Fibre Channel Storage Area Network (SAN) Solutions
Compellent Storage Center SAN with NAS Product Line
Based on Microsoft Windows Storage Server 2008, Storage
Center with NAS is a unified SAN/NAS solution that is ideal for
Windows CIFS environments. The solution extends the benefits of
storage consolidation across the enterprise by combining
file-level access with block-level efficiencies. It enables
administrators with file-level requirements to utilize all of
the enterprise features of Compellent storage, including Thin
Provisioning, Storage Virtualization, Automated Tiered Storage,
Replays (continuous snapshots) and Remote Replication.
Combining block and file-level data into a centralized
storage platform simplifies management and reduces overall
storage cost and complexity. An effective unified storage system
is easily integrated, scalable and offers enterprise features
not typically available with file-level storage.
Enterprise-Class Storage Features at the File Level
Storage Center with NAS is a fully integrated networked
storage solution that extends the benefits of storage
consolidation across the enterprise. Now customers with
file-level storage requirements can easily utilize all of the
enterprise features of the Compellent SAN, including successive
Replays (snapshots), automated tiered storage, thin provisioning
and remote replication. This unified SAN and NAS solution
delivers the high availability, scalability and end-to-end
support that customers receive from a Compellent SAN.

Benefits
|
|
Automated Tiered Storage
|
Automatically store both block and file-level data on
the preferred tier of storage and cut overall storage
expenditures |
|
Thin Provisioning
|
Take advantage of a high storage utilization rate
with thin provisioned volumes |
|
Successive Snapshots
|
Create a high number of Replays (snapshots) to allow
speedy recovery to servers |
|
Thin Replication
|
Setup remote replication in 6 clicks to provide
disaster recovery for both block and file data |
|
Storage Consolidation Lowers TCO
|
Reduce overall server hardware, management overhead
and associated IT staff costs with a consolidated
solution. Cut connectivity costs by connecting to the
SAN via Ethernet instead of costly Fibre Channel HBAs. |
|
Implement In Minutes, Reduce Power and Cooling |
Plug and play solution delivers heterogeneous file
sharing and increased client access. Storage Center with
NAS is deployed as a diskless server and booted from
centralized disks on the Compellent SAN to further
simplify management, cut power and cooling requirements
and reduce acquisition costs. |
|
Advanced NAS Features Simplify Management |
Built-in support for NFS and CIFS delivers
multi-platform file sharing. File-level de-duplication
via single instance storage (SIS), embedded MPIO and VDS
Manager simplify overall management. |
|
Reduce the Cost of Downtime
|
Create more recovery points to ensure rapid recovery.
Fault tolerance and clustering support for up to 16
nodes deliver high availability. Single contact point
for service of entire end-to-end solution lowers
management cost and complexity. |
