| Dell™ EqualLogic™ PS5500E is a virtualised Internet SCSI (iSCSI) storage area network (SAN) that is hugely scalable and highly dense. The PS5500E combines intelligence and automation with fault tolerance to provide simplified administration, rapid deployment, enterprise performance and reliability, and seamless scalability. The PS5500E is a storage array that provides virtual storage for virtual servers and is ideal for medium to large enterprises and virtualisation deployments.
The EqualLogic PS Series technology virtualises the entire SAN to simplify deployment and ongoing management and creates a scalable pool of storage that leverages all storage resources within the SAN. The PS Series is based on a virtualised modular storage architecture that scales performance with capacity that enables IT managers to meet the needs of growing virtualisation deployments and to purchase only the storage that is needed, when it is needed — preventing both underutilisation and overprovisioning. Using patented 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. They come complete with all available software and applications you expect from an enterprise-level SAN — at no additional software licensing cost. The PS Series virtualised iSCSI SAN enables cost-effective enterprise storage solutions for VMware® environments. Additional Resources
