Brampton, ON – February 5, 2010: Open Storage Solutions® Inc., a leader in providing data storage solutions in Canada and the US, announced today that it has started to take orders and ship The Dell™ EqualLogic™ PS6510 SAN storage which is the newest series of EqualLogic iSCSI SAN storage supporting 10GbE technology. The PS6510 series arrays combine intelligence and automation with fault tolerance to provide simplified administration, rapid deployment, enterprise performance and reliability, and seamless scalability. The PS6510 arrays are ideal for those who need higher bandwidth for business applications such as Oracle and SQL, streaming video and other bandwidth-heavy workloads.
“We are very excited about the new 6510 series,” said Andrew Betterton, President and CEO of Open Storage Solutions. “The obvious benefit of the new arrays is that they deliver a very low cost-per-gigabyte and scale up to 48 TB storage in a high-density 4U chassis. A secondary benefit is that because of our direct relationship with Dell and our extensive commitment to our Dell certification, our support organization can have this array up and running with a minimum of disruption.” Open Storage Solutions is Dell EA certified having met the requirements and having completed extensive training, not only on Dell server and storage products specialization, but on VMware virtualization, Hyper-V training, business continuity (BC) and disaster recovery (DR). Dell Enterprise Architecture certification is the highest level of certification Dell offers.
