Intelligent Data Tiering for Small to Medium Enterprise Environments
Dell EqualLogic PS6510 iSCSI SAN arrays perform best in virtualized small to medium enterprise environments for applications including capacity-intensive, business critical and tiered storage applications as well asstreaming media, data backups and data protection. One major advantage that the Dell EqualLogic PS6510 series provides these environments is data tiering. This allows PS6510 storage arrays to automatic place data on the appropriate disk technology by using historical I/O and performance patterns to make an intelligent decision.
Boost Your Bandwidth up to 10x Per-Port, and 2.5x Per-Array
The Dell EqualLogic PS6510 storage array series provides exceptional bandwidth because it features a newly redesigned 2 10GbE port controller, which allows for the 10x per-port and 2.5x per-array increases in bandwidth. Other design improvements that increase the performance of PS650 iSCSI SANs over previous generations of EqualLogic arrays include a cable reduction of up to 50%.
Why the EqualLogic PS6510 iSCSI SAN is Right for You:
- Supports 10GbE connectivity
- Can scale up to 1.2 PB in a single SAN group
- Combined SAS and SATA array option
- Improved bandwidth, 10x per port and 2.5x per array
