Data Center Virtualization
Storage Virtualization Solutions
Dell Compellent’s Storage Virtualization is the perfect complement to any leading virtual server platform. Aggregating physical disks into logical virtual volumes removes the limitations inherent to physical drives. The result is a dynamic pool of storage resources shared by virtual machines (VMs). Storage is presented to VMs simply as capacity, regardless of disk type, RAID level or server connectivity.
