Compellent Storage Center offers Windows administrators an easy and familiar interface using a Web-based GUI to manage their networked storage. By offering thin provisioning, Compellent makes it easy for Windows administrators to reduce initial deployment costs by increasing capacity incrementally based on application demand. The flexibility of Compellent Storage Center, coupled with its integration with Volume Shadow Copy Services, makes it possible for administrators to recover data for Exchange Server, Microsoft SQL Server, and other Microsoft applications-quickly and efficiently. Compellent also helps consolidate file-based data by offering a fully integrated, network-attached storage gateway that uses the enterprise features of the Compellent SAN and takes advantage of native Windows file-level features.
