Building on the industry-leading capabilities of the Dell EqualLogic PS Series line, the Dell Storage PS6610 Series storage solution takes you to the next level by providing superior density and improved performance compared to the previous generation. This series can scale out to over 8PB of capacity, in a group of 16 arrays, while using less space in your data center.
More performance in less space
The Dell Storage PS6610 Series combines the power of 10GbE and dense storage, offering up to 3.5 times more capacity and up to 7 times increased performance compared to the previous generation. The dense design of the PS6610 easily fits in your data center while offering over a half a petabyte of capacity in one array. With next-generation controllers and advanced software, the PS6610 offers 16 times more memory than previous generation, and up to 50% space savings with compression of snapshots and replicas. The Dell Storage PS6610 is ideal for archival/secondary storage, mixed workload consolidation and video surveillance solutions.
Scale your solution to meet your storage needs
The Dell Storage PS6610 solution is designed to meet growing capacity requirements without the administrative overhead. PS Series arrays include SAN configuration features and capabilities that sense network connections, automatically build RAID sets, and conduct system health checks to help ensure that all components are fully functional. Based on a virtualized modular storage architecture — you purchase only the storage you need, when you need it — the PS Series arrays help prevent both underuse and over-provisioning in the data center. All PS Series arrays in a SAN work together to automatically manage data, load balance across all resources, and expand to meet your growing storage needs. With the addition of EqualLogic FS Series appliances, you can effectively store both block and file data in a unified storage solution. Plus, the Dell EqualLogic PS Series storage solution has the lowest total cost of ownership over a five period compared to two comparable SAN arrays in the market.
