2 Dell EqualLogic PS6110 series product overview
The Dell EqualLogic PS6110 array is intelligent storage that is designed to provide simple management and
seamless expansion. EqualLogic delivers comprehensive end-to-end solutions to store and manage data
so that organizations can efficiently move the right data, to the right place, at the right time and for the
right cost. For virtualization environments in medium to large enterprises, the PS6110 Series is designed to
meet the current needs and be ready to grow as the demands of the virtual era increase.
The EqualLogic PS6110 Series, the second generation 10 GbE PS Series iSCSI array, features greater
flexibility, throughput, capacity, density and performance than prior PS Series 10 GbE arrays. The PS6110
provides a sequential performance of up to 133% higher than the PS6100 Series for bandwidth-intensive
applications such as streaming video and data warehousing. Performance may vary depending on the
workload and drive type. This performance variance was observed in Dell tests (run in January 2012) that
compared the PS6110 to the PS6100 arrays at RAID 50 with a 100% sequential read workload and 256KB
I/O size. The PS6110 is a 10 GbE iSCSI SAN array that allows organizations to leverage their existing 10 GbE
infrastructure with SPF+ or lower-cost 10GBASE-T.
The EqualLogic PS6110X storage arrays include a 2.5” SAS HDDs in 2U form factor. It is optimized for
critical data center applications with up to 21.6 TB
of capacity. Visit dell.com for feature and benefit details.
