BEAST P lets you get back your rack when space is tight, designed for 60 drives in 4U of a standard rack. That’s up to 720TB of capacity in 4U and up to a total of 2.16PB in a fully scaled 12U configuration. Our systems are built to withstand some pretty tough storage environments outside the data center like ships, subway stations, and storage closets that have less than ideal temperatures and vibration. Nexsan leverages an innovative design with Cool-Drive Technology and Anti-Vibration Design to significantly reduce heat and vibration in the unit.
