High Density, Highest Performance Storage System
The Nexsan E18™, a member of the Flexible Storage Platform™, is Nexsan's next generation of high performance, high density and energy-efficient storage solution. Upping the ante over Nexsan's SASBoy® 14-drive 3U solution, the E18 delivers 18 drive bays in only 2U–nearly double the capacity per U compared to its predecessor, with well over 10TB of high-performance, redundant SAS. As such, the E18 is designed for applications that require enterprise-class performance at a mid-market price.
  
The system employs the new Nexsan E-Series RAID controller–available in single or dual controller configurations–and contains up to four 8Gb Fibre Channel ports and up to four 1Gb iSCSI ports to deliver higher bandwidth and path resiliency. Nexsan's Active Drawer Technology™ enables two sliding, active drawers that hold nine drives in each, allowing them to be quickly and easily serviced by one person while remaining online.
The E18 is ideal for transactional applications as well as storage for virtualized environments that utilize Windows, Linux, VMware, Xen or Hyper-V–which access storage randomly, require high performance and require no single-point-of-failure configurations.
