Exceptional ease of use
All PS Series storage 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. The PS4000E is designed to
be installed, configured, and serving storage in less than one hour.
To improve enterprise-wide storage management, Dell has a family
of Data Management services to help you make the most of your
storage and backup environment. We offer services that allow
you to optimize, manage, implement and maintain your storage
infrastructure, helping to reduce the risk associated with ineffective
data management, and providing adequate data protection in a
cost effective manner.

Modular design with enterprise reliability
EqualLogic PS Series arrays are based on a virtualized modular
storage architecture that enables IT managers to purchase only
the storage they need, when they need it — to help prevent both
underutilization and over-provisioning. Using innovative data
movement technology, all EqualLogic PS Series arrays within a
SAN work together to automatically manage data, load balance
across all resources, and expand to meet growing storage needs.

The EqualLogic SAN line is designed to meet and exceed the
rugged requirements of the enterprise data center and remote
office. The PS4000E includes fault tolerance capabilities through
fully redundant and hot-swappable components—optional dual-
controllers, dual fan trays, dual power supplies, and disk drives with
hot spares.

Whether consolidating a direct-attached storage (DAS)
infrastructure, migrating data from an existing SAN or NAS system,
streamlining data protection processes, or simply adding storage
capacity, the EqualLogic PS Series from Dell offers a family of
proven, high-performance, self-managing storage arrays. The
PS4000 line is designed to meet the requirements of today’s SMB,
remote site, and departmental environments. The EqualLogic
PS6000 Series is fully compatible with the PS4000 line and is well
suited for large-scale, critical datacenter deployments.

PS4000 Series of virtualized iSCSI SAN arrays are designed to bring enterprise-class features, intelligence,
automation and reliability to remote or branch office, departmental and small-to-medium business (SMB) storage deployments.
The PS4000 Series addresses branch office and SMB storage needs with simplified administration, rapid deployment and an
affordable price, while providing a full set of enterprise-class data protection and management features, solid performance,
scalability and fault-tolerance. With up to 16 SATA disk drives per modular array, the PS4000E delivers outstanding capacity
value for an entry into midrange enterprise storage. To grow storage capacity and performance for remote office needs, two
PS4000 arrays can be combined in a SAN group. To further scale out the SAN, EqualLogic PS6000 arrays can be added
seamlessly without sacrificing the initial investment in PS4000 arrays.
