Organizations of all types and sizes are under pressure to boost efficiency, radically cut costs and reduce power consumption. When measured by total cost of ownership (TCO), traditional data storage solutions are inefficient and expensive to maintain, manage, and expand. That makes these traditional storage paradigms increasingly harder to justify. Compellent Storage Center --a highly integrated, feature-rich data storage solution--was designed to lower data storage TCO. Compellent's innovative storage platform helps organizations dramatically reduce both capital and operating expenses, while improving data availability and recovery.

TCO gives organizations a framework that balances the upfront, ongoing, and unexpected costs related to storage. Unfortunately most data storage solutions are built on the traditional paradigm of "more data means more expense" which creates spiraling storage costs. There is one solution, however, that was created from scratch to help reduce storage TCO--Compellent's Storage Center SAN.
