DELL EQUALLOGIC
PS5000X
Dell EqualLogic PS5000X is a virtualized iSCSI SAN that combines intelligence and automation with fault
tolerance to provide simplified administration, rapid deployment, enterprise performance and reliability,
and seamless scalability. With 10,000 RPM SAS disk drives, the PS5000X array provides outstanding
performance with up to 6.4 TB of storage capacity.
EXCEPTIONAL EASE OF USE
The PS5000X is an intelligent storage array that is designed to provide rapid installation, simple management, and seamless
expansion. All PS Series storage arrays include SAN configuration features and capabilities that sense network topology,
automatically build RAID sets, and conduct system health checks to help ensure that all components are fully functional.
A PS5000X is designed to be installed, configured, and serving storage in less than one hour.
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 — preventing both underutilization and over-provisioning. Using innovative data
movement technology, all EqualLogic PS Series arrays in a SAN work together to automatically manage data, load balance
across all resources, and expand to meet growing storage needs.
The EqualLogic PS5000X Series is designed to meet and exceed the rugged requirements of the data center. The PS5000X
includes fault tolerance capabilities through fully redundant and hot-swappable components — dual-controllers, standard dual
fan trays, dual power supplies, and disk drives with hot spares.
ENTERPRISE DATA SERVICES WITHOUT ADDITIONAL COST
The PS5000X has built-in storage features once relegated to top-tier data centers, enabling best practice storage for every
size organization. EqualLogic PS Series arrays include the following enterprise data services and software features with no
additional software licensing fees:

expected from an enterprise-level SAN. The PS Series scales on-demand — and online — allowing storage growth
without disrupting applications. As a result, EqualLogic PS5000X arrays provide exceptional flexibility at a low total cost
of ownership.
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 designed to meet the requirements of
today’s critical datacenter environments.
