The Dell EqualLogic PS6100 Series is a family of iSCSI storage arrays with 24 drives, dual controllers and 1GbE networking. Each controller has 4GB of non-volatile memory, four 1000BASE-T interface ports and one dedicated 100BASE-TX management port. Controllers, fan trays, power supplies and disk drives with hot spares are hot-swappable, and vertical port sharing is included.
The series covers five configurations. The PS6100E holds 24 hot-swappable 3.5-inch 7,200 rpm nearline SAS drives of 1TB to 4TB, for up to 96TB. The PS6100X holds 24 2.5-inch 10,000 rpm SAS drives of 600GB, 900GB or 1.2TB, for up to 28.8TB. The PS6100S holds 24 2.5-inch SSDs of 400GB or 800GB, for up to 19.2TB. The PS6100XS combines 7 SSDs with 17 2.5-inch 10,000 rpm SAS drives, for up to 26TB. The PS6100XV holds 24 2.5-inch 15,000 rpm SAS drives of 300GB or 600GB, for up to 14.4TB.
All models except the PS6100E are 2U arrays, 8.68 cm high, 44.63 cm wide and 54.1 cm deep, weighing 24.1 kg with dual 700 W power supplies. The 4U PS6100E is 17.5 cm high and 57.5 cm deep, weighs 44.45 kg and has dual 1,080 W power supplies. ReadyRails II static rails mount the arrays in 4-post racks.
Any standards-compliant iSCSI initiator works as host, with RAID 5, RAID 6, RAID 10 and RAID 50 (the PS6100XS is accelerated for RAID 6). An array can be combined online with other PS Series arrays in one SAN group of up to 16 members. Host operating systems include Microsoft Windows Server with Hyper-V, VMware ESX Server, Red Hat Enterprise Linux, SUSE Linux Enterprise, Oracle Linux and Citrix XenServer. Dell EqualLogic PS6100 arrays are managed with Group Manager and SAN Headquarters.
Another Dell storage array is the ME4012 Dell PowerVault 12-bay storage array, and further arrays, enclosures and controllers are collected in Dell storage systems.
