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 onto a single virtualized platform. Dell Compellent offers two unified network storage solutions: the Dell Compellent zNAS and the Dell NX3000 for Compellent. Both NAS offerings connect to the Storage Center SAN, providing organizations with the convenience of file-level access combined with the efficiencies of a Fluid Data architecture. The Dell Compellent zNAS is ideal for pure NFS and mixed NFS/CIFS environments, while the Dell NX3000 for Compellent is well suited for pure CIFS environments.
