Enterprise power with everyday simplicity

Experience the low-latency advantage of solid-state storage with the PS6110S 10GbE iSCSI array. It’s a Dell Storage solution with a virtualized scale-out architecture that delivers enhanced storage performance and reliability that is easy to manage.
- Leverage your existing infrastructure with 10GbE SFP+ or build out your network with new, cost-effective 10GBASE-T (both supported).
- Help eliminate downtime and performance penalties with smooth, incremental SAN expansion.
- Grow your virtual storage alongside your virtual server growth.
- Change hardware without disruption.
- Add or remove arrays at will, according to policy, age, application or business needs.
- Easily mix new disk or network technologies in the SAN.
- Move volumes (databases/VMs) online between any pool or disk resources.
- Avoid forklift upgrades or data-in-place migrations that cost time and money.
- Automatically balance loads across disks and multiple arrays in a pool.
- Help eliminate manual redistribution of capacity or application workloads (downtime and services costs).

Build new levels of performance for your enterprise storage needs using PS6110S arrays. With high-speed 400GB or 800GB solid-state drives (SSDs) and up to 19.2TB* of capacity, the PS6110S 10GbE iSCSI array offers the highest random-read IOPS performance and lowest latency in the EqualLogic PS6110 line.
