High Density, Expandable Storage System For Apple Environments
Nexsan's SATABeast Xi®, a member of the Flexible Storage Platform™, is a high-capacity storage system ideal for applications requiring very high capacity and storage density provided in a minimal amount of rack space. SATABeast Xi is identical to SATABeast, except that the Xi has been optimized specifically for storage applications that run predominantly in Apple Xserve and Mac Pro systems. This optimization includes a configuration targeted at rich media applications, as well as a cosmetic beveled appearance that fits right in with the look and feel of other Apple products.
  
With its storage density of 84TB offered through 42 drive bays, SATABeast Xi's small 4U footprint is targeted at Apple storage applications where ultra-high capacity is paramount. And, when using the new 8Gbit fiber channel controller, SATABeast can scale to 102 disks by attaching the Nexsan E60X 60 drive expansion chassis. By employing the latest SATA Drives, SATABeast Xi delivers the industry's best price/performance value in a scalable disk solution, making it the smart choice for medium-sized businesses and mid-tier deployments in large organizations.
As with all Nexsan solutions, SATABeast Xi 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 SATABeast Xi includes technologies that provide a combination of cost-effective high density, space efficiency and Nexsan's AutoMAID® (Massive Array of Idle Disks) level 3 energy-saving technology, which enables SATABeast Xi to save up to 60% in energy costs.
