The EqualLogic PS6100S utilises twenty four SSD drives to deliver up to 9.6TB of high performance, very low latency storage in a single appliance. The introduction of 200GB and 400GB SSD drives allows a much larger SSD storage pool to be created (in comparison to the earlier PS6000S device which utilised sixteen 50GB/100GB drives). This means that an organisation could conceivably re-locate their entire storage estate to SSD and enjoy the benefits that brings.
High Transactional Workloads
SSD has traditionally been deployed sparingly for use with busy databases (Oracle / SQL) and high transactional workloads. This appliance could be deployed standalone, or for larger data estates as part of a tiered storage pool alongside other PS6100 / PS4100 appliances. Fluid data technology will enable busy or 'hot' blocks to automatically migrate to the fastest, low latency SSD tiers whilst quieter or archive data moves to larger, cheaper disk.
Virtual Desktops VDI
The EqualLogic PS6100S is also an ideal appliance to host shared virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) images, reducing boot-time delays and enabling larger virtual desktop estates.
