Copan Offers 8PB of Storage in One Square Metre

June 16, 2008: Copan Systems has enhanced its revolution 300 storage platform, increasing performance and capacity and given it storage density that it says is “unparalleled” in the industry.

The company says its Revolution 300 Series Platform is the industry’s densest and most cost effective long-term storage solution for persistent data.

Combining the energy efficiency of Enterprise MAID (Massive Array of Idle Disks) technology with data de-duplication, Copan says the solution can dramatically reduce acquisition and operational cost and complexity.

The platform now offers up to 896 TB of raw capacity, or 8 PB of de-duplicated data, and does it in a footprint of less than one square metre. Furthermore, with a 40-drive VTL cache option it can now support over 1000 concurrent data streams.

“We are the Persistent Data Storage Platform with the only Enterprise MAID OS in the world. MAID does not equal spin down and the Revolution 300 series introduced the market to how true MAID and de-duplication delivers exponential ROI in managing the cost and complexity of persistent data – which represents the majority of data stored by companies today,” said Chris Santilli, CTO, COPAN Systems.

“As more enterprises understand the value of managing their persistent data on a single purpose built platform, we have continued to evolve to serve the most demanding data centre environments.
