Testing & Deployment

Compellent Takes the Time and Risk Out of New Deployments.

Compellent speeds deployment of new software. With Compellent, testing and deployments can occur online, ensuring rapid access to the latest applications and resources and minimizing weekend administration.

The Problem:
You need to deploy new software quickly, but:

• Current allocation methods require excess storage to be procured upfront
• New servers take hours to loading operating system and system software
• Testing with production data results requires a duplicate copy and impacts system availability
• Deployments must be scheduled off hours
• Recovery from unsuccessful deployments is slow

Our Solution:
Compellent allows administrators to quickly create new volumes online to satisfy upfront operating system and database requirements without requiring physical disk space. Ability to boot from SAN readies new servers in minutes — speeding new deployments.

Space efficient Replays allow you to test with real production data and quickly roll back to the initial state without impacting system availability — reducing the risk of new deployments.

• Allocate capacity to any volume without requiring physical disk space
• Boot from SAN readies servers in minutes
• Virtualized disk pool available to all applications
• Space efficient, time-based Replays quickly replicate production data for testing or migration
• Replays can be mapped to any server without impacting system availability
• Roll back in minutes to initial state without needing to restore
