Compellent and VMware
Compellent is the ideal storage platform for VMware virtualized server environments. By virtualizing both server and storage resources, users can establish a flexible, ultra-efficient data center that cuts cost, time and risk. Virtual servers and storage volumes can be provisioned without limit, moved or changed on the fly with no downtime and instantly recovered to any point in time. Compellent is a VMware Technology Alliance Partner and adheres to the VMware Hardware Compatibility List (HCL) to ensure smooth interoperability.
How Compellent Enhances VMware Virtualized Server Environments
-
Storage Virtualization amplifies the benefits of server virtualization, creating a shared pool of storage available to all vSphere virtual machines (VMs) all the time
-
Thin Provisioning allows users to create storage for hundreds of VMs without any wasted storage, then add capacity on the fly without limits
-
Automated Tiered Storage complements VMware Infrastructure dynamic load balancing by freeing up high-performance storage for the most demanding VMs
-
Data Instant Replay integrates with VMware HA to create stable Replays (continous snapshots) of VMs for instant recovery to any point in time
- Compellent Storage Replication Adapter for VMware Site Recovery Manager automates disaster recovery, eliminating all manual processes and reducing risk
-
Boot from SAN speeds the deployment of VMs from a centralized boot image, provides risk-free patch and upgrade testing, and enables the use of diskless servers for data center consolidation
