFS powered systems (formerly known as Isilon).

Key Findings:

  • Organisations experience cost savings of $15.3 million over 3 years including:
    • Storage cost optimisation saves $12,349,240
    • Storage management efficiencies saves $1,306,446
    • Data Centre space savings eliminate $199,113
    • Business value added equals $1,460,556
  • Businesses used more of the storage available to them, increasing from 63% average usage to 85% utilisation with PowerScale.
  • Administrators across the study group managed on average 500 terabytes of data each prior to deploying PowerScale. With PowerScale installed each admin can manage 5 petabytes of data.
