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.

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.

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!

Dell EqualLogic PS6100XV PDF Print E-mail

 

The PS6100XV appliance from EqualLogic is a performance optimised, enterprise iSCSI SAN appliance suitable for demanding database applications and medium to large virtual environments. The extensive feature set and fully inclusive licensing model delivers class leading value, demonstrated by Dell's dominance of the iSCSI SAN market.

The EqualLogic PS6100XV can be purchased as a space efficient 2U 24 drive chassis containing 2.5" 15K SAS disk, or as a higher capacity 4U 24 drive appliance containing 3.5" 15K SAS disk. This is directly influenced by the availability of high capacity, high performance 15K SAS disk in the smaller 2.5" form factor, available configurations and capacities will undoubtedly change over time as larger drives become available.

Application and Platform Integration

All arrays in the EqualLogic range are supplied with a selection of powerful tools to fully integrate with products including VMware, Microsoft Hyper-V, Exchange, SQL and more. These tools deliver common management interfaces (VMware VSphere 5) and extend the powerful snapshotting functionality to become 'application aware', which means that recovery from snapshots is more reliable and won't lead to tim e consuming database consistency checks etc.

Data Tiering and Management

The powerful tool set also includes tools to optimise storage efficiency such as thin provisioning, thin clones and intelligent pre-emptive rebuild of failing disks (to minimise the time that the array is running 'degraded' following a hard disk replacement). Dell EqualLogic hardware also benefits from new fluid data technology which delivers sub-volume auto tiering and automated load balancing within a storage pool. Dells acquisition of Ocarina in 2010 almost certainly means that deduplication is on the roadmap too.
