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.

How to Amplify the Benefits of Server Virtualization with Dell Compellent

  • Create virtual volumes for hundreds of VMs without pre-allocating physical storage capacity upfront with Thin Provisioning
  • Simplify storage provisioning for any number of VMs with Automatic LUN Masking
  • Free up high-performance spindles for demanding virtual applications with Automated Tiered Storage
  • Deploy VMs in minutes, test patches and roll out upgrades to multiple servers risk-free with Boot from SAN
  • Recover any size VM volume in seconds with unlimited space-efficient Replays (continuous snapshots)
  • Increase availability for VMs by cost-effectively protecting data between multiple sites with Thin Replication
