Comparison of Enterprise Flash Array Storage features of Dell Compellent (discontinued) and NetBackup Flex Appliances
All in all this series great in addressing issues applications that need flash storage as a backend storage supply. It addresses the need for fast, responsive servers that need to boot quickly. It is easy to use and for the most part there are few issues and none that can't be addressed/fixed quickly.

Dell Compellent support (Co-Pilot) and the add-on service (Optimize) are critical services that Dell Compellent does very well. Alerts from the array are sent to Co-Pilot where tickets are automatically generated and customers are notified of events. Of greater importance at times is the proactive support Co-Pilot and Optimize provide by contacting us of inefficiencies in the array and consulting on resolutions.
Enterprise Manager (Dell's "single pane of glass" management framework) is a useful tool for configuration/evaluation of the array and other Compellent products.
Ease of management. From firmware upgrades to managing server volumes the process is much simpler than with other arrays.

The GUI could be a little more updated with a lot more information regarding usage.
There could be some assistance with high I/O times where snapshots go to consolidate. There seems to be issues when that attempts to occur, and there will times where the virtual machine stuns due to the I/O intensity.
Modification of multiple volumes or the creation of multiple volumes is a pain in the DSM management console.

This is not solely based on the support engineers themselves but more so that the logging and gotcha's that their array has. There have been multiple times where logs are pulled, but the folder is not large enough, and it crashes the array. Other times there are certain aspects that support either does not know of or isn't knowledgable about how to look at particular issues that could be causing problems.

We selected Compellent solely based on price. Honestly I would rate it only slightly better than a QNAP we used (which was even cheaper). If performance and reliability are factors in your decision (and they should be) I would recommend looking at something like a VNXe.

1) Storage: Reduce storage cost by replacing with Veritas intelligent deduplication.
2) Space
Save valuable floor space by combining both the backup server and deduplication storage into one appliance.
3) Power and Cooling
As an ENERGY STAR compliant backup appliance, the NetBackup 5330 reduces floor space and power consumption, letting you to
do more with your IT budget.
4) Robust Greater performance compared to the NetBackup 5230: Up to 3X faster backup, 5.8X faster recovery, and 4.9X faster replication. 5) Greater density
Delivers more TB per rack unit (RU) which reduces floor space requirements and lowers power and cooling costs.
6) Intelligent end-to-end deduplication
Reduces the size of backups by up to 50 times and network bandwidth utilization by up to 99 percent, so you can backup and replicate faster.
7) Flexible deduplication options
Deduplication at source, media server, or target; inline or post-process.
