Server Instant Replay™

Server Instant Replay is a complete Boot from SAN solution that leverages Replays (continuous snapshots) to simplify server management. Using server boot images stored directly on the Compellent SAN, administrators can provision or recover servers in just a few clicks without server-based agents that may intefere with the process.

• Cut the costs of server hardware, management and on-site service with boot images and diskless servers
• Provision multiple VMs simultaneously using centralized, space-efficient boot images and automatic LUN masking
