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 PS4000X 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 PS4000X includes fault tolerance capabilities through fully redundant and hot-swappable components—standard dual-controllers, dual fan trays, dual power supplies, and disk drives with hot spares.

Feature-rich software portfolio without additional cost

With built-in storage features once available only to top-tier data centers, the PS4000X enables best practice storage for remote

or branch office and departmental deployments. The EqualLogic PS Series arrays include the following software with no additional software licensing fees:
