Unified Storage
SAN/NAS Storage Solutions
As the generation of unstructured data continues to explode, enterprises of all sizes are looking for ways to consolidate file- and block-level data storage management. Compellent offers two unified network storage solutions: Compellent zNAS and Storage Center with NAS. Both SAN/NAS solutions provide administrators with the convenience of file-level access combined with the efficiencies of a Fluid Data architecture. Compellent zNAS is ideal for mixed UNIX, Linux and Windows CIFS/NFS environments, and Storage Center with NAS is highly effective for Windows CIFS environments.
