Employees

Compellent Technologies was an enterprise storage company founded in 2002 in Eden Prairie, Minnesota, offering SAN storage arrays with its Data Progression tiered storage technology. The company's Storage Center platform automatically moved data between storage tiers (SSD, FC, SAS) based on access frequency, reducing storage costs while maintaining performance.

Dell acquired Compellent in February 2011 for approximately $960 million after a bidding competition with HP. The acquisition gave Dell an enterprise-grade SAN storage platform that complemented the mid-market EqualLogic iSCSI arrays. Compellent's technology was rebranded as Dell Compellent and later evolved into Dell EMC SC Series storage after Dell's 2016 acquisition of EMC.
