Compellent Signs on as Sponsor of PowerShell.com Community Site

Joins Growing List of Supporters and Contributors of Community Content

Dr. Tobias Weltner, a leading PowerShell expert and Microsoft PowerShell MVP, today announced Compellent, a leading provider of enterprise-class network storage solutions, as a new sponsor of www.PowerShell.com. Compellent joins a growing list of companies that are contributing content to and sponsoring PowerShell.com including Idera, a leading provider of management and administration solutions for Microsoft Windows Servers, and /n software inc., a leading provider of professional internet development tools and components.

PowerShell.com serves as a primary resource to help increase the adoption and use of PowerShell by providing learning materials, expert guidance, news, forums and libraries for sharing best practices. The site is designed to serve as a place for PowerShell people to congregate, communicate, collaborate and construct new ideas.

As a provider of PowerShell-enabled virtualized network storage products, Compellent shares the vision of promoting the adoption of Windows PowerShell through its sponsorship of PowerShell.com. Compellent's Storage Center Command Set for Windows PowerShell streamlines system management and volume administration with more than 60 PowerShell cmdlets.

"We believe PowerShell is an ideal scripting environment to automate the management of Compellent and Windows enterprise environments," said Steve Anderson, Director of Alliances at Compellent. "We chose to sponsor PowerShell.com because it is a premier resource offering a wealth of knowledge and content to PowerShell users."

"Compellent's expertise in using PowerShell to effectively manage data storage will greatly benefit the PowerShell.com community," said Dr. Weltner. "New members are signing up daily to leverage the growing content on PowerShell.com including the 'Practical PowerShell' video series recently added to the site."
