Nexsan Technologies' SATABeast & SASBeast

Extreme density storage with revolutionary power saving technology

SATABeast was designed from the ground up to set new standards for high-capacity storage systems - providing up to 84TB in only 4U. It features Dual function Fibre Channel and iSCSI connectivity with wire-speed performance and throughput of up to 900MB/sec. Flexible, scalable and completely OS independent, SATABeast easily supports a broad range of storage infrastructures

Ideal for Primary or Secondary storage

For enterprise class environments where reliability is an absolute, SATABeast’s high availability architecture features full redundancy across all active components. Blazing wire-speed read/write throughput and high IOPS performance make SATABeast the perfect choice for data-intensive applications.

Alternatively, the SATABeast provides the speed, fault tolerance and high availability to deliver superior data protection while its unmatched capacity easily handles enormous volumes of files. SATABeast enables unprecedented amounts of data to be cost-effectively stored and instantly accessed.

Nexsan's revolutionary AutoMAID™ energy saving technology greatly reduces power consumption and operating costs.
Full Enterprise class performance and reliability Dual function Fibre Channel and iSCSI connectivity with wire-speed performance.
Flexible, scalable and completely OS independent, SATABeast easily supports a broad range of storage infrastructures.

2 big needs. 1 small solution. Conquer transaction performance and high capacity in the same storage system. Whether you need high performance (for Exchange) or high capacity (for disk to disk backup, file servers or storing large amounts of content), SASBeast provides the speed and capacity to meet the broadest range of storage requirements.

Built for Performance...

Blazing SAS IOPS and read/write throughput performance make SASBeast the perfect choice for transactional and/or database intensive applications (Exchange, SQL, Oracle, etc.). SASBeast’s high availability architecture features full redundancy across all active components and delivers industry leading reliability for enterprise class environments.

And Capacity...

Innovatively engineered to reliably mix SAS and SATA disks in the same SASBeast chassis, the user is provided separate storage tiers for different applications. Use the SAS storage tier for performance intensive applications and the SATA storage tier for capacity intensive applications. Nexsan is changing the rules of storage by allowing the user to meet the broadest range of storage requirements in a single chassis.

High speed – blazing SAS IOPS and read/write throughput performance
High density – 42 drive bays in only 4U providing up to 18.9TB of SAS capacity
Flexible – combine SAS and SATA drives in the same chassis for separate storage tiers
Reliable – enterprise-class quality with fully redundant components
Energy Efficiency – Nexsan's AutoMAID™ ultra green technology delivering up to 60% in energy savings

AutoMAID

Nexsan's evolutionary AutoMAID (Automatic Massive Array of Idle Disks) energy saving technology transparently places disk drives into an idle state to vastly reduce power and cooling costs. AutoMAID delivers the cost-effective benefits of MAID 2.0 without the limitations of slow access times and special host software.

AutoMAID is granular to an individual drive or RAID set and offers multiple levels of energy savings. AutoMAID is user selectable enabling users to determine the right level of response time performance to energy savings. AutoMAID is the first MAID 2.0 architecture that supports VTL, full file format D2D and standard high performance RAID implementations.
