Compellent enables organisations to create a Fluid Data environment and implement a unified storage solution that includes both SAN and NAS for block and file storage, in order to accommodate different business needs. In this way, scalability problems and growth limits – typical of other storage platforms - are eliminated. In addition, data is automatically protected against downtime and disaster, with consequent business continuity maximization and remarkable storage, power and cooling cost savings.

Integra benefits from Compellent’s unique channel-only “assisted sales” model, which offers a major advantage over the competition when it comes to selling to, and servicing, its clients, Integra will also gain access to Compellent’s secure online partner portal, which features fast lead registration, rapid quote generation and a host of other online resources.

“Unlike other storage vendors, who use resellers for distribution but ultimately compete with them via direct sales, Compellent has no direct sales force”, explained Andy Hardy, managing director of international sales at Compellent  “And the reason is because Compellent focuses all its resources on helping partners sell and close deals”.

“Compellent’s technology enables our customers to automatically manage their whole information and data life-cycle”, commented Vincenzo Carlone, chief operation officer, Integra. “Compellent’s enterprise storage system, with its built-in automation and intelligence, allows data to flow throughout an organisation in a way that is directly aligned with the needs of almost any organisation. As a result, we are able to provide our customers an efficient way to cut costs. Finally, Compellent offers us continuous support – both technical and commercial – with certified training courses”.

In order to show companies how Compellent Fluid Data storage solutions works and the benefits it offers, Compellent and Integra are going to organize during the next months a road-show around Italy.
