Nexsan iSeries™ is the
perfect solution for server virtualization, databases, file storage, data
consolidation and multiple data storage requirements where performance and
scalability are a must and simple IP deployment is desired. All storage services are embedded onto the Nexsan
iSeries including virtualization, snapshots, replication, mirroring, data
migration and more. Users have the ability to create and control 1000s of
virtual volumes supporting multiple applications and storage pools
simultaneously.
By reliably incorporating SAS and SATA in the
same storage system, users no longer have to choose between a performance or
capacity driven iSCSI SAN system. Separate storage pools can be created for the
needs of different applications from databases to backup.
With an all-inclusive Tier 1 feature set combined
with industry leading performance, reliability and energy efficiency, Nexsan
iSeries is delivering the iSCSI SAN you need...at a price to meet your budget.

Scale Capacity
with Performance
Nexsan iSeries adds performance each time additional disks are added.
Nexsan iSeries capacity is expanded by adding more Nexsan SAS/SATA
storage systems. Each additional Nexsan SAS/SATA storage system has its
own performance engine which includes up to 4GB of cache and 4 RAID
engines. |

AutoMAID™ Energy Saving Technology
Nexsan's evolutionary
AutoMAID (Automatic Massive Array of Idle Disks) energy saving technology
transparently places disk drives into an idle state to vastly reduce power and
cooling costs. AutoMAID delivers the cost-effective benefits of MAID 2.0
without the limitations of slow access times and special host software.
AutoMAID is granular to an individual drive or
RAID set and offers multiple levels of energy savings. AutoMAID is user
selectable enabling users to determine the right level of response time
performance to energy savings. AutoMAID is the first MAID 2.0 architecture that
supports VTL, full file format D2D and standard high performance RAID
implementations.
Key Points
- AutoMAID reduces power and
cooling costs
- Nexsan’s AutoMAID delivers the
benefits of MAID without the limitations
- Available on Nexsan Assureon,
SATABoy, SATABeast, and SATABeast Xi
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 changes required
- Typical configuration settings:
- Level 1: Heads Unloaded
- 15% to 20% savings
- Sub-second recovery time
- Level 2: Heads Unloaded,
slows to 4000 RPM
- 35% to 45% savings
- 15 second recovery time
- Level 3: Stops spinning
(sleep mode; powered on)
- 60% to 70% savings
- 30 to 45 second recovery time
AutoMAID Safety Features
- In maximum power saving mode,
drive spin up is sequenced to reduce power surges
- Drives automatically wake up for
periodic surface scan to ensure data integrity (user configurable)
- AutoMAID has no impact on
performance if left on in data-intensive server applications
- Only two simple configuration
settings – "timeout" and "power savings desired"
