Dell EqualLogic PS6000XVS
The PS6000XVS reinforces the EqualLogic principles of intelligence, automation and scalable performance, with the addition of optimized data response for your applications through intelligent data tiering. Using a combination of low-latency SSD and performance-oriented SAS drives, the PS6000XVS automatically places data on the appropriate disk technology using historical I/O (input/output) and performance patterns and helps optimize data response for your applications, while maximizing efficiency. The ability to sense and intelligently respond to data requirements is a valuable feature for applications like virtual desktops. Virtual desktops can benefit from a low-latency SSD during desktop initialization (such as Bootstorm) and often require cost-effective, performance-oriented storage for user data files.
Exceptional Ease of Use
The PS6000XVS is an intelligent storage array that provides rapid installation, simple management and seamless expansion. All PS Series storage arrays include storage area network (SAN) configuration features and capabilities that can:- Sense network topology
- Automatically build RAID sets
- Conduct system health checks to help ensure that all components are fully functional
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 that is needed when it is needed — helping prevent both underutilization and overprovisioning. Using patented data movement technology, all PS Series arrays can work together to automatically manage data, load balance across system resources and expand to meet growing needs. The EqualLogic PS Series is designed to meet and exceed the rugged requirements of the data center. The PS6000XVS includes fault tolerance capabilities through fully redundant and hot-swappable components — dual controllers, standard dual-fan trays, dual power supplies and disk drives with hot spares. Self-tuning, write-back caches are battery-backed and mirrored across controllers for ultimate protection without compromising performance.
