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!

The EqualLogic PS4100E offers high volume, feature-rich storage at a competitive price.

Disaster Recovery

It is ideal for deployment as a standalone appliance in environments where capacity is more important - such as a branch office or as an offsite disaster recovery target. They are also ideal for the 'capacity' element of a tiered storage pool in conjunction with other EqualLogic storage arrays. In the latter scenario Dell's fluid data technology enables sub-volume auto tiering, enhanced load balancing and seamless expansion.

Technical Specifications

The PS4100E features dual controllers with a total of 8GB cache, two GbE ethernet ports per controller and up to 12 3.5" 7.2K NL-SAS drives. Storage is virtualised across all available drives in the array (usually 10 after two hot spares are allocated) with a choice of RAID 5/6/10/50 deployment allowing performance/capacity optimisation.

RAW capacities range from 6TB using 500GB disks through to 36TB using twelve 3TB 3.5" NL-SAS drives.

Return on Investment

The long standing cross-generation compatibility model from EqualLogic means that the PS4100E can be safely deployed alongside arrays of different size/type/generation, delivering an extended life cycle and class-leading return on investment (ROI) over time.
