Release Type	Version	CodeName	Obs
GA code / RTM	1.0.0.0.5.109	Smuttynose
Product Description The PowerStoreOS Service Pack 1 (SP1) v1.0.1.0.5.002 is a bug fix release for all the PowerStore platforms:  PowerStore 1000, PowerStore 3000, PowerStore 5000, PowerStore 7000, and PowerStore 9000. This is a customer installable nondisruptive upgrade bundle located in the Dell Digital Locker (DDL).   Dell Digital Locker requires a login account with proper authorization for access to the code. PowerStore is the Next Generation Midrange solution that will deliver greater operational efficiency to customers. While the midrange market is growing, it is also undergoing significant shifts along two dimensions:  First, a new wave of storage media with Non-Volatile Memory technologies is promising to disrupt the price-performance economics like how Flash disrupted HDDs. Second, users are increasingly adopting alternate consumption models such as hyper-converged and SDS for certain use cases to achieve improved operational efficiency and scale. PowerStore is designed to take advantage of the performance and economics of the next wave of storage media.  At its core, PowerStore is a highly optimized I/O stack with inline data services (deduplication, & compression) integrated data protection, and flexible scale-up/down and scale-out capabilities that will deliver industry leading economics, simplicity, and predictable performance.  Additionally, it is built to cater to the multiple consumption models desired by the market.  It can be deployed as a purpose-built appliance that serves storage to external applications (via network storage protocols - FC, iSCSI, SMB, NFS) and support embedded applications running within the appliance. PowerStore will incorporate Software-defined NAS capabilities called SDNAS. SDNAS leverages the UFS64 File System which existing Midrange customers are already familiar with.
