Apple Xserve and Mac Pro Storage

Storage for the Apple and Mixed OS Environments


NexSAN recently released the NexSAN SATABeastXi, the first high density, energy efficient storage solution built for the Xserve and Mac Pro markets.

It delivers the highest density storage solution available with 42TB of storage in only 4U of rack space.

Delivering the only dual function Fibre Channel and iSCSI connectivity with wire-speed performance, the SATABeast Xi is flexible, scalable and completely OS independent to easily support a broad range of storage and computing infrastructures. While it is optimized for the Apple Xserve and Mac Pro environments, it can be used as a storage solution in mixed environments with equal ease.

Based on the proven technology of Nexsan's award-winning SATABeast, the SATABeast Xi provides the market with a high density, plug and play solution that is complementary to Xserve's existing storage options.

SATABeast Xi is designed specifically for Xserve and Mac Pro, complementing those environments in both physical look and feel, and it's easy to use GUI will be familiar to Leopard users.

Optimized for the Xserve and Mac Pro markets, SATABeast Xi delivers high end performance at an exceptional price.

SATABeast Xi is designed for primary storage of large data set applications like uncompressed, real-time HDTV as well as multi-stream and analog TV signals and high quality video editing with no frame drops.

It also is ideal for addressing secondary storage applications and disk-to-disk backup in which online access to data delivers superior business continuity and data protection as well as instant access to large volumes of data.

AutoMAID™ (Massive Array of Idle Disks) allows SATABeast Xi to place its disk drives in an idle state to conserve energy yet provide near-instantaneous access to data. This breaks new ground in the Xserve market where no other energy efficient storage solution of this caliber exists.
