Nexsan E60 Storage System Delivers Continued Storage Innovation And High Performance For Coveo

Fast-Growing Insight Solutions Company Deploys Nexsan E60 Storage System to Support Rapid Customer and Data Growth

Nexsan, a leading independent provider of disk-based storage systems, recently announced that leading Insight Solutions provider Coveo has turned to Nexsan to support its needs for flexible, high performance storage. Most recently, Coveo deployed the new Nexsan E60 E-Series storage system to add more capacity to its infrastructure while supporting its future growth.

Coveo is the confluence of Enterprise Search 2.0, knowledge management and customer experience management. Coveo Insight Solutions transform disparate structured and unstructured data, from virtually any system, into actionable, on-demand insight about customers, projects, people, processes and products, delivered via intuitive, role-based Insight Consoles. Greater insight enables more effective and efficient customer service, more relevant customer experiences, increased sales and shorter sales cycles, faster innovation for better product development, and ultimately, increased profitability.

"Our global roster of customers, more than 700 implementations strong, is diverse in industry and company size, yet they all have a common focus: to turn disparate data from various digital sources into actionable insight," said Marc Sanfaçon, SVP Technology, Coveo. "As our customer base continues to grow, so too does our need for increased storage to support our growing infrastructure. We chose Nexsan to help support our continued growth in this area, based on its innovative, scalable and flexible storage technology."

For its IT environment, Coveo purchased the Nexsan E60 E-Series storage system with 60 1TB SATA disk drives. The system is deployed in the network with fibre channel, using RAID10 technology for high-transaction performance. The new E60 E-Series system is based on Nexsan's Flexible Storage Platform, allowing a single 4U system to scale up to 180TB while delivering up to 87% power savings with AutoMAID Level 4 power management. It is optimized to support virtualized operating environments with exceptional I/O performance and is designed to enhance long-term reliability.

Key features and advantages of the E60 include:

• High Performance -- The Nexsan E60 supports 10GbE connectivity and features two RAID engines per controller for fast sequential and random I/O performance.
• High Capacity and Density: The Nexsan E60 offers the option to extend the storage capacity of its 4U E60 up to 180TB.
• Active Drawer Technology -- This revolutionary approach to extreme density simplifies the maintenance of a high density system by offering specially designed cables for continuous operation even when one of three self-contained drawers is momentarily opened so a single person can perform disk and fan service.
• AutoMAID Technology -- This technology delivers "Speed with Green" for up to 87% reduction in power consumption without performance compromise for popular applications such as backup to disk and data archiving.
• Virtualization Support -- The Nexsan E60 is VMware-certified with production-proven performance in virtualized environments.

"Innovation is the core of our business and one of the things that customers such as Coveo value most," said Victoria Grey, Senior Vice President, Marketing, Nexsan. "We continue to innovate in all areas, including capacity, flexibility, reliability, performance and simplified management. Yet, our leadership in cost efficiency never wavers. At Nexsan, we believe customers should be able to receive it all."
