Nexsan Technologies has announced a 45% capacity
increase in its line of SATA storage systems.
The company has implemented Seagate Technology’s new DB35 Series
750GB hard drives to its SATABeast, SATABoy and SATABlade
products. The increased capacity of Seagate’s drives enable total
capacity of the SATABeast to grow from 21TB to 30.5TB in a 4U of
rack space.
SATABoy increases its capacity to 10.5TB in 3U with the
SATABlade now featuring 6TB in a 1U form factor. Each of Nexsan’s
SATA solutions are designed to see use in enhancing digital storage
applications, such as live online data, nearline storage, security,
audio, disc-based backup and disaster recovery.
SATABeast is designed for primary and near-line storage,
disc-to-disc backup, secondary storage and fixed content
archive.
SATABoy has been made to meet the challenges of the most
demanding computing environments such as live online data, fixed
content, tiered storage, broadcast/VOD and other business-critical
applications.
SATABlade is designed for businesses that require the benefits
and performance of a scalable SATA solution in a high density, low
profile form factor. SATABlade features individual drive
independence within a 1U physical architecture that allows access
to eight hot-swappable SATA drives and will see use in
data-intensive primary storage requirements.
