1Source: Yankee Group, EqualLogic Customer Satisfaction Survey, February 2008SEIRES The EqualLogic PS Series iSCSI SANs SThe Dell EqualLogic PS Series is a family of virtualized iSCSI storage arrays that combine intelligence P and automation with fault tolerance to provide simplified administration, rapid deployment, enterprise CIperformance and reliability, and seamless scalability. The PS Series high performance storage arrays Gdeliver a range of capacity points from 2 TB to 48 TB in either a 3U or 4U chassis. PS Series arrays can OLbe combined to create a virtualized SAN that scales up to 576 TB under a single management interface. LAEXCEPTIONAL EASE OF USE UThe PS Series intelligent storage arrays are designed to provide rapid deployment, simple management and QEseamless expansion. All PS Series storage arrays include SAN configuration features and capabilities that sense Lnetwork topology, automatically build RAID sets, and conduct system health checks to help ensure that all Lcomponents are fully functional. PS Series arrays are designed to be deployed, configured, and serving storage Ein less than one hour. D
MODULAR DESIGN WITH ENTERPRISE RELIABILITYEqualLogic PS Series arrays are based on a virtualized, modular storage architecture that enables IT managers to purchase only the storage they need, when they need it - preventing both underutilization and over-provisioning. Using innovative data movement technology, all EqualLogic PS Series arrays in a SAN work together to automatically manage data, load balance across all resources, and expand to meet growing storage needs. The Dell EqualLogic PS Series is designed to meet and exceed the rugged requirements of the data center. Each array comes standard with fault tolerance capabilities through fully redundant and hot-swappable components - dual-controllers, multiple fan trays and power supplies, and disk drives with hot spares.ENTERPRISE DATA SERVICES WITHOUT ADDITIONAL COSTThe PS Series has built-in storage features once relegated to top-tier data centers, enabling best practice storage for every size organization. Unlike traditional storage arrays, the EqualLogic PS Series arrays include a comprehensive set of enterprise data services and software features with no additional software licensing fees.FLEXIBILITY WITH LOW COST OF OWNERSHIPEqualLogic PS Series arrays represent a breakthrough in storage economics, from purchase and setup to operatio...
