Featured Case Studies

• Revision3 Relies on Nexsan Speed & Reliability for Video Production and Backup "Pioneering Internet video network, Revision3, needed a new storage backbone for video production and backup. Nexsan met their needs for performance and density."
• Cloud Storage Provider Saves Costs with Nexsan Efficiency and Reliability "The high cost of rack space led services provider, Mentora, to search for a new storage solution with a smaller footprint. The new storage solution needed to provide higher availability and reliability and handle mixed workloads for both backup and their private virtual platform."
• Ecom Atlantic Achieves High Performance Virtual Storage with Nexsan "After virtualizing its critical business applications, large global coffee, cotton and cocoa merchant, Ecom Atlantic, needed a high-density solution to cost-effectively support its VMware-powered virtual servers and disaster recovery architecture."
• Regional West Medical Center Deploys Assureon Medical Image Archive to Improve Performance and Disaster Recovery "Regional West Medical Center implemented the Horizon Medical ImagingTM picture archiving and communication system (PACS) from McKesson to improve workflow and protection of patient records. The McKesson solution provided immediate improvements for the facility, yet the underlying infrastructure which supported the PACS was outdated, limiting the overall potential of the solution. Additionally, the facility wanted to implement an effective contingency plan that ensured full data replication and disaster recovery."
• Corona-Norco Unified Slashes Power and Space Footprint for Virtual Storage with the Nexsan E60 "Facing dynamically growing volumes of data, the Corona-Norco Unified School District needed to consolidate its virtual storage and data protection environment for better management, infrastructure efficiency and cost control."

Featured Whitepapers

• The Advantages of Storage-based Caching – Storage Switzerland "NAS-based SSD caching may be the ideal solution to the large amount of random I/O generated by virtual environments."
• 6 Tips to Selecting HDD and SSD Drives "Today's wide variety of storage devices have many people confused as to what type of drives to use for what types of data. Added to that, SATA and SAS refer to disk drive interfaces, whereas SSD refers to a particular kind of internal technology. Here are six tips to take the complexity out of selecting HDD and SSD drives with the right performance, cost, density and reliability to meet the task."
• Architecting a Scale-out Design for Scale-up Storage – Storage Switzerland "The ideal infrastructure should have the flexibility to start off simple and inexpensively, yet have the capability to grow into the most demanding requirements. Nexsan storage can do just that, and in this article independent analyst George Crump from Storage Switzerland reveals how a scale-up or scale-out decision can grow to meet your needs, but also fit inside of a management scheme and budget that makes sense."
• The Advantage of Scale-up Storage – Storage Switzerland "While there are many ways to scale storage systems, array-based scale-out storage systems are capturing the attention of data center managers today with claims to resolve many storage challenges, thanks to their ability to scale performance, bandwidth and capacity in unison. Scale-up storage still has a significant role in today's and tomorrow's data center and even has advantages over array-based scale-out storage systems."
• Nexsan and Quantum: Economical Storage Scaling for Cloud Environments – openBench Labs "IT can leverage the capability of the Nexsan E-Series™ array to simultaneously support industry-leading SSD, SAS, and SATA storage in a highly scalable, highly available, SAN-based array. What's more, Nexsan arrays can be used in conjunction with Quantum's StorNext software to create a sophisticated file sharing scheme that many dub a "clustered file system." Nexsan arrays provide an agile infrastructure that can scale and operate economically in a cloud environment."
• Nexsan and QLogic: Strategic End-to-End Visibility for VMs – openBench Labs "The Nexsan Flexible Storage Platform strategy synergistically integrates with QLogic's Adaptive Convergence™ strategy, which covers APIs for HBA and SAN virtualization. A key QLogic driver API provides N_Port ID Virtualization (NPIV) to create virtual HBAs for VMs."
• Nexsan Gets its NAS On – ESG "Nexsan has a decade of success in block-based storage systems built on the principles of ease-of-use, efficiency and enterprise-class. With 10,000 customers, nearly 30,000 systems deployed and a 96% customer satisfaction rating, Nexsan now takes it's obsession with providing feature-rich, easy-to-use and reliable storage systems to the NAS market."
