Compellent's SAN can help companies enhance the efficiency of data storage and overcome the challenges created by rapid data center growth. With innovative technologies like Automated Tiered Storage, Thin Provisioning and Advanced Virtualization, Compellent can help organizations create a "greener" data center with a positive impact on both the environment and the bottom line. With a Compellent SAN, organizations can better utilize resources, decrease the need for equipment purchases and consequently minimize the costs of powering, cooling and housing equipment. As a result, Compellent believes companies can significantly reduce total data center costs while also reducing the environmental impact of running their data centers.
