PS 6010X
The Dell EqualLogic PS6010X is a virtualized iSCSI SAN that combines intelligence and automation with fault tolerance to provide simplified administration, rapid deployment, enterprise performance and reliability, and seamless scalability. With 10,000 RPM SAS disk drives, the PS6010X array provides up to 9.6TB of storage for an excellent balance of cost-effective performance and good capacity. The PS6010 line features a redesigned 10GbE dual-port controller delivering up to 10x the bandwidth per port and 2.5x the bandwidth per array compared to previous generations2.
All PS Series storage arrays include SAN configuration features and capabilities that sense network connections, automatically build RAID sets, and conduct system health checks to help ensure that all components are fully functional. A PS6010X is designed to be installed, configured, and serving storage in less than one hour.
The EqualLogic SAN line is designed to meet and exceed the rugged requirements of the data center. The PS6010X includes fault tolerance capabilities through fully redundant and hot-swappable components — dual-10GbE controllers, dual fan trays, dual power supplies, and disk drives with hot spares.
With built-in storage features once available only to top-tier data centers, the PS6010X enables best practice storage for every size organization. Unlike traditional SANs, the EqualLogic PS Series includes software and applications expected from an enterprise-level SAN at no extra cost. The PS Series scales on-demand — and online — allowing storage growth without disrupting applications. As a result, EqualLogic PS6010X arrays provide exceptional flexibility at a low total cost of ownership.
