Compellent Fluid Data technology broadens Broadview Networks and Dell’s storage solutions portfolio for scaling and managing more data with fewer resources in enterprise and cloud data centers.
The Compellent acquisition is Dell’s latest strategic investment to expand its award-winning, enterprise storage portfolio which includes EqualLogic and PowerVault. The combination of Compellent technology with current Dell storage solutions significantly advances the Dell strategy to help customers better manage data growth, reduce storage costs and dramatically simplify the management of IT infrastructure.
Compellent is a leading provider of enterprise-class network storage solutions that automate the movement and management of data throughout its lifecycle. The Storage Center is a Storage Area Network, or SAN, that is designed to significantly lower storage and infrastructure capital expenditures reduce the skill level and number of personnel required to manage information and enable continuous data availability and storage virtualization. Storage Center is based on innovative Fluid Data Architecture, which allows enterprises of all sizes to move beyond simply storing data to actively, intelligently managing data. With Fluid Data storage, users are able to intelligently store, recover and manage large amounts of data with minimal effort. The sophisticated software is combined with standards-based hardware into a single integrated solution. The Storage Center is the most comprehensive enterprise-class network storage solution available today, providing increased functionality and lower total cost of ownership when compared to traditional storage systems.
Compellent was founded by a team of storage industry veterans with the vision of delivering a highly scalable, feature rich, easy to use and cost effective SAN for enterprises of all sizes. We believe Storage Center is an innovative solution that provides a point-and-click graphical user interface, automated tiered storage, integrated data and disaster recovery, efficient thin storage provisioning, storage virtualization and the flexibility to effectively combine advances in storage technologies into one integrated solution.
Compellent has designed a highly scalable, enterprise-class storage solution with an intelligent software architecture, advanced storage virtualization capabilities and a modular, standards-based hardware platform. Storage Center is designed to work with most server operating systems in use today without installing additional server software. These underlying technologies enable Storage Center to overcome the limitations of traditional storage systems and operate as a fully integrated solution managed through a single, intuitive, user interface.
Building on the Fluid Data Architecture, Storage Center’s integrated suite of software applications dramatically improve utilization, automate tiered storage, streamline storage administration and speed data and disaster recovery. A base configuration of Storage Center typically includes a controller, disk enclosure, disk drives, connectivity hardware, Storage Center Core software and Dynamic Capacity.
