DATABeast

DATABeast

Full Service Storage System
DATABeast™, a member of the Flexible Storage Platform™, is a complete fibre-channel SAN (Storage Area Network) storage system that can scale from a few TBs to several petabytes (PBs), and provides all the storage services required to manage and protect data–including replication, thin provisioning, snapshots, virtualization, mirroring and more. It performs the same functions in a fibre channel environment that the Nexsan iSeries does for iSCSI environments, consolidating large amounts of storage into a single, high-density, energy-efficient and easy-to-manage solution that can be expanded economically.

DATABeast is integrated with Nexsan's other storage systems, and as with all Nexsan products offers the energy-saving benefits of AutoMAID® technology to substantially reduce power and cooling costs. The solution provides all necessary storage, software, and infrastructure in a pre-assembled and pre-configured system, with all redundant components installed and cabled. DATABeast can store up to 1PB of data in a standard 42U rack, and can scale up to 6PB in a single system–all at costs that are significantly less when compared to competitive solutions.

As with all Nexsan solutions, DATABeast is built for enterprise-class applications, providing tier-1 full redundancy and high performance at tier-2 prices. It's very easy to install and use. And DATABeast includes technologies that provide a combination of cost-effective high density, space efficiency and energy savings.
