Hardy: Server virtualisation is only half the story

Server and storage virtualisation infrastructure VAR VirtualizeIT has partnered with vendor Compellent for its storage area network (SAN) technology.

VirtualizeIT will add Compellent’s Storage Centre SAN to its virtualisation portfolio. Compellent’s automated tiered storage and thin provisioning capabilities will offer VirtualizeIT customers flexibility when planning and building out their virtual storage infrastructure.

Julian Box, managing director at VirtualizeIT, said: “With several unique features and its modular nature, the Compellent SAN will allow us to offers our customers additional capabilities and strengthen our storage offerings.

“Compellent clearly offers a dedicated channel model, which is fully supported by expert in-house technical, sales and support teams. Such an investment in the channel demonstrates Compellent's commitment to helping our business generate both new and repeat revenue opportunities.”

Compellent chose VirtualizeIT because of its strategic approach to deploying virtualisation technology and infrastructure.

Andy Hardy, managing director of international sales at Compellent, said: “Server virtualisation is the first step towards achieving a fully-virtualised environment, but it's only half the story. Businesses need to combine server and storage virtualisation in order to achieve the full efficiencies, cost-savings and green advantages.

“This integrated approach is core to VirtualizeIT's business proposition and will further extend the rapid adoption of Compellent's next-generation SAN solution throughout the region.”

With offices in the UK, Ireland and Channel Islands, VirtualizeIT is soon to open new operations in the US and UAE.
