Multi-site replication
Compellent Storage Center SAN goes beyond traditional enterprise solutions to bring disaster recovery within reach of every budget.
With a combination of industry-leading breakthrough technologies and a uniquely simple interface, Compellent makes it easy for any company to ensure continuous enterprise availability.
In fact, Compellent's Thin Replication is the only solution that can be set up in less than 6 clicks and recover from any point in time at any location in less than 10 seconds. Based on patented continuous snapshot technology, Thin Replication lowers capacity, bandwidth and management costs to deliver multi-site replication.
Eliminate the complexity of multi-site replication
- Cut bandwidth and management costs by 50%
- Set up with just 6 clicks with Enterprise Manager storage resource management tool
- Test disaster recovery online without downtime
- Create an unlimited number of recovery points at multiple locations with Remote Instant Replay™
- Utilize native IP or Fibre Channel
- Recover to any point in time at any location in less than 10 seconds
- Centralized management with a single interface
Efficiency advantage
The Compellent SAN transforms legacy storage volumes into thin provisioned, auto-tiered and efficient data volumes.
Thin Provisioning – Enables end users to allocate any size virtual volume upfront yet only consume actual physical capacity when data is written by the application
Thin Import – As existing data is copied to a Compellent SAN, Storage Center converts the data into thin-provisioned volumes
Free Space Recovery – Increase utilization in Windows environments by reclaiming space that is no longer in use
Automated Tiered Storage – Automatically classify and migrate data to the optimum storage tier and RAID level based on usage. Fast Track extends the benefits of Automated Tiered Storage to every drive.
Boot from SAN – Cut storage capacity requirements by using space-efficient boot images with Server Instant Replay.
Continuous Snapshots – Create an unlimited number of space-efficient copies without pre-allocating capacity to provide extremely fast and reliable ecovery from any data hazard.
Storage Center SAN difference
Compellent's Storage Center storage area network (SAN) significantly lowers capital expenditures, reduces storage management, provides continuous data availability and enables storage virtualization.
Storage Center's industry-standard hardware and sophisticated software manage data at the block-level maximizing utilization, automating tiered storage, simplifying replication and speeding data recovery.
- Unique architecture manages data inside the volume
- Scalable hardware eliminates need for a forklift upgrade
- Powerful software optimizes utilization, automates replication and speeds data recovery
- Core technology provides essential storage features that are traditionally considered add-ons
How you benefit
- Radically reduce storage costs and extend the life of your IT equipment
- Cut storage management time by 50%
- Provide continuous data availability
- Automatically reduce power and cooling costs by up to 90%
Total cost of ownership (TCO)
Many IT departments are selecting more cost-effective storage platforms that lower capital expenditures and operating expenses while minimizing the cost of downtime.
Compellent's SAN – a highly integrated, feature-rich storage solution – was designed specifically to lower data storage TCO. In fact for every 10TB of storage capacity, the Compellent SAN can save as much as $1.2 million.
Enterprise-class disaster recovery that cuts costs
- Cut bandwidth costs by 50% with bandwidth simulation and shaping – Right-size your initial bandwidth purchase by accurately estimating requirements upfront based on actual data. Customize transfer rates based on link speed, time of day and replication priority.
- Consume less space with thin provisioned volumes – Thin replication does not require a pre-allocation of space at the remote location. Create volumes based on written data and intelligently transfer only the changed blocks of data. De-duplication ensures the same block of data is not sent twice.
- Utilize affordable IP-based replication – Native iSCSI interface eliminates the need for expensive converters and allows you to leverage existing networks, infrastructure and staff.
- Implement lower-cost hardware – Thin replication does not require primary and remote locations to have identical configurations, allowing you to use lower cost disks.
A SAN that saves more than data!
- Save more by allocating less – Allocate any size virtual volume yet only consume physical capacity when data is written by the application, dramatically reducing both upfront and ongoing disk drive expenditures.
- Achieve the full cost benefits of integrated lifecycle management – Automatically classify and migrate data to preferred tier of storage based on usage, cutting storage costs and improving performance.
- Provide quick and easy recovery – Create a high number of space-efficient copies for fast, reliable recovery from data hazards without the cost of pre-allocating disk space or full volume clones.
- Save your budget and your business – Thin Replication automatically replicates replays between multiple sites, providing business continuity at a fraction of the cost of other replication solutions.
- Manage everything with a single interface – Reduce storage management cost with an intuitive interface and integrated architecture that automates manual, time consuming tasks. Manage more storage in less time, accomplishing even complex storage tasks in less than 10 minutes.
- Slash server costs – Integrated boot from SAN support reduces capital costs, cuts administrative time and increases server performance and availability. Provision or recover a server in less than 10 minutes.
- Grow a green data center – Compellent's ultra-efficient disk utilization reduces power, cooling and space requirements to create a "green" data center with a positive impact on both the environment and your bottom line.
