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 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 Dell EqualLogic PS6500 'SUMO' appliance has always represented excellent value. The latest price list confirms a reduction of up to £10K per unit. This means that the 48-drive appliance has become a real alternative to multiple 16-drive arrays, particularly if massive scale is what you need in the longer term.
