SASBoy provides organizations with exceptional performance and unparalleled energy savings in a compact package to meet real world business needs. The highly flexible SASBoy features FC and iSCSI connectivity (SAS to Host - See STH Model) to enable cost-effective high performance access to large amounts of information ensuring faster response times for business critical applications. SASBoy is equally capable of delivering high IOPS for transactional applications and sustaining maximum MB/s throughput for high bandwidth applications.

Energy Saving SAS
SASBoy offers the energy saving benefits of Nexsan's revolutionary AutoMAID™ technology. AutoMAID™ (Massive Array of Idle Disks) allows SASBoy to place its disk drives into several levels energy savings without compromising application performance. This powerful combination of high performance with energy saving capabilities enables users to lower the cost of owning storage.  Request a Quote

SASBoy incorporates advanced features such as dual RAID engines, cache mirroring, a high performance ASIC, and active/active failover to deliver uncompromising availability and reliability with high performance. With transaction speeds up to 50,000 IOPS from cache and 2,500 IOPS from disk, SASBoy provides superior performance across all standard platforms and operating systems. Dual 4Gb Fibre Channel and dual iSCSI connectors on each controller enable easy and flexible implementation into a wide range of environments. SASBoy’s high performance provides exceptional value that enhances all digital information storage applications, such as live online data, file serving, tiered storage, medical imaging storage and other business critical applications where performance is a must.

AutoMAID™ Energy Saving Technology

Nexsan's evolutionary AutoMAID (Automatic Massive Array of Idle Disks) energy saving technology transparently places disk drives into an idle state to vastly reduce power and cooling costs. AutoMAID delivers the cost-effective benefits of MAID 2.0 without the limitations of slow access times and special host software.

AutoMAID is granular to an individual drive or RAID set and offers multiple levels of energy savings. AutoMAID is user selectable enabling users to determine the right level of response time performance to energy savings. AutoMAID is the first MAID 2.0 architecture that supports VTL, full file format D2D and standard high performance RAID implementations

Key Points

  • AutoMAID reduces power and cooling costs
  • Nexsan’s AutoMAID delivers the benefits of MAID without the limitations
  • Available on Nexsan Assureon, SATABoy, SATABeast, and SATABeast Xi

AutoMAID Defined

  • AutoMAID automatically reduces power consumption and heat generation on idle drives
  • Trade-off between response times and power savings are user configurable
  • AutoMAID behavior happens automatically and transparently to host – no software changes required
  • Typical configuration settings:
    • Level 1: Heads Unloaded
      • 15% to 20% savings
      • Sub-second recovery time
    • Level 2: Heads Unloaded, slows to 4000 RPM
      • 35% to 45% savings
      • 15 second recovery time
    • Level 3: Stops spinning (sleep mode; powered on)
      • 60% to 70% savings
      • 30 to 45 second recovery time

AutoMAID Safety Features

  • In maximum power saving mode, drive spin up is sequenced to reduce power surges
  • Drives automatically wake up for periodic surface scan to ensure data integrity (user configurable)
  • AutoMAID has no impact on performance if left on in data-intensive server applications
  • Only two simple configuration settings – "timeout" and "power savings desired"
