The Dell EqualLogic PS6000X is a virtualized iSCSI SAN that combines intelligence and automation with fault tolerance to provide simplified administration, rapid deployment, seamless scalability, enterprise performance and reliability. With 10K SAS Drives the PS6000X provides up to 9.6TB of storage for great balance of cost-effective performance and capacity.
The PS6000X includes SAN configuration features and capabilities that sense network connections, automatically build RAID sets, and conduct system health checks to help ensure that al components are fully functional. The PS6000X is based on a virtualized modular storage architecture that enables IT managers to purchase only the storage they need, when they need it – helping to prevent both under-utilization and over-provisioning. All 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 PS6000X is designed to meet and exceed the rugged requirements of the data center. It includes fault tolerance capabilities through fully redundant and hot-swappable components – standard dual-controllers, dual fan trays, dual power supplies and disk drives with hot spares. PS6000X dual controllers offer 4GB total of battery-backed memory that provides up to 72 hours of data protection.
