Storage back-end is critical for Virtual Infrastructure functionality
Next generation technology delivers a 2-3x performance improvement
Slash number of disk drives up to 80% with new storage innovations
Improve PerformanceReduce CAPEX Compellent’s Storage Center
The first SAN to automate tiered storage within every drive
Go Green
Reduce data center floor space, power and cooling costs
Reduce OPEX
Automatically optimize system performance and disk utilization
Reduce the number of drives without sacrificing performance
Compellent Confidential, 28
Feature Benefits
Fast Track•30% fewer drives from optimal placement of data•Use of less-expensive drives •Saves power
Thin Import• Increased utilization – 50% fewer drives needed when
moving data from a legacy SAN • Saves power
Windows Space Recovery • Fewer drives by reclaiming unused disk space
Application Optimizer • Improved performance with fewer drives for applications like e-mail, database and imaging
New Controller
• Field upgradeable, backwards compatible for investment protection
• Improved performance with fewer drives• RoHS compliance for green data centers
New innovations improve performance by 2-3X, reduce drive usage by 80%

Fast Track Advantage: Dynamic Block Architecture
The only storage solution that manages data inside the volume Metadata
– Creation, Access, and Modification time– Frequency of access– Disk drive type/RAID level
Sophisticated data movement engine Dynamic and automated placement of blocks No performance impact

Optimize Data Placement
Compellent Advantage
Operates inside the volume at the block-level
Use up to 30% fewer drives
Significantly reduce latency times
Decrease the need for costly, high-power drives
Improve disk utilization Optimize performance on
actual usage patterns
Fast Track Benefits
Reduce the number of drives without sacrificing performance
Traditional Data Placement Volume-level placement Active data distributed across
the drives
Allocated but empty space on outer tracks
Wasted inner tracks on the drive
Data on the Fast TrackMinimize seek time
Compellent Confidential, 31
Thin Import
Compellent Advantage Thin Import Benefits
Traditional Data Migration
Convert legacy volumes into thin provisioned volumes
Reduce replication bandwidth by eliminating empty block transmission
Can cut required drives by 50%
Increases disk utilization and efficiency when migrating legacy volumes
Thick provisioned volumes waste capacity when transferred to thin provisioned systems
Compellent Confidential, 32
Advanced Thin Provisioning
Compellent Advantage
Operates with Windows file system
Removes deleted blocks from overall volume size
Reclaims space no longer in use
Continuous process recovers space over time
Intuitive interface includes automated notifications
Windows Space Recovery
Automatically reclaim file space from deleted files
Traditional Thin Provisioning Windows OS does not release
space no longer in use OS misreports available

Application Optimizer
Compellent Advantage Application Optimizer
Improve performance for individual applications
Provide a flexible page size to match I/O demand
Smaller page sizes improve performance for Exchange
Larger page sizes improve performance for large I/O such as image processing
Typically not available with traditional SANs
512 KB – Heavy I/O ApplicationsFrequent Replays (E-mail, Database)
2 MB – System DefaultAppropriate for most Applications
(file, print, web)
4 MB – Large Amount of Disk SpaceInfrequent Replays (HD video,
medical imaging)

The Fast Track Advantage
Operates ‘inside the volume’– Others treat volume as a single entity– Fast Track operates within the volume on
blocks– Thin Provisioning ensures only actual data
written to outer tracks– Use up 30% fewer drives
Automated– All operations automated through Data
Progression– No one else offers this level of automation– Optimize without manual intervention
Dynamic– Data Progression provides continuous
analysis and daily data movement

Windows Space Recovery
Current scenario– NTFS writes 50 GB to file system
– Later 25 GB space deleted
– Windows does not reset file system pointer
– Additional 25 GB written at current file system pointer
– Windows now reports 50 GB used, based on total data
– Compellent reports 75 GB used, based on file system pointer
