For small to medium sided environments, it's great, or for low demand but being able to hit higher IOPS on demand. It's still entry-level compared to EqualLogic hardware but a great contender in the field.

Return on Investment
Dell Technologies
  • If you need a lot of disks attached to a system, PowerVault is the way to go.
  • The cost of the unit is reasonable, and you can extend the life of the unit pretty far.
