Dynamic storage continuity

Maximize availability across multiple locations

Compellent enables organizations to shift volumes on demand for performance, capacity, availability and continuous access to data. With Live Volume, data is not physically bound to any particular array or data center. Instead, volumes can be accessed and shared from multiple locations and can transparently migrate between arrays while applications remain online. This fully-integrated functionality can be implemented without additional hardware or taxing, server-side agents, making Live Volume a key enabler for virtualization and the cloud. Live Volume supports any virtualized server environment and complements leading virtual machine movement engines.

  • Works with multiple hypervisors, including VMware vSphere, Microsoft Hyper-V and Citrix XenServer
  • Allows organizations to scale out cost effectively, laying the foundation for a grid of arrays operating as one
