7 Summary

The Dell EqualLogic FS7500 can be deployed as part of a new installation or into an existing
EqualLogic PS Series iSCSI SAN. When deploying into an existing SAN, administrators should monitor
the existing SAN to understand the availability of not only data storage capacity, but also of I/O
capacity. The data presented in this paper can then be used to help determine if there is a need for
additional storage arrays and to help guide the deployment of the FS7500. Depending on the type of
I/O from network clients, the use of the FS7500 may even enable an increase in overall performance
capacity for the SAN through caching of network client requests and thus reducing the number of I/Os
that must be completed by the storage arrays.
