"Equallogic's PS3800XV iSCSI array represents the highly evolved state of iSCSI SAN arrays with panache. Fully featured and blazingly fast, this SAS-based array will easily find a home in infrastructures of any size, although the cost will keep it out of smaller shops. For infrastructures that don't need 2Gb or 4Gb Fibre Channel, and most don't, iSCSI is the way to go, and EqualLogic is showing us all how it's done."
