Data Center Virtualization

The Optimal Storage Platform for Server Virtualization

Compellent’s storage platform is the perfect complement to server virtualization, allowing organizations to create an on-demand data center. Compellent delivers industry-leading storage virtualization by removing the limits of physical drives and aggregating them into logical virtual volumes. Administrators can provision from this virtual pool without restrictions, creating storage for hundreds of virtual servers with no wasted storage capacity.


Virtual Volumes from centralized storage pool


Create an automated data center with virtual servers and virtual storage.

Reduce Data Center TCO. Cut storage and server costs. Shrink the data center footprint and lower power costs and CO2 emissions.

Simplify Management and Provisioning. Create a flexible data center that adapts to business needs on demand. Quickly allocate storage to virtual servers without downtime, provisioning new servers in minutes.

Improve Availability. Architect a data center built for continuous availability. Boot virtual servers from the SAN, recover locally with continuous snapshots and replicate virtual servers for disaster recovery.


Key Benefits
  • Improve asset utilization
  • Reduce the cost and complexity of managing both servers and storage
  • Eliminate capacity planning; provision for virtual servers from a single shared pool
  • Create easily restorable backups and highly available replicated server environments
  • Reduce power and cooling costs and shrink the data center footprint

Customer Testimonial
