Nexsan Showcases AutoMAID Capabilities at UK’s Leading IT Storage Event

High-density, energy efficient disk storage technology displayed at Storage Expo UK

Derby, UK---(Oct. 17, 2007) - Nexsan Technologies, leader in energy saving storage solutions, today announced it will feature its in-demand AutoMAID™ (Automatic Massive Array of Idle Disks) storage capability – with up to 25 times better power consumption than competitive solutions - with its family of storage and archiving products at this year’s Storage Expo UK.

Organisations face mounting pressure to store data long-term to meet compliance and legislation obligations, and in parallel they are looking for solutions that deliver the highest energy efficiency without sacrificing performance. For long-term disk storage to be viable, power and cooling attributes must be relatively equivalent to tape while providing applications performance levels more closely associated with primary disk storage – Nexsan bridges this chasm with AutoMAID™ technology.

AutoMAID™ is a next generation energy efficient storage solution architected from the ground up to provide superior storage performance and the industry’s highest energy efficiency. Nexsan solutions with AutoMAID™ technology allow the company’s extreme-density storage systems to power down disk drives to an idle state to conserve energy yet provide near-instantaneous access to data. Nexsan products with AutoMAID have built-in next generation energy efficient technology at no extra charge. For a petabyte of disk storage, Nexsan solutions can reduce energy requirements by 25X – 6KW versus 187KW. This power saving is achieved without sacrificing storage performance.

"There is a fundamental change occurring in the marketplace," said Andy Hill, Nexsan’s sales director, Europe. "Customers are aggressively pursuing alternatives to their expensive, energy inefficient storage systems and their incumbent storage providers because they are unable to meet their long-term disk storage needs."

"We are enabling a new market," Hill continued. "Customers want to store data on random access disk drives but they find primary storage just too expensive. Nexsan has changed this price/performance metric by delivering long term disk storage near the price of tape but with all the advantages of random access disk drives."

Storage Expo is the premier UK trade event for Data Storage and Storage Networking professionals. Additional information on the conference is available at http://www.storage-expo.com
