1 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.
