EqualLogic's PS6500/PS6510 iSCSI SAN series helps drive a balance between cost and performance

The Dell™ EqualLogic™ PS6500 and PS6510 series models are virtualized iSCSI SAN arrays that combine intelligence and automation with fault tolerance to provide simplified administration, enterprise performance and reliability, and seamless scalability. They deliver low total cost of ownership with both excellent cost-per-GB and comprehensive SAN management and protection software.

The PS6500 and PS6510 series feature:

• Sub-volume auto-tiering with enhanced load balancing for optimized storage pool performance
• The ability to virtualize and consolidate multiple workloads in one storage array that scales non-disruptively beyond 2PB per group as your business grows
• Enhancements to Ethernet with Data Center Bridging which can provide deterministic performance and a converged SAN and LAN network, designed to greatly reduce or eliminate dropped packets (10GbE arrays only)
• Easy-to-use EqualLogic SAN Headquarters (SAN HQ) to provide a single pane for continuous resource monitoring and to facilitate online demand capacity expansion without disruption
• Host Integration Tools (HIT) for products our customers are already using: VMware, Microsoft, and Linux
