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!

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.

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 PS Series Fimware V5.0 Released PDF Print E-mail

The next generation of EqualLogic firmware - V5.0 - was announced this week. Version five is part of EqualLogics commitment to ongoing development and enhancement of the platform and will be available to new and existing users as a free download within the next few days.

Key enhancements in this release include:

Administrative Roles - Multiple administrative roles have been added to the management GUI. Designated roles are currently: Group Admin, Read Only, Pool Admin and Volume Admin. Many features, including the association of Quota's with roles allow granular control to be applied to each account.

Thin Clones - Historically a cloned volume was allocated the same space as the source volume on the array. V5.0 sees the introduction of thin clones which utlise a mixture of snapshot and clone behaviour to achieve a 'thin provisioned' clone.

Enhanced File System Integration - More intelligent interaction between the storage and operating system - VMware/Windows/Linux - allowing many storage-intensive tasks to be passed to the SAN, thus reducing performance overheads associated with server based data operations.

Enhanced GUI - The EqualLogic GUI has been given a more familiar 'look and feel' with the introduction of tabbed views and a stacked administrative taskbar.

Support for Hybrid Arrays - With the imminent release of the new PS6000XVS and PS6010XVS hybrid SAS/SSD arrays V5.0 adds support for this model and automated tiering within that single appliance.

Firmware upgrade is an online operation so you don't necessarily need to interrupt production workloads to apply the new firmware.

We expect to see many new features as development continues. Watch this space.
