Free White Paper Download: No More Tiers – Assureon by Nexsan, Redefining what Archive Means
Nexsan’s Assureon Secure Disk Archive Delivers Uncompromised Value with Primary Storage Performance
Companies are faced with a wave of complexity in trying to make sense of tiered storage: complex storage infrastructures, storage management and regulatory compliance requirements. Imagine a single box solution that could consolidate storage tiers, guarantee data protection, simplify storage management and lower storage costs. There’s no need to imagine any more as Nexsan’s Assureon Secure Disk Archive delivers uncompromised value with primary storage performance and cost-efficient management of your most infrequently accessed files. Assureon redefines what archive means.
The complexities of the traditional storage infrastructure along with its management and cost combine to make an unforgiving challenge for IT. How chaotic can all of this complexity be? Administrators must be able to budget for massive storage capacity growth and plan for multiple layers of infrastructure overflowing with:
• disk arrays;
• backup servers;
• data deduplication appliances and other equipment;
• a variety of protocols and physical interfaces;
• hundreds of storage management applications, each with its own software interface, none operationally integrated with another;
• dozens of different vendors and pricing permutations
What if all this chaos of complexity could be replaced with a single, small solution that dramatically simplifies the infrastructure, automates management and improves data security while significantly driving down your storage costs?
Nexsan’s Assureon Secure Disk Archive redefines what archive means. With the most innovative thinking in an archive, Assureon leverages a new approach to storage consolidation and automated management that changes how an entire storage infrastructure can be deployed and managed. By combining speeds rivaling primary storage performance with the ability to manage infrequently accessed files on “deep sleep”, cost-efficient drives, Assureon is the picture of uncompromised value.

Free White Paper Download: The Digital Age Trapped in an 8 Track World, Eliminate Tape with Assureon
The Assureon disk archive overcomes performance and data integrity issues related to tape archiving while greatly reducing cost and complexity with infrastructure consolidation and automated management.
Tape has been a standard data storage medium for more than 50 years, but that era is winding down. The capabilities of tape have been outpaced by mammoth increases in corporate data, the recovery and data integrity demands of regulatory compliance and the challenge of simplifying, automating and consolidating the data protection infrastructure in a restrictive IT budget environment.
The Assureon disk archive overcomes all the nagging performance and data integrity issues related to tape archiving while greatly reducing cost and complexity with infrastructure consolidation and automated management.
Magnetic tape as a data storage technology is approaching the end of its useful life. In the past, the limited volume of data made tape sensible, however, its functionality has been overrun by historic data growth and a new IT budget reality that is forcing storage administrators to adopt new solutions that lower the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) for storage.
Tape simply cannot measure up to today’s standards for reliable, secure, simplified, cost-effective storage while meeting an organization’s performance requirements. Nexsan’s Assureon secure disk archive is a state-of-the art archival storage solution that innovates where tape stagnates for fast, reliable, secure storage. Going forward, tape may still exist to be tucked away inside a mountain, or for data portability, but even those days are limited.
Assureon brings a competitive edge for companies looking to get rid of the storage headaches that come with tape systems. Moreover, for any organization that has data that demands guarantees, no other storage solution will make you feel safer and more at ease about your protection architecture than Assureon. If data protection risks within your current storage infrastructure have ever kept you up at night, Assureon will ensure that you never worry about the risk of data loss again.
With Assureon, Nexsan has established a best practice model on how data archiving and protection should be deployed. Nexsan’s “simpler is better” concept improves the performance, security and reliability of archival storage with infrastructure consolidation and simplified storage management to create the type of storage cost reductions and efficiencies required of IT professionals.

The Guide To Green Storage – Free Download
Maximizing Storage Power Efficiency without Sacrificing Performance
Waste. It’s what your data center is making of your energy and money right now with today’s storage arrays. By the time you finish this 10 minute white paper, the storage infrastructure within your data center will have just pushed up to 70% more carbon into the atmosphere, consumed up to 70% more power and up to 70% more cooling than it needed to. Over a year, a typical 42TB storage solution will push 8.9 metric tons of CO2 into the atmosphere that otherwise could have been COMPLETELY eliminated by a power efficient storage subsystem that meets or exceeds ALL the same performance, reliability and cost requirements demanded by your business.
It’s easy to ‘tune out’ those kinds of talking points as IT professionals have grown more and more cynical of vendor marketing that always seems to over-promise and under-deliver. But if green initiatives play a role in your organization’s priorities, power consumption solutions to the storage infrastructure are one of the easiest to implement and, thus, belong at the top of IT.
