Compellent and Microsoft

As a Microsoft Certified Gold Partner, Compellent collaborates extensively with Microsoft to ensure that our powerful software applications integrate seamlessly with – and add value to – key Windows applications such as Microsoft Exchange and SQL Server. Compellent partners so well with Microsoft that it was honored as a 2009 Partner of the Year Finalist. Microsoft also selected Compellent as a core storage component of the Microsoft Partner Solution Center’s (MPSC) virtual data center and disaster recovery strategy.

How Compellent Empowers Windows Environments
