Dell EqualLogic PS Series

EqualLogic PS arrays are long past end of life but remarkably durable, which is why some still sit under a Hyper-V cluster somewhere. Firmware is frozen, spares come from the used market and the management tools do not run on current Windows without effort.

Our EqualLogic work is almost entirely migration: keep it up, move the volumes, shut it down.

• Group health check and spare drives
• Volume migration to ME5 or hyper-converged storage
• Decommission with certified data destruction

How we work

Storage projects begin with an honest capacity and performance baseline: how much data, how fast it grows, what IOPS and latency the applications actually need. That baseline decides between an entry SAN, a unified array, a NAS or a hyper-converged design, and it keeps vendors from selling you the biggest box.

We build the network under the storage as carefully as the storage itself: isolated iSCSI paths or dual FC fabrics, multipathing on every host and a failover test before anything goes live. Backups get an immutable copy and a restore test on a schedule.

Migrations are run as projects with a written cutover plan, a rollback path and a validation checklist. Old arrays are decommissioned with certified data destruction and the documentation is handed over.
