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.

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 PS6500X SUMO-X 10K SAS 4UDell EqualLogic has introduced an additional 'tier' to it's high density 48 drive PS6500 range with the launch of the PS6500X appliance.

The PS6500X or SUMO-X is based upon forty eight 600GB 10K SAS drives giving a RAW capacity of a little over 28TB.

As with all arrays in the PS Series, storage can be virtualised across the 48 disks deployed at RAID 10 (high performance) RAID 50 (performance/capacity mix) RAID 6 or RAID5. PS6500X arrays can be pooled with other PS6500 and PS5500 series appliances.

Based purely upon the number of spindles and the disk technology this should be the fastest spinning disk appliance across the entire PS series to date. We have seen excellent results from SATA based PS6500 series SUMO appliances deployed as straight storage or to host large virtual environments. The introduction of this uprated unit should help to drive larger and faster virtual estates whilst occupying less rackspace than a couple of those old 'creamware' servers which you've just decommissioned!

 

Dell EqualLogic PS6500X 10K SAS Sumo Rear Controllers PSU

Internals and externals are largely the same as the SATA based PS6500E unit. Dual controllers with 4 GBe interfaces provide resilience and excellent throughput. Three PSU's provide the necessary ooomph to spin those 48 10K serial attached SCSI disks. Disks, controllers and PSU's are all hot-swappable.

Interestingly it's not all about increased statistics - the PS6500X requires approximately 26% less power at peak load, and releases around 35% less BTU's per hour than three PS6000X arrays offering similar capacity. It takes up less rack space too!
