Dell’s EqualLogic PS6500E virtualized architecture combines with dense SATA package for affordable, enterprise-capable tiered storage. Like the rest of the EqualLogic product family, it combines combines intelligence and automation with fault tolerance to provide simplified administration, rapid deployment, enterprise performance and reliability, and seamless scalability.

The PS6500E delivers the lowest cost-per-gigabyte in the EqualLogic family with up to 48 TB of SATA storage in a high-density 4U chassis. A PS Series SAN built with PS6500E arrays can scale up to 576 TB under a single, intuitive management interface. The PS6000 line features a re-designed controller with a fourth Gigabit Ethernet port that can deliver improved sequential read and write performance compared to previous generations.

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 — preventing 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.

Dell’s portfolio of EqualLogic arrays are designed to meet and exceed the rugged requirements of today’s data center.
