180TB in 4U or 360TB in 8U with E60X expansion
chassis, supporting 8GB Fibre Channel, 10GbE and iSCSI!High Density Storage
The ™ is Nexsan's next generation
of high-density and energy-efficient RAID storage, upping the ante over
previous generations by delivering a storage solution that accommodates 60
disks. As such, the E60 is significantly faster than our BEAST family of
products. It provides 180TBs in only 4U and, thanks to Nexsan's AutoMAID®
technology, reduces energy costs by up to 87% - making it the most
energy-efficient enterprise-class storage system on the market.
The E60 contains four 8Gbit Fibre Channel ports or four
10GbE ports
with the ability in the future to add a second IO card, and two 1Gbit iSCSI
ports to deliver more bandwidth and connectivity. The E60 seamlessly combines
SATA, SAS, and SSD drives to give IT administrators a high degree of
flexibility, and its innovative active drawer technology allows the E60 to be
safely serviced by one person while remaining in full production - a significant
improvement over competitive systems that typically require several people to
replace a single disk or fan.

Features
|
Benefits
|
| Up to 60 Disks
|
Unsurpassed storage
density and capacity in 4U. |
| Mix SAS, SATA, and SSD
drives |
Optimize storage for
cost, capacity, and performance to meet the needs of varying

| Active Drawer
Technology |
Allows one person to
easily gain access to hot-swappable disks and fans, in any of the
three sliding drawers, which remain operational when opened.
|
| High Availability
|
Can be configured so
there is no single point of failure between the servers and storage
system, or within the storage system. All power, fans, disks, and
I/O ports are fully redundant. |
| Active / Active
|
When both controllers
are health, they each service storage requests, delivering twice the
performance of the active/passive architecture offered by others.
|
| Energy Savings
|
AutoMAID is the
industry’s most sophisticated power management system. Drives which
contain backups or occasionally accessed data can be powered down
when not being used, saving up to 87% on electricity and cooling
costs. |
| Anti-vibration Design
|
Hard drives are
mounted so that all disks are not spinning in the same direction.
This, plus the advanced anti-vibration chassis combine to provide
unprecedented hard drive MTBFs. |
| Cool Drive Technology
|
The chassis is
designed to deliver uniform, plentiful airflow that is not subject
to a single point of failure. The hot-swappable fan on the front of
a drawer pulls in air, and two fans at the rear push the air out.
|
| Fibre Channel and
iSCSI SAN Connectivity |
Each controller
provides two 8Gb/sec Fibre Channel ports, and two 1Gb/s iSCSI
connections – all four ports can be used simultaneously in SAN or
direct-attached applications. |
| Revolutionary Ease of
Administration |
A built-in Web server
utilizes the dedicated 100Mb/s Ethernet port to deliver an
industry-leading GUI that sets the gold standard for ease of
management. |
| 4GB Battery-backed
Cache per Controller |
The two RISC engines
on each controller share a 4GB high speed cache which is supplied
with enough battery power to permit it to be saved to flash memory
in the event of a sudden loss of power. |
| Hardware RAID
|
Supports RAID 0, 1,
1+0, 4, 5, and 6 using two dedicated hardware RAID engines per
controller. RAID6 protects against the failure of two drives in a
RAID set. |
| Automatic RAID Set
Maintenance |
In the event of a
drive failure, spare drives are automatically added to a RAID set
and a RAID set rebuild is run – all without any manual intervention
being required. Administrator can receive email alerts, SNMP alerts,
or monitor the storage system’s health remotely. |
| Flexible Storage
Configuration |
Supports multiple RAID
sets and multiple volumes per set with full LUN security and up to
254 LUNS per system. |
| Redundant Power
|
Dual redundant
220-240V power supplies |

Green Storage
NexSAN offers the first and only high performance, high capacity RAID
storage systems to provide the energy saving benefits of MAID (Massive
Array of Idle Disks). SATABeast employs Nexsan's revolutionary AutoMAID™
energy saving technology transparently place SATABeast disk drives into
an idle state vastly reducing power consumption and operational costs.
AutoMAID delivers the cost-saving benefits of MAID (Massive Array of
Idle Disks) but without the limitations of slow access times and special
host software. Nexsan's AutoMAID is granular to an individual drive or
RAID set and offers multiple levels of energy savings enabling users to
determine the right level of access speed and energy savings for their
environment. AutoMAID is the first MAID architecture that supports VTL
(Virtual Tape Libraries), full file format D2D and standard high
performance RAID implementations.
By integrating Nexsan's AutoMAID™ technology into our high
performance, multipurpose SATA storage arrays, users now have the flexibility to
support multiple applications within the same storage subsystem. AutoMAID is
user-selectable allowing this feature to be implemented as desired. AutoMAID can
be applied selectively by drive units and can be disabled for volumes requiring
the very best response time.
Key Points
• E60 with AutoMAID can cool all drives at 100% activity (even with one or
two fans
 failed, even in a hot room)
• MAID reduces operational costs
• Nexsan’s AutoMAID gains the benefits of MAID without the limitations
AutoMAID Defined
• AutoMAID automatically reduces power consumption and heat generation on idle
drives
• Trade-off between response times and power savings are user configurable
• AutoMAID behavior happens automatically and transparently to host – no
software changesrequired
• AutoMAID is analogous to power saving modes on laptops
• Typical configuration settings:
- 30% savings – after 5 minutes of
idle time, drives are programmed to unload heads and slow
down to 4000 RPM. Very fast recovery time.
- 52% savings – after 5 minutes of
idle time, drives are programmed to spin down. Recovery time
on the order of 30 seconds.
AutoMAID Safety Features
• In maximum power saving modes, drive spin up is sequenced to reduce power
surges
• Drives automatically wake up for periodic surface scan to ensure data
integrity (typically, once a week for a few hours – user configurable)
• AutoMAID feature has no impact on performance if left on in data-intensive
server applications – busy systems will never invoke the AutoMAID behavior
• Only two simple configuration settings – the timeout and the level of power
savings desired
