Dell Compellent Storage Center arrays utilize a virtualized architecture. This architecture not only enables technology independence between servers and storage, but it also supports key features such as thin provisioning, automated data tiering, and data protection, all of which enable exceptionally high efficiency in managing data storage. 

The protocol utilized to transport data between servers and storage for High Performance Computing (HPC) and to define a Storage Area Network (SAN) is Fibre Channel(FC). Fibre Channel is an "invisible" protocol, because it is only known to the technicians that implement it and keep it working. This paper will provide an overview of this technology.
