Flexibility with low cost of ownership

EqualLogic PS Series arrays represent a breakthrough in storage economics, from purchase and setup to operation and upgrades. In addition to the extensive included software, the PS Series scales easily, on-demand — and online — allowing storage growth without costly application disruptions or lengthy service engagements. As a result, EqualLogic arrays provide exceptional flexibility at a low total cost of ownership.

Whether consolidating direct-attached storage (DAS), migrating from an existing SAN or NAS system, improving data protection, or simply adding capacity, the EqualLogic PS Series deploys flexibly to address enterprise storage needs. As business needs change, an EqualLogic SAN can easily adapt. Its virtualized architecture allows simple redeployment of arrays, tiered storage, thin provisioning, online volume movement and much more, all without extra cost and cumbersome processes.

In less than 60 minutes you can have intelligent networked storage that can be provisioned as needed – simply, seamlessly and without downtime.

The PS 5000 Series storage arrays are designed to provide rapid deployment, simple management and seamless expansion. All PS Series storage arrays include SAN configuration features and capabilities that sense network topology, automatically build RAID sets, and conduct system health checks to help ensure that all components are fully functional. PS Series arrays are designed to be deployed, configured, and serving storage in less than one hour.

The PS5000 Series high performance storage arrays deliver a range of capacity points from 2 TB to 48 TB in either a 3U or 4U chassis. PS Series arrays can be combined to create a virtualized SAN that scales up to 576 TB under a single management interface.

Modular design with enterprise reliability

EqualLogic PS5000 Series arrays are based on a virtualized, modular storage architecture that enables your business to purchase only the storage you need, when you need it — preventing both underutilization and over-provisioning. Using innovative data movement technology, all EqualLogic PS Series arrays in a SAN work together to automatically manage data, load balance across all resources, and expand to meet growing storage needs.

The Dell EqualLogic PS Series is designed to meet and exceed the rugged requirements of your business. Each array comes standard with fault tolerance capabilities through fully redundant and hot-swappable components — dual-controllers, multiple fan trays and power supplies, and disk drives with hot spares.

Enterprise DATA services without additional cost

The PS Series has built-in storage features once relegated to top-tier data centres, enabling best practice storage for every size organization. Unlike traditional storage arrays, the EqualLogic PS Series arrays include a comprehensive set of enterprise data services and software features with no additional software licensing fees.
