Dell Unveils Storage Solutions Strategy For India

Dell has unveiled its comprehensive storage portfolio, expanding existing solutions with the recent global acquisitions to give customers the choice to build an integrated storage infrastructure using different technologies such as fibre or iSCSI to meet their needs in the virtual era. Reiterating this storage focus, Dell also announced the India availability of solutions from its recent acquisition of Compellent Technologies, Inc.

Understanding the need and importance of data management for the organisations, Dell brings a storage portfolio in the industry across DAS, NAS, SAN and back-up solutions and strong FC-based solutions. A key trend is the growth of iSCSI storage solutions, and in this fastest growing storage technology, Dell is playing a pioneering role with EqualLogic, to make storage simple, affordable and capable. EqualLogic’s iSCSI approach is of particular interest to medium sized businesses as it allows them the flexibility of larger enterprises, with simplicity of deployment and management, reducing cost and complexity.

Compellent’s Fluid Data technology combines a powerful data movement engine, intelligent software and modular hardware that can help cut costs up to 80 percent. The acquisition of Compellent complements Dell’s strategic acquisitions of EqualLogic, Scalent, Ocarina and Exanet by extending Dell’s key intelligent infrastructure tenants of automation, optimisation, scalability and virtualisation.
