So Much Data, So Little Time

The amount of data we must manage and the ways we have to protect it are driving us to try anything that will reduce our man-hour investment. Enter the raft of replication, CDP (continuous data protection) and virtualization tools, which promise to help.

iSCSI Array
Winner: EqualLogic PS200E
In the world of iSCSI arrays, there are two vendor categories: EqualLogic and everyone else. We've beaten up every version of EqualLogic's iSCSI storage device, and they all just take it. With performance numbers that rival a Fibre Channel SAN, along with simple configuration, great expandability and rock-solid hardware, we find EqualLogic's products to be the perfect fit for the small-to-midsize enterprise market. In our Green Bay, Wis., Real World Labs®, we use the PS200E to support tests on other products because the machine performs so well that it's never the bottleneck. This device just keeps running, no matter how much we abuse it.
