Imation Nexsan E-Series Delivers 4.9PB Storage in Single Rack

Imation Corp. is offering HGST‘s 8TB Ultrastar HDD drives with its Nexsan E-Series family of storage solutions.

With E-Series, users can store up to 144TB of data in two rack units and nearly 5PB in a standard rack, unlocking levels of density and capacity customization in their data centers.

“Users in media and entertainment, HPC and many other industries struggle today with how to deliver adequate storage for the exponential data growth in their organizations using limited budgets and resources,” said Mike Stolz, VP, marketing and global services, Nexsan solutions, Imation. “They also are challenged by how to properly archive and protect their high-value data through both primary and backup storage. With HGST’s 8TB drives, we can deliver more capacity to users and lower their operating expenses – but even more, we offer them new flexibility and options for architecting their data centers and deliver new levels of value.“

“Our HelioSeal platform is quickly becoming the de facto standard in enterprise capacity drives for data centers,” said Brendan Collins, VP, product marketing, HGST. “Boasting today’s lowest TCO, our helium-filled disk drives combine industry leading capacity and power efficiency to enable the highest capacity per rack while staying within the stringent power consumption and cooling requirements of today’s data centers.“

The E-Series is a family of storage solutions that can be directly attached or networked to workstations and servers. It delivers the density that organizations need to scale their capacity while lowering their overall space requirements and operating costs. They take the step to reduce power and cooling requirements through their multi-level, power-reducing AutoMAID capabilities. They include an management interface that simplifies deployment and management for the resource-constrained IT administrator.
