Dell/Equallogic PS6000s

The Dell EqualLogic PS6000S is an enterprise-class iSCSI SAN array ideal for organizations looking for an affordable and easy means to bring the low latency performance benefits of SSD technology to your demanding applications. The PS6000S provides higher IOPS and as little as 1/3rd the latency of 15K rpm disk arrays for challenging applications, such as Oracle or SQL tempdb databases or virtual desktop implementations such as VMware View with linked clone technology.

With Solid State Drives (SSD) the PS6000S array provides low-latency, high-IOPS transactional performance. Scale out with other PS6000s arrays for additional SSD performance or with other PS6000 and PS4000 series arrays for a tiered SAN. Built-in software functionality includes SAN HQ Multi-SAN historical performance monitoring, automated load balancing, Microsoft and VMware application integration, SAN HQ Multi-SAN historical performance monitoring, snapshots and replication, multi-path I/O, consistency sets, and much more.

Seamlessly integrated with all other EqualLogic PS Series storage arrays, the PS6000S with SSD drives is the ideal choice for organizations looking for affordable access to low latency and high-I/O storage. And with online data movement between tiers, you gain flexibility to adjust without disruption as your business evolves.
