The Dell™ EqualLogic™ PS4110 Series of
virtualized 10GbE iSCSI SAN arrays are
designed to bring enterprise-class features,
intelligence, automation, and reliability to
remote or branch office departmental
storage deployments. The Dell EqualLogic
PS4110 Series iSCSI arrays are the first PS
Series 10GbE iSCSI storage arrays designed
for organizations with growing storage
needs.
With the same capacity, density and
performance as the
1GbE PS4100 Series, the PS4110 can
provide up to 177% higher sequential
performance than the PS4100 Series for
bandwidth-intensive applications such as
streaming video and data warehousing.1
The PS4110 is a dedicated 10GbE iSCSI SAN
array that allows you to leverage your
existing 10GbE infrastructure with SFP+ or
lower-cost 10GBASE-T. A dedicated management
port segments management traffic, allowing
for additional networking I/O for storage
traffic.
The PS4110 is an intelligent storage
array that is designed to provide simple
management and seamless expansion using Dell
Fluid Data™ architecture. All PS Series
storage arrays include SAN configuration
features and capabilities that sense network
connections, automatically build RAID sets,
and conduct system heath checks to help
ensure that all components are fully
functional.
Dell EqualLogic delivers comprehensive
end-to-end solutions to help you store and
manage data so you can efficiently move the
right data to the right place at the right
time for the right cost. The PS4110 is
inspired by EqualLogic users with
built-in advanced software features
enabling high-end storage to organizations
of all sizes with no additional licensing
fees. For example, PS Series arrays
automatically tier data to optimize pool
performance at the sub-volume level. The
PS4110 Series 10GbE arrays can use
Data Center Bridging (DCB) to improve
Ethernet quality of service and greatly
reduce dropped packets for an end-to-end
iSCSI over DCB solution, from host adapters
to iSCSI target.
The PS Series scales on-demand ¡X and
online ¡X allowing storage growth without
disrupting applications. As a result,
EqualLogic PS4110 arrays provide exceptional
flexibility at a low total cost of
ownership.
