Tiered Storage

Sunstar company would like to make you aware that we can carry a line of storage that supports both SATA and SAS drives within the same chassis.

NexSAN recently released Tiered Storage in both their 14 Bay and 42 Bay chassis. Many of our clinets see absolute value in tiering their storage. In the recent past they had no option but to add another shelf of storage. This is no longer the case. NexSAN has thoroughly tested their solutions with 15K and 7.2K disk drives and they run just fine. Speed and heat is not an issue.
Consider adding a second controller within the chassis supporting mixed drives and your performance will jump.
