Nexsan Answers the Call for High Density Apple Xserve and Mac Storage
Lately I’ve been contacting RADirect customers that I know work in Mac environments to introduce them to Nexsan’s newly launched (read press announcement) SATABeast Xi SATA array – designed specifically for Apple Xserve and Mac Pro systems.
Like the standard SATABeast SATA array, the Xi version has all the enterprise-class features you’d expect, at an extremely low price (as low as $1,250 per TB):
• High density, with up to 42 TB in only 4U
• Greener – extreme energy efficiency saves on operating costs
• Flexible, scalable, and completely OS independent
• Single or dual RAID controllers
• Redundant, hot swappable components
And it's been modified for use in Apple environments:
• Look and feel - the SATABeast Xi’s form factor and GUI interface have been redesigned to be more familiar and comfortable to Apple / Mac users.
• Looks great in Safari / Leopard interfaces.
• Ideal for data intensive multimedia applications like uncompressed real-time HDTV and high quality video editing.
• Also compatible with non-Apple servers and workstations, so it's perfect for mixed OS environments.
• No premium pricing – the SATABeast Xi is available at the same price point as the standard SATABeast.
For more details, you can download the complete SATABeast and SATABeast Xi SATA array data sheets from RADirect’s web site – start here.
If you’ve already deployed the SATABeast Xi, I’d love to hear from you.
