frequently used data on the fastest
tracks of each drive
Dynamic Capacity™ Thin Provisioning eliminates idle
disk resources and cut your overall
storage expenditures in half by only
consuming storage as data is
physically written.
Data Instant Replay™
Data Instant Replay, you can recover
any size volume to any server in less
than 10 seconds, without any of the
traditional snapshot restraints.
Remote Instant Replay™ The Only SAN with Thin
Replication That Delivers
Enterprise Disaster Recovery
Without the Traditional Cost or
Complexity.

remains consistent even if Microsoft
Exchange or Microsoft SQL Server is
running as a snapshot or Replay is
captured.
STORAGE CENTER 5.4 HARDWARE Storage Center’s hardware architecture employs a modular
build-as-you-grow approach that provides a low cost of entry
with unlimited growth. The flexible hardware platform enables
simultaneous mixing and matching of any server interface or
drive technology. Add capacity, connectivity and performance
incrementally to match demand.
Compellent’s Dynamic Block Architecture Storage Center intelligently optimizes data movement and access at the
block level. Dynamic Block Architecture records and tracks specific
