Overall Satisfaction with Dell EqualLogic PS Series

We use one PS series as our primary SAN for the whole organization for our virtual environment, and another PS series in our disaster recovery site. The primary replicates to the DR site.
  • Rock solid. A few hard drive failures over the years, but that is to be expected on a device that runs 24 hours a day.
  • Easy to configure and maintain
  • Solid redundancy. No single point of failure.
  • Be nice to use a hybrid of drives. Solid state and hard disk drives.
  • Configuration was easy, but the maintaining of it can be a little difficult. We are a small shop. The system runs great, but when it comes to increasing storage space, etc., it can be difficult because we aren't in it daily. Some options are buried pretty well, which makes it tough to find.
  • Great ROI. We have been using it for 5 years, with no downtime due to equipment failures.
  • Hewlett Packard
I think the PS Series stacked up equal to HP, for a lot less money.
I find the PS Series is well suited for the small to mid-size organization. Larger organizations may need faster IOPS and 10Gb connections.
