PS 6100XV
Dell’s EqualLogic PS6100XV is an enterprise-class iSCSI SAN array ideal for organizations looking for the highest-performance tier of hard disk drive (HDD) storage for business-critical applications. The EqualLogic peer storage architecture delivers a self-optimizing SAN that is extremely simple to manage and has an all-inclusive software suite to help reduce Total Cost of Ownership (TCO). The PS6100XV uses 15,000 RPM Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) 2.5” disk drives to deliver high performance for databases and online transaction processing applications.
With a 24 drive chassis full of 146 GB SAS drives, the PS6100X delivers a 3.5TB iSCSI storage array in a 2/U rack, providing optimal IOPS/U. Built on fully-redundant, hot-swappable enterprise hardware and a front-loading rack, drive changes can be made without disruption.
Scale out capacity and performance by adding additional arrays for a virtualized iSCSI SAN. Built-in software functionality includes SAN HeadQuarters (SAN HQ) Multi-SAN historical performance monitoring, automated load balancing, Microsoft and VMware application integration, snapshots and replication, multi-path I/O, consistency sets, and much more.
Seamlessly integrated with all other EqualLogic PS Series storage arrays, the PS6100X expands your ability to optimize performance and capacity using storage pools and tiers matched to application demands. And with online data movement between tiers, you gain flexibility to adjust without disruption as your business evolves.
