HIGHLIGHTS
SASBoy incorporates advanced features such as dual RAID engines, cache mirroring, a high performance ASIC, and active/active failover to deliver uncompromising availability and reliability with high performance. With transaction speeds up to 50,000 IOPS from cache and 2,500 IOPS from disk, SASBoy provides superior performance across all standard platforms and operating systems. Dual 4Gb Fibre Channel and dual iSCSI connectors on each controller enable easy and flexible implementation into a wide range of environments.
SASBoy's high performance provides exceptional value that enhances all digital information storage applications, such as live online data, file serving, tiered storage, medical imaging storage and other business critical applications where performance is a must.
ENERGY SAVINGS WITHOUT PERFORMANCE COMPROMISE
Even with high performance SAS drives, systems do not always access data 24x7. SASBoy understands these idle times and offers the energy saving benefits of Nexsan’s revolutionary AutoMAID™ technology. AutoMAID™ (Massive Array of Idle Disks). AutoMAID allows SASBoy to reduce energy needs without compromising performance. User selectable, the AutoMAID can reduce energy over two settings to conserve energy yet provide near-instantaneous access to data.
SASBoy's unique combination of high performance with energy saving capabilities sets it apart enabling organizations to maximize the use of their investment while reducing its cost of operation.
SIMPLE TO USE
Like all Nexsan storage arrays, the SASBoy is supported by Nexsan's simple yet sophisticated Extreme Intelligence software, NexScan™. NexScan provides an intuitive, centralized management and monitoring tool platform. With seamless integration and an intuitive design, NexScan ensures you have complete control over configuration and optimization of your storage environment.
