The Dell EqualLogic PS4000 Series of virtualized iSCSI SAN arrays are designed to bring enterprise-class features, intelligence, automation and reliability to remote or branch office, departmental and small-to-medium business (SMB) storage deployments.
The PS4000 Series addresses branch office and SMB storage needs with simplified administration, rapid deployment and an affordable price, while providing a full set of enterprise-class data protection and management features, solid performance, scalability and fault-tolerance. With up to 16 SATA disk drives per modular array, the PS4000E delivers outstanding capacity value for an entry into midrange enterprise storage. To grow storage capacity and performance for remote office needs, two PS4000 arrays can be combined in a SAN group. To further scale out the SAN, EqualLogic PS6000 arrays can be added seamlessly without sacrificing the initial investment in PS4000 arrays.
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. The PS4000E is designed to be installed, configured, and serving storage in less than one hour. To improve enterprise-wide storage management, the EqualLogic SAN HeadQuarters software tool provides centralized performance and event monitoring of EqualLogic SANs across multiple sites, for instance PS4000 deployments at branch offices and PS6000 deployments in corporate data centers.
Offering built-in storage features previously available only to top-tier data centers, the PS4000E enables best-practice storage for remote, branch-office and departmental deployments. The EqualLogic PS Series arrays include the following enterprise data services and software features with no additional software licensing fees: SAN HeadQuarters Multi-SAN Historical Performance Monitoring, Auto-Replication, RAID Load Balancing, Complete SAN Virtualization, RAID Load Balancing, Storage Pools, Thin Provisioning and much
more.
