SATABeast
42 TB – 4U 42 Drive SATA with iSCSI, 4GB FC support
 
 
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
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 single, scalable solution. With unparalleled density, availability and energy efficiency, SATABeast maximizes the return on your storage hardware investment.
Energy Efficient Performance
Nexsan delivers 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. AutoMAID™ is granular to the individual drive level and enables users to determine the level of energy savings desired.
Enterprise Class Features
 Designed for enterprise class environments where reliability is an absolute, SATBeast’s high availability architecture features full redundancy across all active components. Blazing wire-speed read/write throughput and highboys performance make SATBeast the perfect choice for data-intensive applications.

SATABeast is also ideal for 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.
Flexible Connectivity
SATABeast gives users the flexibility to utilize FibreChannel or iSCSI connectivity or both simultaneously. Flexible, scalable and completely OS independent, SATABeast offers dual function FC and iSCSI connectivity with wire-speed throughput performance.
Key Features
SATABeast is architected to be the industry’s most complete and cost effective high capacity storage system. SATABeast’s advanced mechanical design provides superior cooling for optimal thermal operation, reduces drive vibration and delivers outstanding energy efficiency in an extreme density (42 drives in 4U high) form factor. SATABeast’s unique design extends individual drive life and provides TCO savings year over year.
 
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 an scales to hundreds of terabytes of capacity in a single rack SATABeast easily meets the demands of the most capacity hungry storage environments.

Dual controllers using Nexsan’s award winning Performance SATA™ design provide blistering throughput performance with 42 spindles that can be segmented into multiple RAID sets or a single large storage pool.

All individual SATABeast components are fully redundant and hot swappable.

SATABeast has full cache coherency design to ensure data integrity even with power loss. The SATABeast’s NexScan management interface is built into the SATABeast controller, alleviating the need to have a separate server or application manage the storage array. This sophisticated management utility monitors and reports the status of all subsystems over a 10/100/1000 network port. Included in NexScan are Tele-Guard™, Nexsan’s phone-home feature for user notification of errors or prediction of error, and our WorldView feature enables multibox management.

LUN Mapping allows users to easily configure the massive disk capacity for dozens of servers or one
