Scale up your storage with higher-performing
Dell APEX Block Storage for AWS
In our tests, Dell APEX Block Storage for AWS outperformed similarly configured solutions from
Vendor A*
, achieving more IOPS, better throughput, and more consistent performance on both
NVMe-supported configurations and configurations backed by Elastic Block Store (EBS) alone.
Dell APEX Block Storage for AWS supports a full NVMe backed configuration, but Vendor A doesn’t—its solution
uses EBS for storage capacity and NVMe as an extended read cache—which means APEX Block Storage for AWS
can deliver faster storage performance.
Over 10 test runs, the Vendor A solution had up to a 62% degradation in performance per node, compared to a
3% drop or less for Dell APEX Block Storage for AWS.
