Dell EqualLogiс PS6000XVS

Dell EqualLogic PS6000XVS virtualized Internet SCSI (iSCSI) storage arrays are ideal for optimizing responsiveness of applications through intelligent data tiering within the array, across a low-latency solid-state drive (SSD) and a performance-sensitive 15,000 rpm serial attached SCSI (SAS) hard disk.

 

Optimize performance of tiered application workloads, such as virtual desktops or applications delivered as a service.
Deliver excellent user responsiveness for tiered workloads with the help of intelligent data placement across an SSD and a 15,000 rpm SAS hard disk.
Balance cost and performance with a combination of an SSD and 15,000 rpm SAS hard disk in a single array.
