About Nexsan

Company Overview

For over 18 years Nexsan has built a reputation for highly reliable, cost-effective storage designed to serve specific use cases and business demands. We create storage for IT professionals who demand storage suited to their specific needs.

We think of our products as “purpose-built” rather than general purpose. That means product design starts by understanding the diverse workloads in our customers’ environments. And because these workloads vary, we offer a broad line where each product has clear intent and exceptional value. The ultimate expression of our commitment to purpose-built storage is our new Hyper-Unified Storage — adding capabilities to our award-winning unified storage that transform storage from a routine requirement into a business advantage: Simple sync and share for users, real-time file sync across locations, and data archiving with unmatched security and standards compliance.

If you, as an IT professional, require cost-effective block storage for backup, databases or Exchange, scalable and highly-flexible NAS file systems, a global private-cloud sync and share infrastructure, or secure archiving, we invite you to consider Nexsan. Purpose-built storage with innovation that matters, reliability to let you sleep well, and pricing to fit your always-constrained budget.

Product Overview

Our flagship product, Unity, sets the new standard for Hyper-Unified Storage. It starts as scalable, flexible unified storage. It lets you mix-and-match high-performance flash with inexpensive hard disks. And it lets you mix block storage for VMware, databases or Exchange with file storage for home directories and sharing. Then, it stands out by including a full private-cloud infrastructure at no additional cost. For example, instead of spending on complex, expensive third-party products to share data across sites, Unity includes a plug-and-play ability to sync files in real-time across any number of disparate locations with secure communication across standard internet connections. Unity also replaces the growing and dangerous user adoption of cloud-sharing products like Dropbox and Box by delivering similar functionality completely under the control of IT. Unity can even satisfy the most demanding secure archive requirements by integrating all the capabilities of our industry-leading Assureon archiving product in a single system.

The workhorse of our product line is the battle-tested E-Series and BEAST. Designed to process heavy workloads with demanding applications, it’s high performance, capacity, density, reliability, and ease of management make it fit environments where others fail. E-Series and BEAST were designed to run in the most challenging of environments — from departments without perfectly optimal data centers to branch offices to cruise ships. The E-Series and BEAST and its block storage predecessors were our first products, so when you hear our customers say things like, “You just set it and forget it” or “Nexsan systems almost last too long,” you are hearing the result of our passion for ease of use and reliability.

For long term and active archive storage, we have Unity Active Archive and Assureon. It’s the safest, most secure and cost-effective way to protect data. With automatic, policy-based data transfer from your NAS devices, Unity Active Archive and Assureon ensure total compliance, protects against ransomware and hackers, and offers rock-solid litigation support. Strict policies can be set at strict levels so not even sys admins can change data. And along the way, it can cut the total cost of storage dramatically by offloading rarely used files from your most expensive primary storage in a way that’s completely transparent to users.
