EqualLogic Outperforms Competitive Storage Area Networks (SANs) Under Heavily Virtualized Exchange 2010 Workloads
The claims of storage vendors vary widely, and this is certainly the case among Internet SCSI (iSCSI) vendors, where architectures and capabilities can be very different. Some iSCSI vendors bring complex (perhaps overly complex) multinode failover mechanisms and more to the table, complicating head-to-head comparisons.
Dell believes that its EqualLogic™ storage family challenges this trend. EqualLogic storage area network (SAN) solutions leverage tried and true internal capabilities to deliver distinctly better ease of use and performance without requiring convoluted or time-consuming configuration. Dell claims to have integrated these proven capabilities into a comprehensive storage infrastructure — based on its elastic pool technology — that also delivers more scalability than its competitors.
