Built for Performance...
Blazing SAS and SSD IOPS and read/write throughput performance make SASBeast the perfect choice for transactional and/or database intensive applications (Exchange, SQL, Oracle, etc.). SASBeast’s high availability architecture features full redundancy across all active components and delivers industry leading reliability for enterprise class environments.
And Capacity...
Innovatively engineered to reliably mix SAS, SSD and SATA disks in the same SASBeast chassis, the user is provided separate storage tiers for different applications. Use the SAS or SSD storage tiers for performance intensive applications and the SATA storage tier for capacity intensive applications. Nexsan is changing the rules of storage by allowing the user to meet the broadest range of storage requirements in a single chassis.
| Unprecedented Energy Savings Nexsan SASBeast exclusively features the ground breaking energy saving benefits of AutoMAID™ technology which places disks in an idle state during inactivity while providing near-instantaneous access to data when needed. AutoMAID™ uniquely delivers the benefits of green without the limitations. |
