Nexsan Ships Enterprise-Class Storage Boxes With 3TB Drives
And you thought the consumer storage business was booming. As corporate
companies look for new edges to advance their response times and
reliability, enterprise storage vendors are cranking out new gear to
serve those wishes. Nexsan certainly isn't a name you hear shot out with
WD and Seagate, but on the enterprise side, they're making big strides.
The company has just released a new mid-market option with their 3TB
SATA drives for the Nexsan E-Series suite of storage products.
They're designed specifically to work with the 4U Nexsan E60 system, but they'll also slip into the E18 and E60X. The Nexsan E-Series storage systems are available immediately. Pricing for the E60 with 3TB SATA drives and a single controller starts at under $80K MSRP, so it's safe to say those who aren't rolling in the dough won't be applying.
