Imation Nexsan E-Series V Solutions for Media and Entertainment

Up to 72TB in 2U, 240TB per 4U and 2.88PB per rack

Imation Corp. announced the expansion of the Nexsan E-Series storage array family to continue to deliver high-capacity, high-performance storage solutions.

Additional configurations have brought new value to media and entertainment end users, who face a wide realm of evolving storage needs from meeting narrow post-production edit needs to creating large, shared storage solutions for multiple users or worldwide audiences. For example, bundling the new Nexsan E32V storage array and the E60VT array system produces a performance-optimized, high-density storage solution for digital asset management, digital archives and shared file system solutions.

In addition, clients trust Nexsan storage products with critical data, and a recent TechValidate study showed that 95% of surveyed IT organizations are likely to recommend E-Series arrays to colleagues.

E-Series storage solutions have proven to be exceptionally reliable, efficient to scale and simple to install and manage, and we especially love their storage density.   Our customers in media and entertainment in particular need storage with blazing performance and the ability to handle multiple video streams and shorten backup windows.
