Dell Storage PS xxx - arrays of the PS series of a corporate class.
On May 27, 2015 the Dell company announced release of a line of arrays of Dell Storage PS. They are focused on big data warehouses and have by 3.5 times the bigger capacity and high performance.
Array of Dell Storage PS6610, 2015
Arrays of Dell Storage PS6610 of a corporate class provide the highest rates among iSCSI disk arrays from Dell for medium business. These new two-controller arrays are improved and, in comparison with Dell EqualLogic PS6510 disk arrays, have higher (to 7 times) indicators of capacity and quality. It helps customers to store more data and quicker to work with them.
PS6610 series arrays with hybrid configurations (flash drives and hard drives) support applications, critical for business, and are ideal for customers with high requirements to data warehouses. They combine the speed of 10 Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) and high density of data storage: one array 5U contains to the polupetabayt of data. Thanks to considerable improvements in density, storage capacity and performance these arrays require less place, maintaining customers needs in storage of the growing amount of data.
The Dell Storage PS6610 system is developed for the organizations for which the developed means of data storage in the array of high density manageable and optimized for consolidation of different loadings are necessary: ERP applications, storage of e-mail and database of SQL type. The solution is focused on the organizations interested in the systems of archive storage and support of big data warehouses including medical records, financial data and records of video surveillance systems.
The family of arrays PS6610 with a high density of installation on the platform of microprogram providing 8.0 is ideal for customers with high requirements of large repositories of data.
