DELL EQUALLOGIC
PS6000S
The Dell™ EqualLogic™ PS6000S 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 first EqualLogic array with Solid State Disk (SSD) drives, the
PS6000S array provides exceptional random IOPS performance with very low latency. With either 8 or
16 SSD drives, and up to 1.6 TB† per array, the PS6000S is designed as a cost-eective SSD option for
the highest priority applications with moderate-sized data stores.
EXCEPTIONAL EASE OF USE
The PS6000S is an intelligent storage array that is designed to provide rapid installation, simple management, and seamless
expansion. All PS Series storage arrays include SAN configuration features and capabilities that sense network connections,
automatically build RAID sets, and conduct system health checks to help ensure that all components are fully functional.
A PS6000S is designed to be installed, configured, and serving storage in less than one hour.
MODULAR DESIGN WITH ENTERPRISE RELIABILITY
EqualLogic PS Series arrays are 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 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 EqualLogic SAN line is designed to meet and exceed the rugged requirements of the data center. The PS6000S includes
fault tolerance capabilities through fully redundant and hot-swappable components — standard dual-controllers, dual fan
trays, dual power supplies, and robust Solid State Disk drives with hot spares.
ENTERPRISE DATA SERVICES WITHOUT ADDITIONAL COST
With built-in storage features once available only to top-tier data centers, the PS6000S enables best practice storage for every
size organization. EqualLogic PS Series arrays include the following enterprise data services and software features with no
additional software licensing fees:

FLEXIBILITY WITH LOW COST OF OWNERSHIP
The EqualLogic PS Series arrays represent a breakthrough in storage economics, from purchase and setup to operation and
upgrades. Unlike traditional SANs, the EqualLogic PS Series includes software and applications expected from an enterprise-
level SAN at no extra cost. The PS Series scales on-demand — and online — allowing storage growth without disrupting
applications. As a result, EqualLogic PS6000S arrays provide exceptional flexibility at a low total cost of ownership.
Whether consolidating a direct-attached storage (DAS) infrastructure, migrating data from an existing SAN or NAS
system, streamlining data protection processes, or simply adding storage capacity, the EqualLogic PS Series from
Dell offers a family of proven, high-performance, self-managing storage arrays designed to meet the requirements of
today’s critical datacenter environments.
