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!

The Dell EqualLogic PS4000E appliance brings enterprise iSCSI SAN performance and functionality within reach of small to medium sized organisations with a best price, best features model which is difficult to match.

It is also ideal for deployment in branch offices or at disaster recovery sites of larger businesses, thanks to full compatibility with other units in the PS series stack. For example you can replicate from a PS6000 series array to a PS4000 series unit, so the cost of moving from production to full blown DR has been reduced once again.

The PS4000E is based upon 7.2K SATA disk, which offers good performance and excellent capacity. A SATA based array will comfortably host a small VMware virtual environment, and as a true SAN will enable the advanced features of the VMware product including VMotion and Fault Tolerance.

EqualLogic's virtual storage model allows the SATA based PS4000e will deliver excellent IOPs performance because the data is effectively striped across all drives within the array. Five 9's (99.999%) reliability is ensured through the resilient controller design and RAID options which include 10, 50, 5 and 6 (Aka RAID DP).

The PS4000e includes all of the advanced features you'd expect from an EqualLogic appliance - application consistent snapshots, thin provisioning, replication and much more - at no extra cost.
