Utilizing Nexsan's EnterpriseATA™ technology, all individual    ATABeast components are fully redundant and hot swappable.    This advanced design provides increased ROI by eliminating the    need to replace an entire multi-drive blade should a single drive    fail. With rack space an expensive premium and storage demands    climbing by 50% per year, the ATABeast's unique top load design    achieves maximum density in a very compact footprint. The ATABeast ensures dependable hot-swapping of drives by    combining a custom unitized ATA connector specially designed    for drive-plugging operations and an electronic soft-start    capability that further enhances reliability. Dual controllers using Nexsan's award winning EnterpriseATA™    design provide excellent performance with 42 spindles that can    be segmented into multiple RAID sets or a single large storage    pool. ATABeast has full cache coherency design to ensure data    integrity even with power loss.

ATABeast is the ideal platform for deep archiving and disk-    based backup:    - Timed online replication system w/ multi-version control        where your files reside and are accessed in native file        format.    - Provides immediate file access eliminating "Fire Drill"        restores. Auto-rescan initiates automatic system scans for real-time     "Correct Status" reporting for all RAID arrays. The ATABeast's NexScan management interface is built into    the ATABeast controller, alleviating the need to have a    separate server or application manage the storage array.    This sophisticated management utility monitors and reports    the status of all subsystems over a 10/100-network port.    Included in NexScan are Tele-Guard, Nexsan's phone-home    feature for user notification of errors or prediction of error,    and WorldView, our multi-box feature. LUN Masking and Mapping allows users to easily configure    the 16.8TB of disk capacity for dozens of servers or one.    Maximize your investment. Add drives on the fly to your array.
