Designed to scale with your business

Fulfill your high-capacity needs with the PS6110X 10GbE iSCSI array, a Dell™ Storage solution with a virtualized scale-out architecture that delivers enhanced, flexible storage performance that is easy to manage.

• Leverage your existing infrastructure with 10GbE SFP+ or build out your network with new, cost-effective 10GBASE-T (both supported).
• Help eliminate downtime and performance penalties with smooth, incremental SAN expansion.
• Grow your virtual storage alongside your virtual server growth.
• Change hardware without disruption.
• Add or remove arrays at will, according to policy, age, application or business needs.
• Easily mix new disk or network technologies in the SAN.
• Move volumes (databases/virtual machines) online between any pool or disk resources.
• Avoid forklift upgrades or data-in-place migrations that cost time and money.
• Automatically balance loads across disks and multiple arrays in a pool.
• Help eliminate manual redistribution of capacity or application workloads (downtime and services costs).
