Scalable Enterprise-Class Storage Expansion

The E60X™, a member of the Flexible Storage Platform™, delivers the latest high-capacity expansion chassis, uniquely offering 60 drive bays in only 4U of rack space to give IT professionals the most storage capacity in the smallest footprint, with enterprise-class reliability and stellar ease of use. By attaching the E60X expansion chassis to Nexsan's SATABeast®, SASBeast®, E18 or E60 storage systems, organizations can achieve new levels of efficiency with the ability to add more capacity while reducing power, space and cost.

When compared to other systems, the E60X delivers three times the capacity, takes up one third of the space and–thanks to Nexsan's AutoMAID® level 4 technology–consumes up to 85% less energy. Three self-contained active drawers contain 20 SAS/SATA disk bays in each along with tachometer-controlled push and pull fan modules. The entire drawer can be extended for easy servicing while remaining in full production. The E60X connects to the SATABeast or SASBeast via the expansion ports available on the new 8Gbit fibre channel Beast controllers.

The E60X 120TB expansion solution does not require special tools or downtime to add capacity; IT professionals need only to plug the required disk drives into any unused disk bay. In addition, the chassis is managed completely by the SASBeast, SATABeast, E18 or E60 Web-based management interface.
