The Compellent unified SAN/NAS solution extends the benefit of storage consolidation across the enterprise by combining file-level access with block-level efficiencies. Now users with file-level storage requirements can easily utilize all of the enterprise features of Compellent storage, including Thin Provisioning, Storage Virtualization, Automated Tiered Storage, Replays (continous snapshots) and Remote Replication.
How to Do More with Unified Storage from Compellent:
- Cut server costs, improve performance and increase manageability by consolidating file servers with NAS
- Reduce connectivity costs by connecting servers to the SAN via Ethernet instead of costly Fibre Channel
- Implement heterogeneous file sharing out of the box with built-in support for CIFS, NFS and HTTP/HTTPS protocols
- Simplify volume setup and mapping with embedded Virtual Disk Service (VDS) Manager
- De-duplicate at the file level to save more than 35 percent of disk space with Single Instance Storage (SIS)
- Increase availability, reliability and performance with MPIO failover support
