Unify block and file data with dynamic, scale-out NAS
Unify block and file data with dynamic, scale-out network attached storage (NAS) with Dell’s Fluid File System (FluidFS) on the Compellent FS8600. A fully virtualized, clustered file system, FluidFS avoids the architectural limitations of traditional file systems by scaling performance and capacity independently while maintaining industry-leading TCO.
Dell announced the latest enhancements to FluidFS on June 5th 2013, at Dell Enterprise Forum San Jose. Available first on the Compellent FS8600 in the latter half of 2013, FluidFS v3 promises to increase the efficiencies of the file storage environment with features like industry-leading Fluid Data Reduction and enhanced file protocol support while scaling up to 2PB in a single namespace1.
Avoid scale limitations of traditional architectures — Grow your capacity and performance with Dell Fluid File System easily and non-disruptively as your needs increase over time. Manage block and file storage intelligently — Extend the efficiency and agility of Compellent software to the file environment. Automatically tier block and file storage, maximizing utilization based on usage characteristics and providing the intelligence to optimize performance on a single platform for both IOPS- and throughput-intensive activity. Operate with confidence — Protect your data with file-level, snapshot-based replication and fully redundant hardware.
