Nexsan presents SATAblade at Storage Networking World Fall 2004

World's fastest Serial ATA solution demonstrated at leading IT event

WOODLAND HILLS, Calif. October 19, 2004 - Nexsan Technologies, the leader in innovative storage solutions, will be demonstrating its SATAblade, a powerful and cost-effective Serial ATA (SATA) storage system that delivers stunning performance for businesses requiring a scalable, high performance storage solution, in booth PP4 at Storage Networking World Fall 2004 at the JW Marriott Grande Lakes Resort in Orlando, Florida October 25-28.

Supporting the latest 10,000 RPM SATA drives in an extreme density, low profile form factor, SATAblade delivers exceptionally high performance for data intensive storage applications and the small footprint solution can be easily optimized to meet either performance or capacity requirements. Featuring individual drive independence within a unique 1U high physical architecture that maximizes airflow and allows easy access to eight hot swappable SATA drives, a single SATAblade can easily store up to 3.2 terabytes of data.

As part of its exhibit at SNW, Nexsan will demonstrate a bundled SATAblade solution consisting of three SATAblades with 24 high capacity drives to deliver 9.6 terabytes in a 3U footprint. This SATAblade configuration delivers sustained throughput speeds of 1048 MB/sec and 125,000 I/Ops, making the Nexsan product the world's fastest Serial ATA solution.

"SATAblade is designed for businesses that require the benefits and superior performance of a scalable SATA solution in an ultra-dense form factor," said Brendan Kinkade, Vice President of Marketing at Nexsan. "Of particular interest to attendees of SNW will be our 3X configuration of SATAblades, which will blow the doors off of previous Serial ATA products in terms of capacity and throughput.
