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.
