Redstor Teams With Nexsan to Deliver Powerful and Efficient Storage and Services
Nexsan announced that Redstor, one of Britain's top cloud service providers, has partnered with Nexsan for the delivery of on-premise and cloud-based storage solutions. Through the partnership, Redstor has integrated Nexsan E60 storage systems into its cloud backup infrastructure and solutions portfolio for customers in multiple industries, particularly the education sector (through the Redstor Backup Service for Schools - RBUSS).
The E60 is based on Nexsan's Flexible Storage Platform and provides industry-leading storage density of 60 drives in 4U of rack space with scalability to meet configuration requirements. Reliability and ease-of-use are enhanced by Nexsan's Anti-vibration Design, Cool Drive Technology, Active Drawer Technology and AutoMAID power management which saves up to 85% on power and cooling costs. The E60 also supports the E60X storage expansion chassis, providing an additional 180TB of capacity while reducing power, space and costs. All systems have the ability to deploy with SATA, SAS and/or SSD drives to deliver high performance storage for physical or virtual hosts via a Fibre Channel or iSCSI SAN.
"Together, our Cloud services platform with the E60 is a fully integrated storage solution that delivers advanced functionality to market," said Paul Evans, MD at Redstor. "We are committed to providing the highest level of data storage, backup, archiving and device management services, so it's only natural that two 'best in class' providers integrate to deliver dynamic long-term data protection and retention to meet the needs of our valued customers across our customer base."
"We are delighted to be working alongside Redstor," said Andy Hill, Vice President of Sales for Europe & Africa at Nexsan. "With its offsite data backup, Redstor has pioneered innovations for cloud-based data protection for customers in the education field as well as other key verticals. Furthermore, we are pleased that they have chosen to partner with Nexsan to provide our products for on-premise storage as well. Nexsan embraces its continued support for Redstor in putting organizations on the fast track to IT optimization and productivity."
