2 PS Series Storage Arrays

PS Series Storage SANs provide a peer storage architecture comprised of one or more independent

arrays. Each array contains its own controllers, cache, storage, and interface ports. Grouped together

they can create one or more single instance storage pools that are based on the IETF iSCSI standard.

The capabilities of the PS Series solution are provided through a unique set of software and hardware

capabilities that, when used cooperatively, can provide a full featured SAN solution. The following

sections provide additional insight into specifications and functions of PS Series arrays.
