Key Benefits
SATAboy incorporates SATA II technology along with advanced features such as dual RAID engines, a high performance cache mirroring ASIC, and active/active failover to deliver uncompromising availability and reliability, feature rich functionality, and high performance that exceeds the most demanding requirements for throughput and transaction processing applications. SATAboy’s advanced RAID architecture delivers failsafe 24/7 operation for long-term information protection and uninterrupted business continuity.

SATABeast employs Nexsan's revolutionary AutoMAID™ energy saving technology. AutoMAID transparently places SATABeast disk drives in an idle state reducing power consumption and operational costs. AutoMAID delivers the cost-saving benefits of MAID (Massive Array of Idle Disks) without the limitations of slow access times and special host software. Nexsan's AutoMAID is granular to an individual drive or RAID set and enables users to determine the level of access speed and energy savings desired. AutoMAID is the first MAID architecture that supports VTL (Virtual Tape Libraries), full file format D2D and standard RAID implementations

High Performance
Designed to meet the challenges of the most demanding computing environments, SATABoy delivers unparalleled availability and performance in a SATA RAID device. With sustained throughput speeds of up to 370 MB/s per controller, SATABoy provides superior performance across all standard platforms and operating systems. Dual 2Gb fibre channel connectors on each controller enable easy and flexible implementation into a wide range of environments. SATABoy’s unique combination of high performance and enormous capacity provides exceptional value that enhances all digital information storage applications, such as live on-line data, fixed content, tiered storage, broadcast/VOD and other business critical applications.

Simple to Use
The advanced hardware design of SATAboy is supported by Nexsan’s simple yet sophisticated Extreme Intelleigence software, NexScan™, providing intuitive centralized management and monitoring. SATAboy’s integrated NexScan management tool is platform independent with an intuitive design that ensures complete control over configuration and optimization of your storage environment.

Configuration And Management
NexScan is Nexsan’s embedded web-enabled Graphical User Interface (GUI). The platform independence of the NexScan allows you to manage your system from any standard Internet browser or from any host computer either directly connected or via a LAN or WAN with no software or patches required. You also have the option of accessing the SATAboy via the RS-232 serial port or interface to an ANSI terminal or emulator.

Tele-Guard Phone Home
Tele-Guard™ is Nexsan Technologies' phone home feature incorporated within the InfiniSAN line of storage solutions. Utilizing NexScan™, the WEB enabled GUI, you can access your system from any standard internet browser. In addition, NexScan is platform independent and can be accessed directly from a host computer or over a LAN or WAN. No software patches required. NexScan uses standard html, eliminating any need for special client software. Tele-Guard monitors all system parameters and you can select either single or multiple user alerts to be sent via “Plain English” e-mails, Internet based SMS notification, or Tele-Guard's pager support.
