The EqualLogic™ PS Series Architecture is a breakthrough in the process of buying, managing and growing storage area network (SAN). PS Series arrays provide affordable, self-managing storage solutions that use Internet SCSI (iSCSI), Serial ATA and Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) technologies with patented PS Series intelligent automation. This helps to dramatically reduce storage complexity and operating costs for businesses in need of consolidated storage.
By allowing arrays to work collaboratively in PS Series groups and by automating time-consuming manual tasks, PS Series Architecture offers a fundamental change in SAN implementation and operation. The highly virtualized PS Series Architecture is designed to significantly lower the cost of consolidated storage without a loss of capabilities. The result is a full-featured, self-managing SAN that includes dynamic load balancing, hot swapping, hardware redundancy, snapshots and volume replication.
Storage acquisitions are driven by current application needs, not a prediction of future needs. The PS Series Architecture represents a dramatic advancement in storage economics, from purchase and set-up through operation and upgrades. By eliminating the barriers to adopting consolidated storage — that is, nonstandard and expensive hardware, complex technology and high staff skill requirements — the PS Series Architecture provides storage solutions that can quickly grow from terabytes to hundreds of terabytes, using existing resources and familiar skills.
