The dual-controller configuration not only delivers the highest performance in its class, but in addition to standard SCSI attachment, Nexsan also gives customers the choice to use 2 Gbit Fibre Channel. This enables easy connectivity to Storage Area Networks that are increasingly common in broadcast, pre-press and other graphic arts and digital content creation environments.
