Compellent’s Fluid Data Storage Offers Cost-Effective Disaster Recovery
To safeguard data in case of disaster and downtime, Appleby Global and Cross Country Home Services turned to Compellent’s intelligent, virtualized storage application to build efficient, cost-effective disaster recovery infrastructures. The interoperability of virtualization technologies such as thin replications and automated tiered storage promotes storage efficiency, infrastructure optimization and data movement automation. This newest solution is attractive to enterprises regardless of size because it is simple and comprehensive.
“Compellent customers are running 24/7 IT operations and cannot afford to have unplanned downtime,” said Scott Horst, vice president of corporate marketing, Compellent. “Compellent offers an easy-to-manage, scalable disaster recovery storage infrastructure, allowing IT managers to build reliable cloud and end-to-end virtualized environments while maintaining data resiliency and availability.”
Compellent boots from SAN and has a continuous snapshot feature that allows administrators to replicate space-efficient copies to set up, recover and allocate any size volume to any server in seconds. Also, customers can create an unlimited number of snapshots between sites and perform live tests of the replication, allowing multiple locations to serve as instant recovery points. The combination of DR features with thin provisioning and automated tiered storage boosts utilization and promotes cost-effective storage capital and site operating expense.
“Compellent allowed us to integrate an easy-to-use replication strategy into our disaster recovery plan,” said Jack Fleming, group IT infrastructure manager at Appleby Global. “We appreciate the lower cost of Compellent’s thin replication, and also the flexibility offered by the system that allows us to use complementary technologies like Riverbed bandwidth optimization to tailor our disaster recovery approach. With several locations in hurricane-prone areas of the world, we can trust our Compellent setup to protect our data during natural disasters.”
