EXCEPTIONAL EASE OF USE

The PS6010E is an intelligent storage array that provides rapid installation, simple management, and seamless expansion.
All PS Series storage arrays include SAN configuration features and capabilities that sense network topology, automatically build RAID sets, and conduct system health checks to help ensure that all components are fully functional.
A PS6010E can often be installed, configured and serving storage in less than 1 hour.
MODULAR DESIGN WITH ENTERPRISE RELIABILITY

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 — helping to prevent 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.

The EqualLogic SAN line is designed to meet and exceed the rugged requirements of the data center. The PS6010E includes fault tolerance capabilities through fully redundant and hot-swappable components — standard dual-10GbE controllers, dual fan trays, dual power supplies, and robust Solid State Disk drives with hot spares.
