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?

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!

EqualLogic 10GbE PS6010 and PS6510 Now Available PDF Print E-mail

Dell EqualLogic PS6010 10GbE iSCSI SAN

The much anticipated 10GbE iSCSI SAN storage appliances from Dell EqualLogic are now available.

Two new generations - the 16-Drive PS6010 series and the 48-drive PS6510 series have been added to the catalogue.  Naming conventions remain the same - PS6010E is SATA, PS6010X is 10K SAS, PS6010XV is 15K SAS and so on.

The key change is the new controllers, each featuring two 10GbE SFP+ connections. Available with new arrays, or as a component upgrade to existing users, the 10GbE controllers deliver up to ten times the bandwidth per port and up to two and a half times more bandwidth per array.

Importantly - the new 10GbE arrays are compatible with existing EqualLogic models so they will comfortably co-exist in a pool with your current appliances - in line with the extended lifecyle and ROI (Return on Investment) we have come to expect from the platform.

In all other respects the specification of the platform remains the same - same drive capacities and same disk technologies - just more bandwidth.

Pricing should be available shortly - please visit my EqualLogic Price List Download page for more information.

The arrays offer a direct response to the 'won't I get more bandwidth with Fibre Channel' questions raised by many old school SAN users. Now anyone who has studied EqualLogic iSCSI SAN in any great detail will know that network bandwith on the GbE arrays has never been an issue, but if you're looking for massive throughput, supported by a scale out model then look no further.
