High Density, Ultimate Performance Storage System
The E18 is Nexsan’s latest generation of high performance, high density and energy-efficient storage solution. Raising the bar over Nexsan’s SATA/SASBoy® 14-drive 3U storage array, the E18 is Nexsan’s latest offering providing a high performance, 18-drive 2U storage array. The E18 can utilize SATA, SAS and SSD drives to flexibly meet specific storage needs whether high performance, high capacity or both. The E18 is tailored for applications that desire enterprise-class performance delivered at a mid-market price.
The system utilizes the new Nexsan E-Series RAID controller–with choices of single or dual controller options containing up to four 8Gb Fibre Channel ports and up to four 1Gb iSCSI ports to convey higher bandwidth and path resiliency. Nexsan’s Active Drawer Technology™ utilizes two sliding, active drawers containing up to nine drives in each, that allow them to be quickly and easily serviced by one person who can remain online.
The E18 is optimal for transactional applications as well as storage in virtual environments that employ Windows, Linux, VMware, Xen or Hyper-V–which access storage randomly, demand high performance and has no single-point-of-failure configuration.
