The Key Components of Compellent

Compellent is a leader in providing effective solutions to business needs, such as data center virtulization, space reclamation, energy efficiency, enterprise automation, and unified storage. One outstanding feature of Compellent is Live Volume. As a recent tech article explains, "Live Volume can detect when VMware Vmotion moves a virtual machine from one server to another. Immediately after the detection of the virtual machine move, Live Volume will flag the replicated secondary volume as the new primary and will automatically reverse replication direction".

Another key feature of Compellent is the use of Enterprise Manager. Enterprise Manager utilizes a single console for administration of all Compellent systems, local and remote. According to Compellent's website, using Enterprise Manager is beneficial because it will:

•Maximize resource utilization and reduce disk costs using accurate capacity and performance data
•Streamline disaster recovery planning and replication configuration with a simple point-and-click interface
•Speed event resolution with centralized alert notification and event log management
•Identify trends and monitor storage use by business unit for accurate needs assessment and chargeback
•Automatically calculate energy savings and generate boardroom-ready hero reports

Compellent has many other features to offer, including their latest endeavor, Fluid Data Storage. To hear more about Compellents products and services, join The TNS Group at our annual Executive Technology Exchange on November 4th. For more information, contact Joe Carretta at 203-316-0112 ext. 105.
