Dell has announced an update to their EqualLogic storage arrays, which adds support for copper and optical 10 GbE networking and increased storage capacity. The new EqualLogic PS6110 and PS4110 iSCSI arrays can be configured with 10GbE SFP+ or the less expensive 10GBASE-T RJ45 copper interface cards. Both systems are dual-controller, but the PS6110 offers higher capacity points and more processing power.
