NEXSAN GIVES BIRTH TO TWINS

Nexsan Technologies, a leader in innovative storage solutions, announced a new dual-chassis configuration of its ATAbaby storage array, providing a high-capacity, cost-correct storage solution for small and medium sized businesses.

Nexsan's new dual-chassis ATAbaby Twins configuration provides up to 2.4 terabytes in a compact 2U configuration. The ATAbaby bundle is an ideal tape autoloader replacement for SMB customers who require a faster, more reliable backup solution than tape. ATAbaby bundle offers seamless integration for customers operating in Windows Server environments, and fully supports the storage services of the new Windows Server 2003.

"The new ATAbaby Twins is another nail in the coffin of tape-based backup," said Diamond Lauffin, Nexsan's senior executive vice president. "No tape loader or library can deliver the same level of data protection and availability at anywhere close to this price."

The new ATAbaby bundle continues Nexsan's tradition of combining technical innovation and correct-cost pricing to bring a best-of-breed storage solution to SMB customers. With up to 2.4 terabytes of storage in a mirrored RAID 5 configuration, ATAbaby Twins provides intelligent RAID protection for valuable data in a compact package. The ATAbaby bundle supports high-speed disk-to-disk backup operations, eliminating the complexity, unreliability and management overhead inherent in tape-based backup. Nexsan's ATAbaby Twins offers the flexibility to deploy the system as a local D2D backup device or at a remote site to support long-distance backup or remote data replication over IP or DSL connections.

The ATAbaby disk-based storage solution utilizes the latest advancements in ATA technology to help expand storage capacity, improve business continuance, and increase ROI. ATAbaby's high capacity and very affordable price point make it the ideal storage platform for small to medium business environments.
