A first in this country

Ingran IT is changing this by revolutionising the traditional approach to storage with the introduction of Compellent’s Storage Centre. It is a complete SAN with automated tiered storage within a single disk enclosure that makes use of Dynanic Block Architecture (DBA) and ‘thin’ provisioning, maximizing existing disk space. Ingran IT is the first to deliver a storage solution to the South African market that features a DBA where storage is allocated and managed at block level rather than with disks.
Says Andre Möller, director at Ingran IT: “Many businesses expand their storage in an ad-hoc fashion that results in a patchwork of point solutions. Compellent’s Storage Center is a complete disk-based solution that includes storage management software to meet the storage needs of the entire organisation – from creation to archiving and deletion of data. In addition, it can cut costs by up to 74% by managing a company’s data differently through DBA and ‘thin’ provisioning.”
