EqualLogic PS Series - The Best iSCSI SAN?

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 PS6100 Series - The Best iSCSI SAN Just Got Better!

Dell EqualLogic PS6100 series arrays deliver exceptional flexibility across multiple configurations. Fluid Data technology seemlessly tiers data between SSD, SAS and NL SAS disk to reduce latency and maximise performance. The 24-drive chassis delivers up to 72TB from a single 4U appliance.

EqualLogic PS6500E - Best Value iSCSI SAN

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 SAS / SATA drives into just 4U of rack space, up to 16 appliances can be combined into a storage pool delivering a massive 1.5PB of high performance space.

PS4100 Series Entry Level Arrays, Enterprise Class Features

Dell EqualLogic PS4100 series arrays provide datacenter class storage to small to medium sized businesses. Based upon the best selling PS6100 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

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?

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!

PS6000 Series iSCSI SAN Details Confirmed - Including SSD PDF Print E-mail

 

Dell EqualLogic PS6000 Series iSCSI SAN

Dell EqualLogic PS6000 Series iSCSI SAN.

Highlights of the  PS6000 Series models include:

 

  • Increased Gigabit Ethernet (GBe) Port Count - Now Four GBe Ports per controller (10GbE is on the roadmap)
  • Double the amount of Cache per controller
  • Introduction of Solid State Disk (SSD) with low latency, exceptional IOPs performance for high transactional workloads
  • Introduction of RAID6 also known as RAID DP
  • Intelligent snapshotting for Hyper-V
  • Backwards compatible with previous generations for seemless expansion of storage pool 

Sporting a smart new front bezel, previously seen on the PS5500E arrays, the 3U form factor and drive sizes remain largely the same as the PS5000 series, with the exception of the new SSD array.

PS6000 Series models include:

PS6000S - Solid State Disk SSD based iSCSI SAN offering class-leading throughput and low latency. Appliance may be fully, or half populated with 50GB SSD drives giving a total of 400 or 800GB of super fast storage

PS6000E - SATA based iSCSI SAN offering cost effective, high capacity storage. Ideal for smaller deployments or to add volume to a storage pool.

PS6000X  - 10K SAS based iSCSI SAN offering capacity / performance mix. Increased IOPs and substantial capacity

PS6000XV - 15K SAS based iSCSI SAN offering exceptional performance for high transactional workloads. Ideal for a busy production environment.

Further detail on technical specification and data sheets can be found on the manufacturers site HERE 

Details of pricing and availability will appear on this site as soon as they are available.
