NEXSAN BEAST RELIABILITY WITH QLC DRIVES FOR


ENHANCED PERFORMANCE AND UNBEATABLE
BEAST ECONOMICS
ELITE F The BEAST Elite storage platform has been architected for the most
demanding storage environments and is built to provide ultra-reliable,
THE RELIABILITY high performance storage that seamlessly fits into existing storage
environments. BEAST Elite F provides an all-in enterprise storage
OF BEAST WITH software feature set with encryption, snapshots, robust connectivity
QLC DRIVES with FC and iSCSI, and support for asynchronous replication.
FOR ENHANCED
BEAST Elite F supports QLC NAND technology that has been designed
PERFORMANCE to accelerate access to extremely large datasets at unrivaled price/
AND UNBEATABLE performance metrics for high capacity, performance-sensitive
ECONOMICS workloads. The BEAST Elite F delivers the speed for less in
environments where performance is critical but the cost of SSDs has
historically been too high.

The BEAST Elite F includes higher performance RAID controllers


providing twice the performance and more than doubling the controller
memory cache to 36GB per controller. Connectivity has been tripled,
providing twelve high speed Fibre Channel or iSCSI host ports,
reducing the need for network switches.

WE FIT IN TIGHT SPOTS


BEAST Elite F includes support of the new E-Flex Architecture which
allows users to select any two of the three available expansion
systems: E18X, E48X and BT60X to a maximum expanded capacity of
1.38PB. This gives organizations the flexibility to size the systems to
petabytes as storage needs evolve.
