Exceptional Ease of Use
The PS6510E is an intelligent storage array that is designed to provide rapid deployment, simple management and seamless expansion.
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 the array is fully functional out of the box.
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 today’s data center. The PS6510E includes fault tolerance capabilities through fully redundant and hot-swappable components — dual-controllers, three fan trays and power supplies, and disk drives with hot spares.
ENTERPRISE DATA SERVICES WITHOUT ADDITIONAL COST
With built-in storage features, the PS6510E enables best practice storage for top tiered data centers, organizations producing high-throughput workloads or latency sensitive business applications.
