Compellent Fluid Data™ Storage Platform
Fluid Data storage is enabled by a dynamic architecture that
actively and intelligently manages data at a more granular
level. This patented storage automation cuts cost, time, and
risk and allows you to rapidly respond to growth and change.
Compellent combines a powerful data movement engine, virtualized
software applications, and an agile hardware platform to
redefine efficiency, productivity, and protection in a truly
scalable enterprise storage solution.
Architecture: Fluid Data Architecture
A Fluid Data architecture enables Compellent
network storage to manage enterprise data at a more granular
level. Details about each block are captured in action,
providing unprecedented system intelligence. A powerful data
management and movement engine uses this information to store,
migrate and recover data efficiently and cost effectively.
With its Fluid Data architecture, Compellent
breaks through the boundaries of traditional systems to deliver
network storage solutions with the future built in. Business
applications are implemented faster, information to make
decisions is always available, new technologies are instantly
deployed and data is continuously protected against downtime and
disaster.
Only a Fluid Data Architecture Can Deliver:
- Breakthrough efficiency – buy fewer drives and use more Tier 3 storage,
saving on power and space
- Intelligent storage automation – simplify your IT infrastructure with zero touch
management
- Single platform scalability – scale without limits on a persistent,
technology-independent platform
- Continuous data protection – recover instantly and set up multi-site
replication in minutes
- Real-time responsiveness – rely on storage that performs as promised from day one

Hardware: Modular, Scalable Hardware Platform
Unlike network storage systems that require organizations to rip and
replace hardware as business needs change, Compellent storage
uses standards-based hardware and supports new technologies on a
single, modular platform. Users can mix and match drive
technologies such as SSD, FC, SAS and SATA, and utilize a range
of interconnects – from FC to FCOE and iSCSI to 10GbE. Plus,
fully redundant hardware components and advanced failover
features ensure no single point of failure for high enterprise
data availability.
Enterprise Data Management
Compellent enables enterprises of all sizes
to move beyond simply storing data to actively, intelligently
managing data. Powerful network storage software with built-in
intelligence and automation optimizes the provisioning,
placement and protection of data throughout its lifecycle.

Benefits
|
|
Open, Agile Hardware
|
Compellent is built on a flexible, persistent platform that scales
without limits. Unlike systems that require you to rip
and replace technology as your business needs change,
Compellent supports the continual adoption of new
technologies as you grow.

|
Intelligent, Automated Software
|
Powerful software with built-in intelligence and automation optimizes
the provisioning, placement and protection of data
throughout its lifecycle – to cut the time, cost and
risk of enterprise storage.
|
|
Fluid Data Architecture
|
A patented Fluid Data architecture enables Compellent to actively manage
data at a more granular level. Detailed information
about each block provides unprecedented system
intelligence to dynamically store, recover and manage
your data.
|
|
Advanced Storage Virtualization
|
Compellent virtualizes storage at the disk level, accelerating data
access by spreading read/ write operations across all
drives so multiple requests are processed in parallel.
|
|
Automated Tiered Storage
|
With unique patented technology, Compellent automatically classifies and
migrates data to the optimum tier of storage based on
actual usage.
|
|
Advanced Thin Provisioning
|
Advanced Thin Provisioning completely separates storage allocation from
utilization, enabling users to allocate any size volume
upfront yet only consume physical capacity when data is
written.
|
|
Continuous Data Protection
|
With Data Instant Replay, you can take an unlimited number of
space-efficient “snapshots” to speed the local recovery
of lost or deleted files. Once an initial snapshot of a
volume is taken, only incremental changes in data need
to be captured. These readable and writable Replays are
automatically stored on lower cost drives and can be
used to recover any size volume to any server in less
than 10 seconds.
|
|
Thin Replication
|
After initial site synchronization, only incremental changes in data are
replicated on an ongoing basis, cutting hardware,
bandwidth and administration costs. You can replicate
over Fibre Channel or native IP, which brings disaster
recovery within reach of every budget.
|
|
Intuitive Management Interface
|
Compellent storage systems feature a unified, point-and-click user
interface that cuts administration time and eliminates
the need for specialized administrative skills.
|
|
Storage Resource Management
|
Enterprise Manager simplifies storage resource management by providing
comprehensive monitoring and management of all local and
remote Compellent systems.
|
|
Data Center Automation
|
With aggressive platform integration, ongoing interoperability testing
and collaborative design efforts, Compellent delivers
best of breed data center automation for
industry-leading applications.
|
|
Highly Available Architecture
|
Compellent is architected for high availability with fully redundant
hardware and advanced failover features.
|
|
Unified Block and File Storage
|
The Compellent unified SAN/NAS solution extends the benefit of storage
consolidation across the enterprise by combining
file-level access with block-level efficiencies.
