 Nexsan DATABeast combines full-service storage management, scalability and mission-critical availability at a price point targeted for enterprises of all sizes. DATABeast consolidates large amounts of storage into a single, high-density, energy-efficient, easy-to-manage solution that can be economically expanded. - Consolidate multiple Nexsan SAS and SATA storage systems into a single highly managed solution that can grow to several petabytes, addressing different applications and providing tiered storage
- Create custom volumes that precisely address the needs of individual applications, eliminating storage waste
- Use thin provisioning to maximize storage efficiency and eliminate manual volume expansion
- Build large 16TB and 64TB volumes across multiple storage resources
- Migrate data between old and new storage resources within the pool without service disruption
- Grow capacity freely to multiple petabytes without any key restrictions
- Integrate and use DATABeast features with pre-existing / legacy Nexsan storage systems
- Provide block and file (NFS / CIFS) services from the same solution
- Create multiple, persistent, incremental snapshots to recover deleted or inconsistent data to a previous point in time
- Take advantage of Microsoft VSS (Virtual Shadow Service) to make data consistent snapshots
- Use mirroring to maintain an exact real-time copy of production data and volumes locally or remotely across a DWDM or dedicated Fibre Channel connection
- Provide disaster recovery by replicating some or all data and volumes to another DATABeast located at a remote site across an IP LAN, MAN or WAN
- Ensure continuous access during software upgrades or component outage with active / active independent and redundant DATABeast Controller nodes and connectivity infrastructure
- Eliminate down time with highly available storage systems equipped with redundant controllers, power supplies and connectivity
- Reduce power consumption and cooling costs with AutoMAID (MAID 2.0)
- Add additional DATABeast controller pairs to double performance and responsiveness
- Deploy DATABeast within hours with preinstalled and preconfigured racks
The DATABeast’s data protection services create an environment where data and sites are protected against loss because they are easy to restore and quick to recover. If need be, operations can be migrated to another location. The DATABeast provides all necessary storage services, storage systems and infrastructure in a pre-assembled and pre-configured system with all redundant components installed and cabled. The DATABeast is designed to be rolled in, plugged in and set up rapidly. Simply attach it to your network and you are ready to configure your storage resources and deliver them to your applications. Energy-Saving SAS and SATA
The DATABeast is integrated with SASBoy and SATABeast RAID storage and offers the energy-saving benefits of Nexsan's revolutionary AutoMAID™ technology. AutoMAID™ (Automatic Massive Array of Idle Disks) allows Nexsan storage systems to place their disk drives into several energy-saving levels without compromising application performance. This powerful combination of performance and energy savings enables users to lower the cost of owning storage.
