image

The Dell EqualLogic PS Series is the industry’s leading iSCSI based enterprise SAN solution that offers an affordable alternative to traditional fibre channel storage systems. The PS Series virtual storage architecture enables exceptional performance, simple set up, automated management, multiple tiers of storage, on-demand scalability, and seamless interoperability with virtual infrastructure solutions.

EqualLogic PS6000 Series - SSD - 15K SAS - 10K SAS - SATA

Dell EqualLogic PS6000 series arrays offer enhanced connectivity and increased cache for class leading performance. The PS6000S appliance is the first to be based upon Solid State Disk (SSD) offering exceptional throughput and low latency for high transactional workloads.

The Dell EqualLogic PS6500 is a high-density virtualized storage array that can deliver a hugely scalable iSCSI SAN. The PS6500E or 'SUMO' appliance accomodates 48 X 1TB SATA drives into just 4U of rack space, up to 16 appliances can be combined into a storage pool delivering a massive 768TB of high performance space.

Dell EqualLogic PS4000 series arrays provide datacenter class storage to small to medium sized businesses and branch offices. Based upon the best selling PS6000 series arrays, the all inclusive licensing model ensures that there are no hidden costs - everything is included 'out of the box' to create a high performance, robust storage environment with a simple route to disaster recovery.

Virtualisation with VMware and EqualLogic

image

By combining VMware Infrastructure and Dell EqualLogic PS Series arrays customers are provided a solution that delivers improved infrastructure scalability and management, high availability, significant cost savings and comprehensive disaster recovery. The excellent relationship between EqualLogic and VMware means that PS Series arrays are always amongst the first to support new features and standards.

Are You Ready for the Bake Off?

image

We'd be lying if we told you that Dell EqualLogic was the only iSCSI SAN platform out there, but we're entirely comfortable telling you that it's the one you should choose. When you're ready for the 'bake-off' we'd love to show you why WE sell more EqualLogic arrays than all the other vendors arrays put together...

EqualLogic 10GbE - Here, Now and Faster than Fibre

image

For a long time Fibre Channel storage vendors boasted about higher bandwidth connectivity into their arrays. Old school fibre channel buyers thought that Gigabit Ethernet iSCSI might compromise storage performance. We knew that wasn't the case, but if you're looking for high bandwidth it doesn't get fatter than this! Four 10GbE connections per array = blazing fast iSCSI!

Dell EqualLogic PS Series Fimware V5.0 Released PDF Print E-mail

The next generation of EqualLogic firmware - V5.0 - was announced this week. Version five is part of EqualLogics commitment to ongoing development and enhancement of the platform and will be available to new and existing users as a free download within the next few days.

Key enhancements in this release include:

Administrative Roles - Multiple administrative roles have been added to the management GUI. Designated roles are currently: Group Admin, Read Only, Pool Admin and Volume Admin. Many features, including the association of Quota's with roles allow granular control to be applied to each account.

Thin Clones - Historically a cloned volume was allocated the same space as the source volume on the array. V5.0 sees the introduction of thin clones which utlise a mixture of snapshot and clone behaviour to achieve a 'thin provisioned' clone.

Enhanced File System Integration - More intelligent interaction between the storage and operating system - VMware/Windows/Linux - allowing many storage-intensive tasks to be passed to the SAN, thus reducing performance overheads associated with server based data operations.

Enhanced GUI - The EqualLogic GUI has been given a more familiar 'look and feel' with the introduction of tabbed views and a stacked administrative taskbar.

Support for Hybrid Arrays - With the imminent release of the new PS6000XVS and PS6010XVS hybrid SAS/SSD arrays V5.0 adds support for this model and automated tiering within that single appliance.

Firmware upgrade is an online operation so you don't necessarily need to interrupt production workloads to apply the new firmware.

We expect to see many new features as development continues. Watch this space.

 
PS6000XVS & PS6010XVS Mix SSD/SAS for Tiered Workloads PDF Print E-mail

Dell Equallogic PS6000XVS PS6010XVS SSD SATA

The PS6000XVS / PS6010XVS hybrid SSD / SAS Storage appliance will be available in August. List pricing starts at £34,100 for the PS6000XVS, increasing to £37,400 for the 10GBe PS6010XVS.

Designed to offer tiered storage in a single appliance the PS6000XVS and it's 10GBe counterpart the PS6010XVS will contain eight 100GB SSD drives, and eight 450GB 15K SAS drives giving a total of 4.4TB RAW capacity. Provisionally Dell's specification sheet only identifies 'Accelerated RAID 6' as a formatting option so formatted capacity will be confirmed at a later date. Other disk sizes may also become available.

The PS6000 Series XVS appliances are aimed squarely at workloads requiring tiered storage such as Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) implementations where multiple users share the same 'base', (boot OS source or core) image. That image can be placed on the low-latency, high-performance SSD tier to ensure maximum throughput, whilst users unique data can be placed on lower cost, capacity optimised SAS. Intelligent data placement and ongoing management - a standard feature across the PS Series - is an automated process to ensure that performance is optimised, delivering the best possible end-user experience.

EqualLogic PS6000S, PS6010S get 100GB SSD PDF Print E-mail

 

Capacity on the high speed EqualLogic PS6000S and PS6010S SSD arrays has effectively doubled following the addition of 100GB SSD drives to the portfolio.

Of course it's not all about capacity - EqualLogic SSD appliances are intended to add a low latency, high throughput tier to an existing storage pool to accomodate those high transactional workloads - however increased SSD drive capacity is sure to be well received.
