Equallogic PS Series arrays, with built-in tiering and pooling capabilities across a spectrum of performance and capacity options, make EqualLogic the ideal iSCSI SAN for your Oracle database solutions. Businesses not only require high performing storage to meet application service levels, but they also need affordable storage for Oracle data, as well as everyday applications such as E-mail and File & Print. EqualLogic iSCSI SANs deliver all of the benefits of shared network storage, with the affordability of using your existing IP network infrastructure. Each and every PS Series array includes – with no additional charges or license keys – all of the software features that are required for deploying enterprise class Oracle database applications.

Performance and Capacity Options for Oracle Applications
EqualLogic’s broad product portfolio offers a range of capacity and performance choices which is ideal for customers running Oracles databases and other applications. The PS Series enables you to store and manage more demanding applications on SAS drives with higher performing RAID types, while storing and managing less demanding on applications on more cost efficient SATA drives with capacity focused RAID types. When there is a need to move an application to higher performing storage, EqualLogic allows you to easily move that application online to a higher performing tier.

Breakthrough storage virtualization technology enables seamless scale-out Oracle solutions by simply adding additional PS Series arrays. Capacity and performance scales linearly, and performance is continuously optimized with automatic load balancing technology to ensure that Oracle users receive the best response times.

Ease of Deployment and Management
