PS6010/6510 10GbE Series
EqualLogic's new 10GbE iSCSI SAN now with 10X more storage performance for virtualization & high throughput business applications
The newest iSCSI arrays in the PS Series, the EqualLogic PS6010 and PS6510, add the power of 10GbE technology to the exceptional EqualLogic storage performance of previous generations. They deliver increased bandwidth performance for streaming workloads, business critical applications, virtualization, storage consolidation and high-volume data backup and data protection.
With SATA disk drives, the PS6010E delivers great cost-per-gigabyte and up to 16TB1 of high-capacity storage. 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 generations
With 10,000 RPM SAS disk drives, the PS6010X array provides up to 9.6TB1 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 generations
With 15,000 RPM SAS disk drives, the PS6010XV array provides high transactional and sequential performance with up to 9.6TB1 of storage 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 generations
EqualLogic PS6010S (SSD Drives) iSCSI SAN-- specification sheet
The PS6010S with Solid State Disk (SSD) drives provides exceptional random IOPS performance with very low latency. With either 8 or 16 SSD drives, and with new 100GB SSD drives up to 1.6TB1 per array, the PS6010S is designed as a cost-effective SSD option for the highest priority applications with moderate-sized data requirements. 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 generations
The Dell™ EqualLogic™ PS6510E 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. The PS6510E delivers the lowest cost-per-gigabyte in the PS6010 Series with up to 48TB1 of SATA storage in a high-density 4U chassis. A PS Series SAN built with PS6510E arrays can scale up to 768TB1 under a single, intuitive management interface. The PS6510 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 generations
With 10,000 RPM SAS disk drives, the PS6510X array provides up to 28.8TB1 of storage for an excellent balance of cost-effective performance and large capacity. A PS Series SAN built with PS6510X arrays can scale up to 460.8TB1 under a single, intuitive management interface. The PS6510 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 generations.
