Nexsan leads with ultra-dense energy efficient storage arrays

Nexsan Technologies is offering storage systems featuring Hitachi Global Storage Technologies' new Ultrastar A7K1000 one-terabyte (TB) enterprise-class hard drives, which will add 33% increased capacity over existing configurations.

Date: 20 Jun 2007

Using the industry's highest-capacity hard drives, Nexsan has increased the total capacity of the SATABeast to 42TB, the highest of any RAID system available today, in just 4U of rack space. SATABoy jumps in capacity to 14TB in a 3U configuration and the SATABlade now provides 8TB in a 1U form factor.

Mick Garrett, CTO of I-cubed, a leading provider of geospatial imagery, management and dissemination systems commented - "With the vast amount of high-resolution satellite imagery and aerial photography that we produce for customers, we are always looking for an optimised disk solution that allows us to get the upper hand on our capacity requirements. Since we first introduced Nexsan's SATABeast 2 years ago, the units have performed flawlessly and rapidly become the cornerstone of our storage strategy. Our SATABeast systems enable us to easily and securely manage our disk-intensive image processing applications in the most cost-effective manner. The system's increased capacity with the new Hitachi Ultrastar 1TB drives continues to scale up to suit our growing needs for maximum storage space with a minimum of power consumption and physical floor space to house it."

Unique in the industry, Nexsan offers first high density storage arrays to deliver full enterprise class performance and reliability along with the unparalleled energy saving benefits of AutoMAID (Massive Array of Idle Disks). All Nexsan storage products with AutoMAID help to reduce power consumption and carbon emissions while eliminating the performance compromise of other MAID systems. AutoMAID is the only MAID architecture that supports standard high performance RAID as well as disk-based backup, VTL (Virtual Tape Libraries), and data archiving implementations.

Announced in April 2007, the Hitachi Ultrastar 7K1000 hard drive delivers the industry's highest-capacity 7200 RPM enterprise-class hard drive. The Ultrastar A7K1000 hard drive is the next generation of Hitachi 's popular Enterprise SATA hard drives, which have become known for outstanding reliability in the field with performance to match.
