Dell Compellent
Dell Compellent was a line of enterprise storage area network (SAN) solutions originally developed by Compellent Technologies and later integrated into Dell’s storage portfolio, providing automated tiered storage, data replication, and virtualization-friendly storage for mid-size and large enterprises. The product family was sold through Dell’s direct and channel sales to organizations needing scalable block storage for virtualized and mission-critical workloads. It has since been folded into Dell’s broader storage offerings under the Dell Technologies brand.
