EqualLogic PS Series


In less than 60 minutes you can have intelligent networked storage that can be provisioned as needed - simply, seamlessly and without downtime.

Designed around the goal of simplifying IT by simplifying storage, the Dell EqualLogic PS Series is a family of intelligent, iSCSI-based storage arrays that fundamentally change storage economics from purchase and set up to operation and upgrades. All configurations are completely interoperable and upgradeable - performance and capacity scale without disrupting application or data availability. Dell EqualLogic storage will help you Get IT Faster, Run IT Better, and Grow IT Smarter with rapid set-up, automated management, easy incremental growth and scale-out performance.

Enterprise Reliability

Each EqualLogic PS Series array offers fully-redundant, hot-swappable components including controllers, fan trays, and power supplies. Support for RAID 5, 10 and 50, hot drive sparing, automatic failover and rebuild, and patent-pending proactive media error detection deliver 99.999% data availability.

Enterprise Performance

Starting with 300 MB/sec per modular array and proven scalability in IOPS for transactional workloads, the EqualLogic PS Series delivers unmatched performance in its class. Automatic load balancing seamlessly moves data across all active RAID sets, maximizing performance by intelligently optimizing network connections, cache, and controllers in real time.

Enterprise Data Services

The PS Series comes standard with a comprehensive set of software features including virtual volume management and application-aware space-efficient snapshots for instant backup and restore, volume cloning for rapid server provisioning, Auto-Replication, multi-path I/O support, and cluster support for comprehensive disaster recovery.

Choose the PS Series array that fits your requirements today with the confidence that you can scale to meet future needs - without a forklift upgrade or application downtime! For those already familiar with EqualLogic products, the Dell EqualLogic PS5000E replaces the EqualLogic PS50E, PS70E, PS100E, PS300E, and PS400E and adds a new 16TB model. Similarly, the PS5000XV succeeds the PS3900XV and the PS3800XV, and the PS5000X takes the place of the PS3700X. As with all previous EqualLogic models, the new PS5000 series arrays can be grouped with all other EqualLogic PS Series arrays.
