Dell PS6010XV User Manual

DELL EQUALLOGIC PS6010XV

The Dell™ EqualLogic™ PS6010XV is a virtualized iSCSI SAN that combines intelligence and automation with fault tolerance to provide simpliﬁed administration, rapid deployment, enterprise performance and reliability, and seamless scalability. With 15,000 RPM SAS disk drives, the PS6010XV array provides high transactional and sequential performance with up to 9.6 TB† of storage capacity. The PS6010 line features a redesigned 2 (two) 10GbE port controller delivering up to 10x the bandwidth per port and 2.5x the bandwidth per array compared to previous generations1.

EXCEPTIONAL EASE OF USE

The PS6010XV is an intelligent storage array that is designed to provide rapid installation, 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 all components are fully functional. A PS6010XV is designed to be installed, configured, and serving storage in less than one 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 PS6010X V includes fault tolerance capabilities through fully redundant and hot-swappable components — 10GbE dual-controllers, standard dual fan trays, dual power supplies, and disk drives with hot spares.

ENTERPRISE DATA SERVICES WITHOUT ADDITIONAL COST

FLEXIBILITY WITH LOW COST OF OWNERSHIP

The EqualLogic PS Series arrays represent a breakthrough in storage economics, from purchase and setup to operation and upgrades. Unlike traditional SANs, the EqualLogic PS Series includes software and applications expected from an enterpriselevel SAN at no extra cost. The PS Series scales on-demand — and online — allowing storage growth without disrupting applications. As a result, EqualLogic PS6010XV arrays provide exceptional flexibility at a low total cost of ownership.

Whether consolidating a direct-attached storage (DAS) infrastructure, migrating data from an existing SAN or NAS system, streamlining data protection processes, or simply adding storage capacity, the EqualLogic PS Series from Dell offers a family of proven, high-performance, self-managing storage arrays designed to meet the requirements of today’s critical datacenter environments.
