With Dell Compellent enterprise storage and Dell Fluid Data architecture, implementing SSDs is as easy as inserting two or more drives into an existing 2.5” SAS enclosure. Once installed, the SSDs can leverage all of the ultra-efficient advantages of a Fluid Data architecture, including Storage Virtualization, Thin Provisioning and Automated Tiered Storage.


Deploying SSDs paired with automated tiering is particularly effective. Inactive data cascades to lower-cost, high-capacity drives, freeing up space on SSDs for business-critical applications that demand high- performance storage.


Compellent optimizes the use of SSDs through its Automatic Data Progression technology, which moves files in use to the fastest tier of storage available. While you can designate specific volumes to be run only on SSDs, if you use the default settings, the most-used files are automatically moved to the SSDs, and if they aren’t used for a while, they are automatically migrated to slower drives.


This ensures that the SSDs are fully utilized, and can effectively accelerate performance for the entire storage system without requiring a large number of SSDs.


How to Provide On-Demand Performance with SSDs


•Maximize IOPS using fewer drives, less power and less space •Reduce the number of SSDs needed by reserving them for active data


•Start with as few as two drives and expand in line with business needs


•Deliver micro-second latency to the applications that need it most


•Leverage Thin Provisioning and Automated Tiered Storage with SSD


•Manage SSDs like any other drive in the SAN


DELL EQUALLOGIC The Dell EqualLogic family of virtualized iSCSI SANs are designed to provide responsive, reliable support to end users; while increasing efficiency and decreasing the cost of data management. The PS6100XS virtualized iSCSI arrays are ideal for optimizing responsiveness of applications through intelligent tiering of data, within the array, across low-latency SSD drives and performance sensitive 10K RPM SAS hard disks.


Benefits include:


•Optimize performance of tiered application workloads, such as virtual desktop or applications delivered as a service


•Intelligent data placement across SSD and 10K RPM SAS helps deliver excellent user responsiveness for tiered workloads


•Balance cost and performance with a combination of SSD and 10K RPM SAS in a single array


Enterprise Availability


Modularized design: all the internal modularized components are hot- swappable and redundant;


SLC Quality: Dorado2100 uses the non-volatile Single-Level Cell (SLC) which has more than 1 million hours MTBF. The protection mechanisms such as wear leveling, bad block management, and random scrambling code prolong the lifecircle.

The PS6100XS reinforces the EqualLogic principles of intelligence, automation and scalable performance, with the addition of optimized data response for your applications through intelligent data tiering. Using a combination of low-latency SSD and performance-oriented SAS drives the PS6100XS automatically places data on the appropriate disk technology using historical I/O and performance patterns and helps optimize data response for your applications while maximizing efficiency.


The ability to sense and intelligently respond to data requirements is a valuable feature for applications like virtual desktops that can benefit from low-latency SSD during desktop initialization (i.e. Bootstorm) and often require cost effective, performance-oriented storage for user data files.


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 all components are fully functional.
