Compellent’s impressive Data Progression technology works to optimize storage at the page level three page sizes: 512KB, 2MB, and 4MB. Within the Dell Fluid Data Architecture, files can be striped across drives for improved access times and to perform tiering optimizations in parallel. New Storage Center 6.5 benefits and enterprise features include:
- Block level compression allowing SAN customers to store more data with fewer drives
- Self-encrypting drive support to meet regulatory requirements
- Synchronous Live Volume function which allows data to be restored non-disruptively
- Improved cloud environment support in the form of segmentation for 64 times as many VLANs per iSCSI port
Availability
Compellent Storage Center 6.5 will be available in the second quarter of 2014.
