1 1 of 8 Dell Compellent Storage Center Introduction The Compellent Storage Center is a block storage system aimed at the mid-tier enterprise market. The newest model is the SC8000 which replaces the earlier Model 40 although the Model 40 will continue to be available through Dell calls their design Fluid Data Architecture. Compellent calls their design Fluid Data Architecture. The concept of Fluid Data that is embodied with the architecture of the Compellent systems is that data can be automatically stored, moved, exported, or Highlights Dual controller block storage Virtualization of attached disks Thin Provisioning Snapshots Remote Replication Add-on NAS imported based on the intelligence in the Compellent system. The advanced features of the Compellent system are centered on managing and moving data to optimize the storage. The Compellent Storage Center is a dual controller design with redundant components that allow for failover in the case of failure of a controller and continued operation in the case of failure of other components. The dual controller system uses communication through switches to detect failure in the paired controller and handle the failover. Physical disks are virtualized with blocks to be stored or retrieved managed across the disks in virtual volumes. Using the indirection with the block locations not tied to specific disks prior to storing allows for the features such as automated tiering, use of all physical resources, and redistribution of data to avoid hotspots to be implemented. The virtualized architecture with blocks being handled independently also gives flexibility in handling of the RAID protection and the ability to do wide striping allowing for more simultaneous disk access. The cache management allows for multiple threads to access cache with read-ahead algorithm for read caching of data in system memory and a separate write cache mirrored across the controllers. The write cache is battery backed to maintain data in the case of a failure. I/O operations are monitored and optimized for performance by merging contiguous block requests into a single request to minimize physical disk revolutions, sorting I/O request to minimize seek operations, and deep tagged command queuing for multiple outstanding I/O requests to disks. Usage The Dell Compellent Storage Center system is a block storage device targeted for environments that have performance and advanced feature requirements typically in the mid-tier enterprise. Any application that requires block storage can use the Compellent system. The add-on NAS is a server with NAS software loaded and would be an independent NAS implementation.
2 2 of 8 Characteristics - Performance The Dell Compellent is a dual node, active-active system which should have good performance. No performance data has been made available at this time. - Availability The system is fully redundant with no single point of failure. The controller has an automated failover process. - Replication for BC/DR Asynchronous remote replication is available for BC/DR volume usages. Applications - The Dell Compellent Storage Center is targeted at applications that use block I/O. - The base set of included feature such as snapshot and remote replication are expected with tier 1 applications. The Dell system integrated with VSS for Windows environments. System environments - The Compellent Storage Center is a block storage system accessed using Fibre Channel and iscsi with standard drivers on host systems. Deployment and Administration - The Compellent system is known as an easy to install and easy to administer system. Customers should be able to install and configure the system or use services people from the reseller. Potential The Dell Compellent Storage Center is a modern architecture with virtualization of all attached storage and a sophisticated tiering implementation. Dell should be able to continue this architecture for a long time, adding more high value features such as synchronous replication, encryption and compression. Link to vendor site for specifications:
