Nexsan E-Series SAN Certification on Cisco UCS Servers

Nexsan
Corp.
announced that its E–Series
high
density
SAN
storage
solution
has been certified on both the Cisco Unified Computing Systems (UCS)
B-Series and C-Series server lines.

The Nexsan E18, E18X, E48, E48X, E60 and E60X products
are all supported on Cisco UCS B-series and C-Series via FC. Nexsan
and Cisco have a technology partnership and this certification
enables Cisco UCS customers to leverage all the power, efficiency and
price performance of the Nexsan E-Series SAN via the UCS platform
environment.

Customers opting for the enterprise Cisco UCS servers
can enjoy complementary dense storage for volumes of compute power
and storage capacity in the least amount of space.

"We use the Nexsan E-Series
today with Cisco UCS internally and have implemented it with great
success for several of our customers as well,"
said Doug Renner, founder and CEO of Peak IP Solutions, a partner of
both Nexsan and Cisco, and an expert in Unified Computing, unified communications and data management solutions. "The
E-Series is highly efficient, reliable and you can’t beat it for
price performance. Nexsan often doesn’t get the look it deserves when
competing in the storage industry. Now that it is certified with the
UCS platform, it’s a great option for Cisco UCS customers."

The E-Series is an SAN storage system for
organizations needing a dense and reliable solution. It delivers
density and power efficiency for the smallest storage footprint with
up to 3X the capacity in the same space as a typical array while
consuming up to 85% less power and cooling when idle.

A fault tolerant and reliable architecture ensures data
protection and makes deploying and managing storage a simple task for
the resource constrained IT administrator. It also comes
pre-configured so it can be up and running in 10 minutes or less with
wizards – no professional services required.

Cisco UCS is a data center platform
that unites computing, network, storage access, and virtualization
into a system designed to reduce TCO and increase business agility.
The platform is certified for enterprise applications,
virtualization, and OS.

"Nexsan’s
expertise in capacity-optimized storage has led to industry-leading
efficiencies at the lowest possible cost-per-terabyte for
applications like disk backup or cloud storage,"
said Victoria Grey, SVP marketing at Nexsan.
"Cisco UCS users can take advantage of
the superior TCO from both UCS and the E-Series, as demonstrated by
density, energy efficiency, and reliability of the combined
solution."
