Hey Veidit, we don’t have a product exactly like that today, but we have one targeted for mid next year. The EqualLogic PS6000 solution would be perfect for the iSCSI portion of the task. With its peer scaling capability, you would be able to grow the iSCSI capacity as he needs , while not decreasing the quality of service for performance. There are a number of NAS gateway solutions (i.e. NX3000) out there that could be paired with EqualLogic to build a solution for the environment today.

Ah yes I am comparing Netapp, EqualLogic and Sun Open Storage right now.

The management GUI for EqualLogic I webbased I guess? Since most techs will be using macs.

Yes, The GUI is web-based, and not to sound like too much of a biased vendor, but personally I find it very useful/intuitive. The EqualLogic guys (both before & after Dell acquisition) have done a great job of getting the word out through webcasts & demos, available here: http://www.equallogic.com/resourcecenter/democenter.aspx (Note on 9/22 there is a live demo of the EqualLogic PS Series) There are ' on Demand' webcasts here: http://www.equallogic.com/resourcecenter/eventcenter.aspx

Also, I recorded a demo integrating a PS6000 SSD into our existing group here, which does show the interface, although I don't focus on it:

Good luck in your decision!

Just what I wanted to know, will talk to my dellrep for a demo and planning for our future investment.
