Up to 180TB in
4U!
Scalable Enterprise-Class
Storage Expansion
The E60X™, a member of the Flexible Storage
Platform™, delivers the latest high-capacity expansion chassis, uniquely
offering 60 drive bays in only 4U of rack space to give IT professionals the
most storage capacity in the smallest footprint, with enterprise-class
reliability and stellar ease of use. By attaching the E60X expansion chassis
to Nexsan's E60 or
SATABeast® or SASBeast® storage systems,
organizations can achieve new levels of efficiency, with the ability to add
more capacity while reducing power, space and cost.

When compared to other systems, the E60X
delivers three times the capacity, takes up one third of the space and–thanks
to Nexsan's AutoMAID® level 4 technology–consumes up to 87% less energy. Three
self-contained active drawers contain 20 SAS/SATA disk bays in each along with
tachometer-controlled push and pull fan modules. The entire drawer can be
extended for easy servicing while remaining in full production. The E60X
connects to the SATABeast or SASBeast via the expansion ports available on the
new 8Gbit fibre channel Beast controllers.
The E60X 120TB expansion solution does not
require special tools or downtime to add capacity; IT professionals need only
to plug the required disk drives into any unused disk bay. In addition, the
chassis is managed completely by the SASBeast and SATABeast NexScan®
management interface.

That's because–whether you're across town or
halfway around the world–you can manage all Nexsan storage products
remotely. Our management capabilities are intuitive and easy to use. They
require minimal training. And all of our interfaces provide different levels
of security to ensure proper authentication and prevent unwanted users from
gaining access.You can configure
Nexsan E-Series, Beast and Boy products through our unique, secure and
intuitive Web-based GUI tool. The interface uses standard HTML and is
compatible with all mainstream browsers (Internet Explorer, Netscape, Opera,
Mozilla, Firefox, Safari, etc.) that aren't hardware-, software- or
Java™-runtime-specific. The embedded Web-browser GUI operates over the
10/100/1000 port, and supports e-mail alerts and SNMP traps. We also provide
a standard serial port for local and direct system configuration.
In addition to the GUI, Nexsan Storage
Tools – a comprehensive set of storage management software tools for Windows
Server families—make it easy to manage and configure multiple units from a
single GUI. Nexsan Storage Tools provide support for Windows Virtual Disk
Service (VDS) and Microsoft Management Console (MMC), and include MPIO
support for Nexsan RAID storage systems.

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
• E60X 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
