De-Duplication - a new player in towm
NexSAN's DeDupeSG is a turn-key de-duplication solution with:
Fast write to disk cache
Independent high speed RAID system
Block level deduplication
NAS base system
Replication with global dedupe and yes it is a Green Storage solution.
DeDupe SG delivers performance that is 20% to 100% faster than competitive vendors by combining the latest high speed CPU processing technology with Nexsan’s high speed RAID subsystem. Not only is it faster, DeDupe SG is smarter by first writing and storing backups on its high speed disk cache (deduping at a later time or concurrently) so that backup tasks are completed in a fraction of the time.
NexSAN is not doing this alone. The SATABoy and SATABeast solutions are certainly proven and now with FalconStor software solution, this integrated product is bound to be a winner!

Sunstar at work
Recently we sold a SASBeast from NexSAN Technologies for a large database. With 42 SAS drives spinning at 15,000 RPMS this is one heck of a unit. I am told by the network administrator that the SASBeast is unbelievable fast and although it does not have as much data as their existing SATABeast it is performing beyond their expectations.
We at Sunstar Company continue to offer an excellent selection of storage solutions and we we would very much like to help you select your next RAID storage solution.
Many Thanks

Arena RAID Arrays
In essence Arena offers their chassis with a choice of four host interfaces:
- Certainly the most popular - 4GB Fibre
- New to the market - iSCSI
- New to the market - SAS
- Not to forget the old standard SCSI
Presently Sunstar Company carries the vast majority of the Arena product line with the exception of their very small units. We offer their chassis supporting 12, 16 or 24 disk drives.
As for drives, Arena offers units supporting a choice of SATA or SAS drives.
Controllers and Expansion
Most units come with a single controller - no expansion - what you see is what you get. There are a few boxes that come with again a single controller that supports expansion. Utilizing the SA-6692J (SATA) or the SS-6692J (SAS) JBOD, the existing SAN can be expanded to support an addition 16 drives. Presently there are two models, the SS-8802R (24 Drives - SAS attached) and the SS-8801R (24 Drives- Fibre Attached) that support Redundant Controllers.
With or without.
Sunstar offers these units with or without disk drives. We can configure the RAID array for you with drives of your choice or should you prefer to purchase just the chassis this can be arranged.
The Arena 820SR NAS is a terrific box. We have sold numerous of these units - in many cases multiple units to our cutomer. It supprts CIFS and NFS and has redundancy built in.
