SMARTER, FASTER, PROVEN DATA MANAGEMENT FOR DELL DATA STORAGE

With Komprise you get a faster, no lock-in path to the cloud for your Dell EMC Isilon file data. Whether your use case is cloud tiering, cloud data migration or optimizing performance and reducing costs, with Komprise for Dell EMC technologies you are able to:

IDENTIFY DATA THAT CAN MOVE TO DELL EMC TARGETS
Get a single view of how NAS & object data is growing and being used across your storage silos. Identify what data is hot vs. what’s inactive and gone cold to be tiered, archived, replicated or moved to EMC targets (Dell EMC Isilon, PowerScale, Unity, ECS).

FORECAST DELL ISILON STORAGE SAVINGS AND ROI
Explore setting different policies for the data you want to migrate, transparently tier and archive, or replicate to EMC targets and instantly visualize your projected savings and ROI.

ACCESS DATA FROM DELL EMC ECS STORAGE WITHOUT LOCK-IN
When Komprise moves data to ECS, the moved data is still accessible as files from your NAS or as files or objects in ECS without any vendor lock-in. Accessing data remains the same for users and applications—zero disruption.

MIGRATE OBJECT DATA INTO DELL ECS
Migrate petabytes of data from any other NAS or object storage, simply and reliably with Komprise patented Elastic Data Migration. Get full data fidelity, reliably fast data transfer, and intelligent data migrations using analytics.

SMART DATA MIGRATION FOR ISILON
Cloud migrations or NAS migrations, with analytics-driven Elastic Data Migration you can run, monitor, move and manage hundreds of data migrations faster at a fraction of the cost. Learn more about Smart Isilon Migration.

MANAGE DELL STORAGE UNSTRUCTURED DATA COST EFFECTIVELY
With sub-cloud pricing and a virtual-machine based solution that requires no dedicated infrastructure, you can seamlessly move and manage data without cost or complexity.

SCALE ON-DEMAND WITH KOMPRISE
Scale as needed to handle petabytes and beyond by simply adding more virtual machines without scaling limits or dedicated infrastructure.

THE EASY, FAST, NO LOCK-IN PATH TO THE CLOUD FOR DELL EMC ISILON FILE DATA
Built-in storage tiering solutions lock data in a proprietary block format, which can result in +75% higher cloud egress costs. Understand your Cloud Tiering Choices.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does Komprise work with Dell PowerScale and ObjectScale?
Komprise integrates directly with Dell PowerScale (formerly Isilon) and Dell ObjectScale (formerly ECS) to give IT teams a single view of hot and cold data across these platforms and every other NAS or object store they run. Using Komprise Elastic Data Migration, organizations can move petabytes of data onto or off Dell storage with full fidelity, and Komprise Transparent Move Technology automatically tiers cold data to lower-cost storage or the cloud without disrupting users or applications, cutting storage and backup costs 70%+ with zero vendor lock-in.
How does Komprise deliver AI-ready data management beyond what Dell offers natively?
Dell storage platforms are built to store and protect data, not to prepare it for AI, and native Dell tools work within the Dell ecosystem, leaving multi-vendor environments without a single view of what data exists, where it lives, or whether it’s ready for AI. Komprise adds an independent data management layer on top of Dell PowerScale and ObjectScale: the Global Metadatabase indexes and enriches metadata across Dell storage and every other platform in the environment, KAPPA data services extract embedded metadata from PDFs, images, and other files, and AI Data Ingestion delivers only the curated, governed data that AI pipelines actually need. This is what turns Dell storage into AI-ready data, not just protected data.
Why do enterprises need an independent data management layer for AI on Dell storage?
Relying solely on what a single storage vendor provides creates blind spots: data that has moved across Dell PowerScale, ObjectScale, or other platforms over the years is rarely visible in one place, and vendor-native tiering often locks data into proprietary formats that are expensive to unwind later. An independent data management layer gives enterprises visibility and control across Dell and non-Dell storage alike, so cold data can be tiered to cut costs 70%+ while the data that matters for AI stays discoverable, classified, and delivered to AI pipelines in native, portable format. That combination of AI readiness and storage cost optimization is what differentiates Komprise from storage-vendor-native data management.
