Dell Compellent Storage Enclosures

Dell Compellent enterprise-class storage enclosures feature the latest industry-standard technology, including 6 Gb SAS interconnects, so organizations can scale up and out with ease. Administrators can mix SSD, Fibre Channel and SAS drives in the same system, as well as SAS drives with the same form factor (but different speeds and capacities) in the same storage enclosure. Using identical rackspace, 24-bay 2.5" SAS enclosures accommodate more than twice as many drives as 16-bay 3.5" Fibre Channel enclosures. Any combination of Fibre Channel and/or SAS enclosures can be housed in an array to balance cost and performance. And users can change configuration on demand – adding, replacing or updating enclosures – as new technologies emerge and business needs shift. Plus, migrating data to new enclosures can be performed without disruption or downtime by using Live Volume software.
