Better Economics

Data is growing exponentially in size and complexity, challenging organizations to improve how they store, manage and protect all their data without increasing budgets or staff. DATABeast overcomes these challenges by extending enterprise services to all digital assets, while reducing storage and management costs.

Reduce CAPEX - DATABeast is a complete system and includes all required storage services. Most storage systems require third-party products to perform backup, replication, mirroring or snapshots; with DATABeast, everything is integrated and included with no additional costs thanks to an all-in-one pricing model.

Conserve data center space - DATABeast possesses over 2.5 times more capacity per rack than traditional 14- and 16-bay storage systems. With 42TB in only 4U of rack space, Nexsan DATABeast is a leading storage consolidation solution for optimizing data center space.

Energy-Saving SAS and SATA

The DATABeast is integrated with SASBoy and SATABeast RAID storage and offers the energy-saving benefits of Nexsan's revolutionary AutoMAID™ technology. AutoMAID™ (Automatic Massive Array of Idle Disks) allows Nexsan storage systems to place their disk drives into several energy-saving levels without compromising application performance. This powerful combination of performance and energy savings enables users to lower the cost of owning storage.
