Additionally, BEAST Elite offers an all-in enterprise storage software feature set with encryption, snapshots, connectivity with FC and iSCSI, and support for asynchronous replication.

In a press statement, Mihir Shah, CEO of StorCentric, the parent company of Nexsan said, “with a reputation for reliability stretching back over two decades, our BEAST platform has become a trusted solution for a huge range of organizations and use cases. BEAST Elite and Elite F retain those levels of superior-build quality and robust design while adding significantly to performance, scale, and connectivity capabilities. We will continue to enhance and introduce new products as a testament to our unrelenting commitment to customer centricity.”

The BEAST Elite F storage solution supports QLC NAND technology designed to accelerate access to large datasets for high-capacity, performance-sensitive workloads. Ideally, this platform is suited for environments where performance is critical, but the cost of SSDs has historically been too high.

Surya Varanasi, CTO of StorCentric, the parent company of Nexsan, also added, “the new BEAST Elite storage platform with QLC flash provides a significant performance improvement over HDDs with industry-leading price/performance. This storage platform is ideal for customers who want extremely dense, highly resilient block storage data lakes, and ML/AI workloads.
