Imation Delivers 1PB in 12U, Adds Support for 6TB Drives
OAKDALE, Minn. --(Business Wire)--
Imation (NYSE:IMN), a global data storage and information security
company, today announced it is now offering 6TB hard disk drives with
its Nexsan E-Series™ family of data storage solutions. Through E-Series,
users now can pack more than 1PB of storage capacity into 12 rack units
and more than 3.5PB into a standard rack, achieving a new level of
density and capacity customization in their data storage.
"The ability to pack 1PB of storage into 12U unlocks tremendous new
levels of storage scalability in the data center," said Mike Stolz, vice
president of marketing and technical support for Imation's Nexsan
solutions. "But it doesn't stop there - it also means users can realize
significant savings on operational expenses through less floor space,
cooling, power and related items. This is just the latest example of our
commitment to always give our partners an edge in the market, and
deliver cutting-edge efficient storage solutions that help their
customers grow their bottom lines."
In addition to the new capacity capabilities, Imation has added more
forward-thinking features and functionality to the E-Series family,
including:
-
Support for 16Gb Fibre Channel to enable increased throughput
performance;
-
An E32XV expansion unit to add more system performance and capacity to
the Nexsan
E32V storage array and deliver more value to database applications;
-
Support for Microsoft's (News - Alert) Offload Data Transfer (ODX) to minimize the
host resources required for data transfers and eliminate the SAN as a
bottleneck for files such as databases and video;
-
Snapshot cloning to enable volumes to be created and internal data
migration to be done from snapshots. This makes it possible for users
to move production data to test environments without disrupting their
production environments.
