Automate Storage Tiering Simply and Efficiently With Dell EqualLogic PS Series Virtualized iSCSI SANs
Tiered Storage Offers Numerous Opportunities for Improved Efficiency
Storage tiering increases efficiency by matching business needs with the most appropriate storage media. By tiering storage, enterprise IT organizations can direct such high I/O (input/output) operations as online transaction processing (OLTP) or certain Web-facing applications to high-performance solid-state drive (SSD) and Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) arrays. Similarly, IT planners can direct more inert file or application data to more affordable serial ATA (SATA) storage area network (SAN) arrays.
Designed from the outset to offer high ease-of-use and low total cost of ownership (TCO), Dell™ EqualLogic™ PS Series virtualized Internet SCSI (iSCSI) SANs provide IT organizations with a number of features for automating tiered storage. These features extend the automation at the core of the PS Series design, while allowing customization and control of storage tiers to suit a wide range of business and organizational requirements.
