Compellent is a leading provider of enterprise-class network storage solutions that are highly scalable, feature-rich and easy to use and cost effective.

Compellent's Storage Center is a Storage Area Network (SAN) that is designed to significantly lower storage and infrastructure capital expenditures, reduce the skill level and number of personnel required to manage information and enable continuous data availability and storage virtualization.

Compellent was founded by a team of network storage and virtualization pioneers Phil Soran, John Guider and Larry Aszmann – executives with decades of storage experience and a proven track record of developing innovative storage technologies and successful businesses.

Traditional storage vendors promise to reduce the amount of time and money spent on storage, but instead deliver a patchwork of complicated and inefficient point products that are difficult to learn, integrate and manage.

By starting from scratch without the burden of software legacy code and the limitations of a proprietary hardware platform, Compellent developed an innovative SAN that reduces storage costs, cuts storage administration time, and provides continuous data availability.

Today, with over 550 end users, a growing international distribution network of channel partners and award-winning recognition as the most innovative SAN on the market, Compellent is poised to continue its rapid ascent in enterprise storage.

Compellent's integrated feature set, innovative technologies and industry-leading ease of use won high marks from InfoWorld. In fact, Compellent is the only SAN to win consecutive "Best SAN" awards from this leading publication's independent lab.
