Yesterday at VMworld 2009, Compellent product manager Tom Sherman got the chance to sit down with Bill Fife, Director of Technology for Wholesale Electric, a Houston-based electrical product distribution company.
Wholesale Electric significantly reduced its costs by deploying a Compellent virtualized SAN and Xsigo virtual I/O in conjunction with its VMware ESX server virtualization rollout.

Comic Relief, the UK charity that has inspired similar relief organizations around the world, is putting on its bi-annual “
Red Nose Day” fundraising event this Friday, March 13. We’re happy to announce that the Compellent SAN is a core part of their IT infrastructure, which is helping to support events like Red Nose Day and Sport Relief as well as everyday operations. Comic Relief implemented Compellent and
VMware virtualization platforms to cut their server count by 1/5th, and reduce powering and cooling costs along the way. In the end, Comic Relief is going green to raise green, and that’s no laughing matter.
