Derby, United Kingdom, 14 October 2008 - Nexsan, a leading provider of energy-efficient, long-term storage, today announced Assureon 6.0, the industry's first highly scalable archiving system designed specifically for the needs of storage-as-a-service providers. Assureon 6.0 is a next-generation archiving system that addresses the demand for enhanced privacy and increased scalability while retaining the highest levels of performance and affordability.
Assureon 6.0 introduces service provider-oriented features such as extreme scalability and secure, physical separation of archives between users. Also, Assureon 6.0 features Nexsan's AutoMAID green technology to reduce power consumption in the hosted datacenter. Assureon 6.0 is a complete system consisting of disk storage, archiving software and servers in a single rack.
"Companies of all sizes are under great pressure today to save money, save energy and operate more efficiently, and increasingly they are doing so by turning to new outsourced, subscription models for everything from their software to their storage applications," said Gregg Pugmire, executive vice president of business development, Nexsan. "With Assureon 6.0, we are providing our first storage-as-a-service system designed specifically to address customers' needs for high-performance, extremely scalable, secure archiving. Assureon 6.0 is highly cost-effective and energy-efficient, and it is specifically targeted for the long-term management of fixed, or persistent, data."
The newest member of Nexsan's disk-based archiving family, Assureon 6.0 features an innovative new Nexsan-designed content addressable storage (CAS) capability that enables customers to virtualise a system into an essentially unlimited number of physically secure archives. This next-generation CAS technology makes Assureon 6.0 the ideal archiving platform for a hosted storage service solution.
