Minneapolis, December 1, 2005 — Compellent Technologies, a provider of affordable and modular enterprise storage solutions, today announced Scot O’Connor has joined Compellent as business development manager for the Northeast region. O’Connor will be responsible for the growth and ongoing success of Compellent’s business partners within his territory
In the United States alone, Compellent has more than 75 authorized business partners, each supported by a dedicated team of Compellent’s channel development managers and technical storage architects.
O’Connor’s experience includes more than ten years in enterprise storage sales, strategic alliances and business development. Prior to joining Compellent, O’Connor worked in sales and business development positions at EMC, Network Engines and McData. He is a graduate of the Northeastern University.

O’Connor will support Compellent’s Elevate Partner Program in the region.
