Dell bringing Compellent features to mid-tier storage aimed at APAC

 Dell has announced that it is launching a new mid-tier range of storage arrays, aimed at the mid-tier fibre channel market in the Asia-Pacific region.

 The first product to appear in the new mid-tier range will be the SC4020, a 24‐drive storage area network that can support up to 408 terabytes of storage capacity, occupies 2U of space, and makes use of software based on that found in the company's Compellent line.

"This is a 2U box, it is dual-processor, it supports flash, it supports spinning disks. It basically is a Compellent, or what you knew as a Compellent, in every way, shape, or form," Atkinson said.

As part of the package for the storage array, Dell is offering perpetual software licensing, which Atkinson claims sets Dell apart from its rivals.
