The EqualLogic PS6100E delivers high volume storage supported by the comprehensive feature set that is common across the range. The PS6100 revision sees the switch from SATA to NL-SAS and the introduction of 3TB drives, leading to a capacity of up to 72TB per appliance.
Technical Specifications
The PS6100E is based upon a 4U chassis with 24 slots for 3.5" NL-SAS drives. It can be purchased full or half-populated and deployed at multiple RAID levels (5/6/10/50) for performance/capacity optimisation. The new PS6100 series controllers incorporate a total of 8GB cache, each is able to run the array at full capacity. This means that a controller failure has no performance impact, with a failover time of around five 'pings'. All significant components in each appliance are duplicated to eliminate single points of failure.
Large Data Estates
The EqualLogic peer storage architecture can deliver an agile, scalable and tiered storage environment of enormous size. The PS6100E accommodates the capacity component of a large data estate. When deployed alongside faster, lower latency 10K SAS, 15K SAS and SSD based appliances a tiered storage pool can be created with sub-volume data movement and automatic load balancing a standard feature of the latest firmware revisions. Dell's fluid data technology ensures that expansion is both seamless and non-disruptive, leading to a reduction in scheduled and unplanned downtime.
