Nexsan Upgrades Unity Storage Platform

Nexsan Corporation and ATTO Technology, Inc. announced that ATTO 16Gb Celerity HBAs are certified with Nexsan Unity storage platform.

This system enhancement will address the need for scalable and secure storage to support data growth from a variety of workloads, including high resolution 4K/8K video editing, HPC and data warehousing.

Unity is an unified storage platform that combines enterprise NAS and block storage, plus an integrated private cloud with Enterprise File Sync & Share (EFSS), mobile access, multi-site sync, and a secure active archive client in a simple to manage and cost-efficient and secure system. This solution combines this functionality into a single product, at a single price, allowing organizations to have less to manage and lower overall costs.

“We’re seeing an increasing number of customers interested in high performance throughput for their demanding applications,” said Gary Watson, CTO, Nexsan. “ATTO is the leader in providing world-class HBAs so we’re pleased to be able to offer these options to our customers.“

ATTO 16Gb Gen 6 Celerity HBAs deliver performance and reliable connectivity solutions for the demanding storage environments, enabling users to achieve I/O performance for real-time and transactional applications. Available in low-profile single, dual, and quad-port versions, and providing throughputs of up to 6,400Mb/s per channel, Celerity HBAs provide users with rapid access to storage and retrieval of critical information when using high bandwidth cloud applications and storage intensive applications such as backup, database transactions and rich media.

ATTO CEO Tim Klein also weighed in, saying: “We are elated to be working with industry leading partners like Nexsan. By pairing our FC HBAs with Nexsan’s high performing hyper-unified storage platform users are provided a complete solution to meet or even exceed the connectivity standards necessary for data intensive environments.”
