Being a prime product for the company, the all new Compellent Storage Center is expected play a major role in boosting scalability, and easy access and cloud computing for various enterprises. This project is also congruent with the company’s goal of pounding out its Fluid Data architecture to dynamically balance storage services, all while providing instant access to data.
The report also mentioned specifics of the new Compellent storage center: “The new Storage Center 5.4 features state-of-the-art storage hardware, tight integration with leading server virtualization technologies and flexible software that allows IT to automatically shift storage resources on-demand, non-disruptively to avoid downtime and maintain real-time availability. Enterprise customers can scale up capacity and functionality with a new controller platform that supports a wide range of emerging technologies from FCoE to 10Gb iSCSI and from 6Gb/s SAS drives to a 2.5-inch 24-bay enclosure. New Live Volume software delivers scale out capabilities and business continuity through the simple, flexible, fluid movement of storage volumes between Compellent arrays.”
Compellent has been steady with their product releases, and the market has been seeing key innovations consistently. Recently, they also released Storage Center 5.4, which also tackles scalability and data management. This one is for mid-sized enterprises.

This rate already includes clustered series 40 controllers, Fluid Data software licenses including Live Volume, Enterprise Manager, Data Progression tiering and Remote Instant Replay replication, which is estimated to be 6 TB of tiered 2.5” 6Gb/s SAS storage.
