Dell EqualLogic PS4100 Series iSCSI Arrays

The Dell™ EqualLogic™ PS4100 series is designed to deliver data center class IT solutions, such as storage consolidation and virtualization, to remote office/branch office (RO/BO) and small-to-medium business storage deployments at an affordable entry point.

The Dell EqualLogic PS4100 series provides rapid deployment, enterprise-class data protection, solid performance, and fault-tolerance — all while giving you simple management and seamless expansion. To grow storage capacity and performance for remote office needs, two PS4100 arrays can be combined in a SAN group. To further scale out the SAN, EqualLogic PS6100 arrays can be added seamlessly without sacrificing the initial investment in PS4100 arrays.
