FLEXIBILITY AT THE LOW COST OF POSSESSION

The EqualLogic arrays of the PS series have unsurpassed economic advantages at all stages — from acquisition and control before operation and updating. Unlike traditional networks of data storage the EqualLogic arrays of the PS series are delivered with the PO set and appendices, necessary for management of networks of data storage of corporate level, without additional payment.

Systems of the PS series support scaling function on demand without disconnection from a network that allows to increase capacity without violation of operation of applications. As a result the EqualLogic PS6010E arrays provide unsurpassed flexibility at the low cumulative cost of possession.

The automated EqualLogic arrays of the PS series of Dell corporation which perfectly proved highly productive meet the most strict requirements to modern networks of crucial data-processing centers and allow to solve the most different problems: from consolidation of infrastructure on the basis of directly connected stores (DAS) before data migration from the existing networks or devices of storage, optimization of processes of data protection or simple building of resources of storage.
