Imation’s Nexsan Supports Mission-Critical IT Applications

The Sports Video Group is pleased to welcome Imation as a premier sponsor. Headquartered in Oakdale, MN, the company is a global data-storage and information-security company. Its products and solutions help organizations and individuals store, manage, and protect digital content.

Imation’s storage and security services include Nexsan high-density, archive, and solid-state optimized unified hybrid storage solutions, which are suitable for mission-critical IT applications — virtualization, cloud, databases, collaboration — and energy-efficient, high-density storage for backup and archiving.

There are more than 11,000 customers of Nexsan solutions worldwide with more than 33,000 systems deployed since 1999. Nexsan systems are delivered through a network of cloud-service providers, value-added resellers, and solutions integrators.

Recently, Imation announced two breakthroughs to optimize data storage for rich-media environments: Nexsan E-Series support for 6-TB drives and the all-new NST4000 hybrid storage appliance. The Nexsan E-Series is a high-capacity, ultra-dense, and ultra-reliable storage appliance delivering 1 PB of storage capacity into 12RU and more than 3.5 PB into a standard rack, offering a new level of density and capacity customization in data storage.

The NST4000 is the latest in the family of Nexsan hybrid storage appliances. This ultra-efficient hybrid storage appliance delivers several new benefits to users, including Fibre Channel support, higher-capacity scalability, increased performance, and enhanced data reduction. These features deliver genuine, efficient hybrid storage, providing the kind of flexibility organizations need as they rapidly add new applications to their environments. NST4000 is especially well-suited for midsize data centers, mixed-application workloads, data-protection strategies, and media- and entertainment-industry workflows.

Imation has facilities in more than 35 countries and capabilities to reach customers in more than 100.
