Nexsan Supercharges Infinisan Ataboy Storage Solutions With New 120 GB Drives

Nexsan's InfiniSAN ATAboy, an eight-drive model, and the 14-drive ATAboy2 storage solutions are now available with 120 GB disk drives, boosting capacities to as much as 1.68 TB in a 3u rack mount unit. The capacity boost allows the InfiniSAN solutions to further displace tape backup hardware in multi-terabyte enterprises requiring reliable, high-performance windowless backup.

"Our InfiniSAN solutions provide excellent performance and an outstanding ROI. This latest upgrade gives our customers an even better value compared to slow, unreliable tape backup options," said Diamond Lauffin, Nexsan Executive Vice President. "The market is hearing our message and even traditional tape backup software vendors such as Legato and Computer Associates have bought into our vision and are now including disk to disk (D2D) functionality in their backup products."

Utilizing the ATAboy storage platform, Nexsan's award-winning InfiniSAN D2D disk-to-disk backup solution delivers a next-generation approach to critical data backup that eliminates the performance and reliability limitations of traditional tape-based backup. The innovative InfiniSAN D2D solution combines the cost-correct hard-disk-based RAID hardware with a data management application that provides features surpassing the best tape-based solutions.

Nexsan's message of a better backup solution has been widely embraced by the industry as the company has consistently won plaudits from the press and analysts for its groundbreaking InfiniSAN D2D technology, including the prestigious Best of Comdex Award as Best Enterprise Storage product. Nexsan's technology has also received special praise from reseller publications, including Computer Resellers News, a "Resellers Choice" award from Computer Technology Review and the top "Deploy" rating from InfoWorld in a November 2001 review. The CRN reviewer called the InfiniSAN D2D solution "a superior product at an unbelievable price."

InfiniSAN D2D sets a new standard in data protection by providing on-site, on-line backup copies of critical files with a lower cost per megabyte than tape. Data is protected through event-based, real time backup to either a local on-site, on-line primary and/or an off-site, on-line secondary disaster recovery system. This event-based model eliminates backup window problems and the potential for loss of a full business day's data associated with traditional backup applications. InfiniSAN D2D also eliminates downtime associated with the traditional process of restoring a file or rebuilding a server from a tape-based system by providing an on-line backup of a file system on a disk based, RAID-implemented random access solution.

Pricing and Availability
Nexsan's high-capacity ATAboy solutions incorporating the new 120 GB drives will be available February 1st, with prices starting at under 1 cent per megabyte.
