DELL EqualLogic FS7600 and FS7610 storage system

The Dell EqualLogic FS7600 and FS7610 are unified storage appliances that bring scalable NAS capability to existing EqualLogic PS Series arrays. Powered by the Dell Fluid File System (FluidFS), these 2U dual-controller appliances allow administrators to manage both block and file data through a single interface (EqualLogic Group Manager). The FS7600 supports 1GbE connectivity, while the FS7610 provides high-speed 10GbE SFP+ ports for more demanding workloads. This next-generation architecture eliminates file system size limits, allowing a single namespace to grow up to 509 TB. With active-active controllers, integrated hardware redundancy, and advanced data protection features like snapshots and NDMP backup, it is a highly reliable solution for mid-sized enterprises.
