Dell EqualLogic SAN Review: 5 Reasons I Trust It

I’ve used Dell EqualLogic PS Series storage for several years now. I’ve come to trust it completely, and its reliability lets me run a very relaxed shop. Here’s why I recommend it.

  1. Backward compatibility. All EqualLogic arrays work together, old and new.
  2. Easy replication. Setting up replication between arrays is a snap.
  3. Automatic load balancing. Mix and match different drive arrays in a group and the data levels itself out across them. You can’t beat that.
  4. Dual controllers in every array. It’s not cheap, but the redundancy and scalability are outstanding.
  5. Ease of use. The configuration interface is extremely intuitive. Anyone can manage it.
