Overview:

To simplifying networked storage, EqualLogic's PS Series are an iSCSI-based storage arrays with configurations that are completely interoperable and upgradeable. Performance and capacity scale allows tiered storage pools without disrupting application or data availability.

The newest model, PS5500E series deliver the lowest cost-per-gigabyte in the EqualLogic family with up-to 48TB of SATA storage in a high-density 4U chassis and enhanced data protection for virtual infrastructures.

These iSCSI IP SAN solutions can support SAS or SATA drives with seamless scalability from 2TB to over 100TB. They provide simplified administration, rapid deployment along with Enterprise Reliability and Enterprise Performance including Enterprise Data Services for disaster recovery and security. They support virtualization architecture and are perfect for virtual server infrastructures.

The PS Series leverages existing staff and Ethernet architecture helping to minimize investment and maximize ROI.

    Key Uses:

Enterprise Reliability:

Each PS Series array offers fully-redundant, hot-swappable components including controllers, fan trays, and power supplies for end-to-end reliability. Support for RAID 5, 10 and 50, hot drive sparing, automatic failover and rebuild, and patent-pending proactive media error detection deliver 99.999% data availability - or, 5 minutes of planned downtime per year.

Enterprise Performance:

Starting with 300 MB/sec and 60,000 IOPS and scaling to more than a million IOPS, the PS Series delivers unmatched performance in its class. Automatic load balancing seamlessly moves data across all active RAID sets, maximizing performance by intelligently optimizing network connections, cache, and controllers in real time.

Enterprise Data Services:

The PS Series comes standard with a comprehensive set of software features including virtual volume management and space-efficient snapshots for instant backup and restore, volume cloning for rapid server provisioning, Auto-Replication, multi-path I/O support, and cluster support for comprehensive disaster recovery. Built-in security with authorization, authentication and encryption.

PS Storage Stack - SAS/SATA Arrays:

A PS Storage Stack can combine multiple PS Series storage arrays into a single SAN. By segmenting the storage in your SAN, you can optimize your environment to meet your service level and budget requirements. Physically and logically combining arrays, a PS Storage Stack enables you to configure storage pools by RAID type, disk drive type, or both.
