  • Eliminate the need for array-specific professional services

Better Economics

DATA IS GROWING EXPONENTIALLY IN SIZE AND COMPLEXITY, challenging organizations to improve how they store, manage and protectall their data without increasing budgets or staff. DATABeast overcomes these challenges by extending enterprise services to all your digital assets, while reducing storage and management costs as data grows.

Ready to Go

INSTALLED AND IN PRODUCTION IN JUST A FEW HOURS

DATABeast provides all storage services, hardware, storage systems and infrastructure needed to centrally store, protect and manage large amounts of data. DATABeast is delivered pre-assembled and pre-configured with all components already installed and cabled within the DATABeast “Ready to Go” rack. Simply attach it to your network and you are ready to configure your storage resources and deliver them to your applications.

DATABeast Includes:

  • DATABeast Controllers with DATABeast Storage Services Software
  • DATABeast Management Server(s)
  • DATABeast FC Switches and IP Switches
  • DATABeast Rack
  • Multiple 42 drive / 4U DATABeast SATA Storage Systems
  • Multiple 14 drive / 3U DATABeast SAS Storage Systems
  • Complete cable harness for all components including all storage systems even if rack is not fully populated with all storage systems when ordered.

ALL THE SERVICE YOU NEED TODAY AND INTO THE FUTURE

DATABeast includes all storage feature and services needed to consolidate storage resources into a single management pool. From one interface, administrators can create and administer a few to 1000’s of volumes, perform data migration tasks, thin provision or unprovision volumes, recycle old volume space, expand to multiple petabytes and assign access while remaining in production. All storage services are embedded within the DATABeast, providing In-band control without use of agents.

Key Operational Benefits

  • Streamline saving by expanding capacity, number of volumes and performance independently
  • Simplify administration by centrally managing the entire infrastructure
  • Address the needs of different applications with combined SAN and NAS
  • Ensure continuous access through redundant components and data paths
  • Protect data and sites using snapshots, storage redundancy and remote replication
  • Reduce short and long term costs with data center correct energy efficiently and storage density
  • Reduce complexity and deployment time with a preconfigured, “Ready to Go“ architecture

ENSURE DATA PROTECTION AND BUSINESS CONTINUANCE

DATABeast data protection services create an environment where data and sites are protected against loss. DATABeast makes it fast and easy to restore information, recover a production site and migrate operations to another location.

CONTINUOUS ACCESS TO BUSINESS CRITICAL DATA

DATABeast is designed for mission critical applications and environments.  DATABeast controllers form a redundant “Grid” where a node can take over production for another node. Everything within DATABeast is multi-connected thru independent fabrics. Data can be mirrored to and accessed from separate storage systems through separate nodes. Capacity or performance can be expanded while online to maintain QoS / SLA’s. Data is backed up and protected automatically using snapshots

REMAIN COST-CORRECT A S YOU EXPAND BEYOND THE FIRST RACK

Every data storage environment is different because no two businesses are exactly the same. DATABeast addresses this diversity with a unique architecture that scales the attributes you need without forcing you to invest in others you don’t need. DATABeast’s AutoMAID (MAID 2.0 technology) reduces power and cooling, ensuring long term datacenter cost savings. With DATABeast, your capital expenditure and cost of ownership per terabyte decrease as your data storage environment expands to meet your business needs.

Scale Capacity Independently

  • No capacity keys
  • 4 petabytes per controller pair
  • Add more storage arrays and racks as needed
  • Grow one system to 16 petabytes
  • Add more FC and IP Ports

Scale Performance Independently

  • Add more SAN controller pairs to increase performance
  • Increase IOPs and MBs
  • Manage from a single GUI
  • Upgradable to larger volume quantity packages
  • Increase individual licenses for specific volume types–Snapshots, Thin Provisioned, Mirrors
