Mavenspire is the premier Compellent partner in the Mid-Atlantic region. We consider Compellent a key partner in our Data Management and Next Generation Data Center solutions. We implement Compellent's Storage Center as a best-of-breed product that brings extensive advantages to our customers at an affordable price point. Our technical staff members are highly-trained in Compellent technologies, and have considerable experience in Compellent implementations.

We design our Compellent solutions to use combinations of Linux, virtualization technologies, blade servers, and geographically-diverse data replication, implementing the best storage architecture for each individual customer's needs. Compellent's unique, innovative feature sets bring the following advantages :

• Automatic tiered storage : high-use data is stored on faster (and more expensive) disks, low-use data goes to slower (and cheaper) disks
• Thin provisioning : over-allocate to your heart's content without wasting disk space, since space is only used when data is actually written
• Remote replication : enable disaster recovery replication to remote sites, and Thin Replication technology consumes less space and reduces hardware, bandwidth and management costs
• Instant replay : space efficient and unlimited data backups, even for database and email, and boot from SAN technology
• Enterprise management : a complete, web-based overview of your system, with simple tools -- "the only SAN so sophisticated, it's simple"

Compellent is a leading provider of enterprise-class network storage solutions that are highly scalable, feature rich and designed to be 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.

The Compellent Solution

Compellent was founded by network storage and virtualization pioneers Phil Soran, John Guider and Larry Aszmann - executives with decades of storage experience and a proven track record for 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.
