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!

image

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

image

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!

The PS5000E series iSCSI SAN arrays are based upon either Eight or Sixteen 7.2K SATA2 disk drives, with total raw capacity ranging from 2 to 16TB. All drives within the array must be the same size, data is striped across all drives within the array to achieve the optimum combination of performance and capacity. Whilst you may not necessarily consider SATA disk for deployment as direct attached storage within servers, it is important to remember that the way in which disks are utilised within a PS Series array is fundamentally different and an exceptional level of performance and reliability can be achieved.

The RAID level within the appliance can be RAID 10 (high performance, reduced capacity) RAID 50 (good performance, good capacity) or RAID 5 (capacity optimised). All drives are subject to an extended burn-in process before sale, leading to a reduced DOA failure rate. RAID 6 (double parity) support has also been introduced with a recent firmware update.

As with all PS Series arrays, the PS5000E benefits from the full hardware redundancy and the fully inclusive licensing model - see PS Series Overvew for further details.

Numerous real-world capacity planning exercises and production deployments have demonstrated to us that the PS5000E array can comfortably and reliably support multi-server physical and virtual environments.
