PS6510E
The Dell™ EqualLogic™ PS6510E 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. The PS6510E delivers the lowest cost-per-gigabyte in the PS6010 Series with up
to 48 TB† of SATA storage in a high-density 4U chassis. A PS Series SAN built with PS6510E arrays can
scale up to 768 TB † under a single, intuitive management interface. The PS6510 line features a redesigned
2 (two) 10GbE port controller delivering up to 10x the bandwidth per port and 2.5x the bandwidth per array
compared to previous generations

EXCEPTIONAL EASE OF USE
The PS6510E is an intelligent storage array that is designed to provide rapid deployment, simple management and seamless
expansion. 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 the array is fully functional out of the box.
The EqualLogic PS6510E is designed to be cabled, 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 — helping to prevent 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 SAN line is designed to meet and exceed the rugged requirements of today’s data center. The PS6500E includes
fault tolerance capabilities through fully redundant and hot-swappable components — dual-controllers, three fan trays and
power supplies, and disk drives with hot spares.
ENTERPRISE DATA SERVICES WITHOUT ADDITIONAL COST
With built-in storage features, the PS6510E enables best practice storage for top tiered data centers, organizations producing
high-throughput workloads or latency sensitive business applications. The EqualLogic PS Series arrays include the following

FLEXIBILITY WITH LOW COST OF OWNERSHIP
The EqualLogic PS Series arrays represent a breakthrough in storage economics, from purchase and setup to operation and upgrades.
Unlike traditional SANs, the EqualLogic PS Series includes software and applications expected from an enterprise-level SAN at no
extra cost. The PS Series scales on-demand — and online — allowing storage growth without disrupting applications. As a result,
EqualLogic PS6510E 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.
