The Dell
EqualLogic
family of iSCSI SANs from Dell is fundamentally changing the way enterprises think about
purchasing and managing storage. Built on a virtualized peer storage architecture, the EqualLogic PS Series simplifies the
deployment and administration of consolidated storage environments. Its all-inclusive, intelligent feature set streamlines
purchasing, delivers rapid SAN deployment, easy storage management, comprehensive data protection, enterprise-class
performance and reliability, and seamless pay-as-you grow expansion. All EqualLogic PS Series arrays are completely
interoperable, and can be mixed and matched to build tiered storage within a single SAN or across SAN groups.
Unlike traditional SANs, the EqualLogic PS Series of arrays come with the software and applications expected from an
enterprise-level SAN, at no additional charge — there is no additional software to install or service costs to incur to
initiate the data management and protection features for this enterprise-class SAN.
