Dell Storage and Arcitecta Mediaflux® Edge: Consolidate, Centralise, and Optimise Your Data Across the Globe

Transmitting data over distances has become commonplace for organizations with increasingly distributed workforces. Latency reduction in distributed workflows is a primary use case for Mediaflux Edge. Mediaflux Edge can help improve application performance by storing frequently accessed data closer to the end users. Caching aims to reduce unnecessary end-to-end data transfers by keeping frequently accessed content at the edge, close to users. This dramatically reduces redundant data transfers, eases network traffic and meets applications’ low-latency requirements.

Mediaflux Edge features a fast file system front end, backed by Dell ECS object or Dell PowerScale file storage. Utilizing high-performance Dell PowerEdge-based appliances, it ensures that frequently accessed data is stored close to users. As a key component of the edge computing model, this solution places key data near the network’s edge, efficiently meeting local performance needs. This setup also allows for easy and limitless scalability through a central hub or repository architecture.
