SATABeast Overview

Unleash the power of the SATABeast™ extreme density storage array from Nexsan Technologies. Designed from the ground up to set new standards for high-capacity storage systems, SATABeast delivers the industry's best performance and cost-effectiveness in a scalable disk solution. With unparalleled density, availability and energy efficiency, SATABeast maximizes the return on your storage hardware investment.

Unleash the Beast for

Primary Storage. Designed for enterprise class environments where reliability is an absolute, SATABeast’s high availability architecture features full redundancy across all active components. Blazing wire-speed read/write throughput and high IOPS performance make SATABeast the perfect choice for data-intensive applications.

Secondary Storage and D2D. Disk to Disk Backup. Online access to data means superior business continuity. The SATABeast provides the speed, fault tolerance and high availability to deliver superior data protection while its unmatched capacity easily handles enormous volumes of files. SATABeast enables unprecedented amounts of data to be cost-effectively stored and instantly accessed.

Unprecedented Energy Savings

SATABeast and SATABoy from Nexsan are the first high performance, high capacity RAID storage systems to also offer the energy saving benefits of AutoMAID™ technology. AutoMAID™ (Massive Array of Idle Disks) allows SATABeast to place its disk drives to an idle state to conserve energy yet provide near-instantaneous access to data. SATABeast's unique combination of technologies delivers unsurpassed performance, reliability and cost savings for a broad range of storage requirements. With an extreme density design that provides a compact footprint and scales to 315 cost-correct terabytes of capacity in a single rack, SATABeast easily meets the demands of the most capacity-hungry storage environments.
