Dell on Thursday unveiled a new storage operating system the company said helps unify its former EqualLogic and Compellent lines and paves the way for a more cloud-like way to manage storage.
The new Dell Storage Center Operating System 7, or SCOS 7, addresses a number of customer requirements as they look for better ways to manage their growing storage environments, said Travis Vigil, executive director of storage marketing for the Round Rock, Texas-based vendor.
“We’re adding flexibility, decreasing the total cost of ownership, and ensuring investment protections,” Vigil told CRN. “This all comes from an operating system with the ability to move volumes across our SC and PS lines, and to migrate live volumes as needed.”
