Business Impact Pain Point
Inactive Data Risk of Technology Obsolescence Inefficient Storage Utilization 80% of data is managed on high-cost drives Forklift upgrades, CAPEX wasted, downtime Wasted disk drive capacity on empty space CAPEX OPEX
Storage Pain Points
Compellent Confidential, 7
Need for Virtual Infrastructure System Complexity Inefficient use of capital, difficult to manage How many people manage storage today? Power, Cooling & Floorspace Costs skyrocketing, run out of power & floorspace Backup and Recovery Expensive, disruptive DR implementation & test Recovery from tape is slow and unreliable Disaster Preparedness System Uptime Outages consume resources, impact production OPEX AVAILABILITY
Compellent Storage Center
Reduce CAPEX by over 74%
– Automated Tiered Storage – Thin provisioning
Cut OPEX in half
– Less administration: no training required – Reduced bandwidth, power, cooling, rackspace
Ensure continuous data availability
Scalable Enterprise-class SAN with the lowest TCO in the industry
Compellent Confidential, 8
Ensure continuous data availability
– Unlimited snapshots without full copies – Replication flexibility for low-cost DR
Supports any open-systems server without agents
– Connect via FC, iSCSI or both – Scale from 1TB to over 700 TB – OS Support: Windows, Solaris, HP-UX, Linux, AIX, Netware, Mac OS X, Tru64, Open VMS, VMware
Investment Protection
– Seamless growth: no more forklift upgrades

Hardware Overview
Storage Center Controllers
- Standards-based hardware
- Server and disk connections via PCI cards
- Controller clustering for high availability
– “Shared nothing” approach
- High-speed mirrored, write-back cache
Server and disk drive technology independence — Mix and match any combination
Compellent Confidential, 11
- High-speed mirrored, write-back cache
Storage Center Disk Enclosures
- Scale from 1TB to over 700TB
- Expand storage online
- FC switched disk enclosures (SBOD)
– Drives supported: FC – 10K, 15K
- SATA disk enclosures
The Compellent Advantage: Dynamic Block Architecture
The only storage solution that manages data inside the volume
Dynamic Block Architecture Metadata – Creation, Access, and Modification time – Frequency of access – Disk drive type/RAID level
Compellent Confidential, 12
– Disk drive type/RAID level Sophisticated data movement engine No performance impact U.S. Patents issued - more pending Automated Tiered Storage Thin replication and snapshots
SSD NAND vs NOR random access Single Level Cell vs Multi Level Cell

Nano or micro seconds latency 2.000 – 45.000 IOPS per disk
Automated Management of Inactive Data
Benefits Patented technology automatically moves inactive data to lower tiers Eliminates RAID 5 write penalty The ONLY SAN to automate ILM inside the volume Data Progression Advantage
Compellent Confidential, 15
write penalty 74% less disk costs Reduced power, cooling and floorspace Automatically move snapshots to lower tiers No server side agents required
Traditional Approach to Tiered Storage
Entire Volume movement ONLY Manual data classification Manual data movement Extra software on each server
Reduced System Complexity
Compellent Advantage Optimized data placement All volumes span all drives Higher performance Change RAID levels Virtualization Benefits

Boot From SAN
The Complete Boot From SAN Solution Boot from SAN Benefits Diskless servers Thin provisioned boot volumes Less power, cooling and Lower server costs by more than $100,000 for every 25 servers
Compellent Confidential, 19
Less power, cooling and floorspace “Spawning” of boot images Replace failed servers in less than 15 minutes Easy to replicate boot images for DR
Simplified, Low-cost Disaster Recovery
Thin Replication Benefits Remote Instant Replay Advantage Anytime DR validation Significant reduction in bandwidth and management costs Live testing anytime, fast recovery minimizes outage time

Site Recovery Manager Storage Adapter
- Accelerate Recovery
– Ensures you meet your recovery time objectives with failover automation
- Non-Disruptive Testing
– Ability to execute non-disruptive tests in isolated environments
Compellent Confidential, 21
- Simplified Recovery
– Simplified and centralized process for recovery. Easier to manage and update. – But…limited to 2 sites and the storage doesn’t “follow” the server failover automatically.
Traditional Disaster Recovery – Manual Effort
Step 1: Remote site recovery
- Stop replication
- Start recovery process
- View volumes
- Map volumes
- Restart applications
Step 2: Primary site restore
- Initiate restore process
- Re-start replication
- View volumes
- Map volumes
- Restart applications
