Compellent changes Storage Area Networks forever with Storage Center

The storage industry is a crazy arena these days. Trying to understand the difference between the storage area network solutions on the market can be very difficult, especially when the features and benefits are being marketed by the vendors themselves. As you know, what vendors tells us always has to be taken with the grain of salt, as much of the time their sole intent is to confuse and delay you from buying a competitor’s solution.

The storage game is now a $23 billion dollar industry and it is growing rapidly. For many of the “good ole boys” its been easy for them to sit back and enjoy the ride with little innovation necessary. Today, the lion’s share (60%) of the storage market is held by 4 players…

All are good vendors with solid reputations and very good products. These “good ole boy” vendors are still delivering 2nd generation SAN technology. It’s no secret, that each of them is working diligently to try and protect their lucrative domination of the storage industry.

The 3rd generation SANs began with the emergence of…

These more innovative solutions were completely blown away when Compellent’s Storage Center offering was revealed. Compellent revolutionized the storage market with the first and only 4th generation SAN.

The game changer is Compellent’s ability to manage blocks. That’s right, blocks. The rest of the players manage drives. They manage disk drives or spindles. Compellent calls their technology Dynamic Block Architecture, and while it is excellent marketing gibberish, its also a great description of what is happening under the hood of Storage Center. Are you with me? Here, let me show you what I mean…watch the Information Lifecycle Management (ILM) video below

You want to run RAID 10 and RAID 5 on the same physical drives? Only with Compellent is this possible. Storage virtualization has arrived!
