help to choose equallogic

Hi with those numbers, it is a bit hard to give some configuration advice.

Could you provide us with some MB/s requirements and maybe your avarage I/O per second load?

How many servers do you plan on connecting to the system, and do you have things like databases, exchange or other high IO requirement software?

I assume you want to buy an Equallogic SAN unit (PS-series). There is also a NAS option (FS-series), which in turn uses the PS-series for it's storage.

Is that 844214 your disk IOPS (requirement)? Or is this your MB/s? MB/s is only a limited reflection of your performance needs. You really need to figure out your IOPS requirements.

If that 844214 is your IOPS requirement, you're probably looking at needing several SSD enclosures as a 15k SAS drive can do 150-180 IOPS at best (resulting in need 5000+ harddrives to achieve that kind of IOPS).

I would suggest that in order to get the right arrya sizing, performance, and network infrastructure setup correctly (there are switch requirments that need to be met), that you contact a EqualLogic Sales Engineer in your region to help you get this done properly.

Please send an email: Eqlx-customer-service@dell.com, and list you company name, location and needs.  They will be able to get you in contact with the right people.
