As we bring C-Drive 2008 to a close we wanted to extend a thank you to all of our business partners, customers, analysts and media folks that took the time to come and participate. Here is a video compilation of take-aways from this year’s event. We look forward to seeing you all back again in 2009!

At C-Drive today our channel partners had virtualization on their minds and how customers can eliminate hardware, reduce costs and power consumption. Take a look at these videos.

2008 Storage Magazine-Diogenes Labs Quality Award

Larry by Lawrence E. Aszmann, Chief Technology Officer — April 21, 2008

We just received the 2008 Quality Award for top midrange array from Storage magazine and Diogenes Labs Quality Awards. We were ranked #1 overall out of a total of 15 vendors in the survey including the likes of Dell, EqualLogic, EMC, HP, Hitachi, IBM, NetApp, and Sun.

It's a great honor because this award was driven completely by independent customer feedback. We were very pleased to learn 100% of Compellent users said they'd purchase from Compellent again. Also, 100% of our end-users worked with a channel partner on their purchase — unlike our competitors.

We've always believed in listening to the voice of the customer, which is evident from these results. And, we'll continue to listen to your feedback as we introduce more energy-saving features in the SAN.

Thanks for making yourselves heard on the Quality Award. We'd love to hear from you, whether you were involved in this survey or not, about why you chose us.
