LOW IMPACT.

 

Energy use is a central issue for data centers. Reducing power consumption and costs, already at high levels, is a growing concern.

Energy saving solutions also need to address end user satisfaction, regulatory compliance, and return on investment (ROI). There are considerable fiscal motivations for companies to use energy more efficiently. When considering alternatives to practice energy conservation in server environments, IT managers look to reduce hard disks as the storage medium of choice.

Replacing 10 hard disk shelves with XcelaSAN will:

 

Improve application performance and user experience 

A single XcelaSAN can easily out-perform 10 shelves of midrange storage array disks 

Reduce power and cooling consumption 

Replacing 10 midrange storage array shelves with one XcelaSAN reaps the benefit of nearly 50,000 fewer kilowatt hours of power per year. 

Reduce power and cooling costs

Replacing 10 midrange storage array disk shelves with one XcelaSAN saves nearly $10,000 per year in electricity costs for power and cooling. 

Recover rack space 

A single XcelaSAN uses 35% less power than a single shelf of midrange storage array disk (a shelf of disks is a 2U rack full of disks). 

Significantly reduced carbon footprint 

Replacing 10 midrange storage array disk shelves with one XcelaSAN means nearly 26,000 fewer pounds of carbon dioxide are discharged into the atmosphere per year. 

Lower cost than competitive solutions 

Go GREEN to save GREEN. XcelaSAN is an alternative solution to purchasing additional storage systems, reducing total cost of ownership on average by more than 50%. 

Green Design

As part of our commitment to reducing the environmental impact of our products, Dataram promotes the procurement of products, components, materials and raw materials that have minimal environmental impact (“green procurement”).

 

Green Use

The Dataram XcelaSAN storage optimization appliance reduces your power and cooling consumption, which means fewer pounds of Carbon Dioxide will be discharged into the air, significantly reducing your Carbon footprint.

 

Green Disposal

Dataram uses methods that have minimal environmental impact at every stage of our product lifecycles—from procurement of raw materials to manufacturing and distribution to consumption and final disposal.

 

High Performance for Less

By implementing XcelaSAN in your Fibre Channel SAN, IT managers can leverage midrange storage investments, obtaining the equivalent performance of high-end storage systems at about one-sixth the cost while using less energy, less space and fewer resources.

The Dataram XcelaSAN storage optimization appliance enables IT managers to easily and cost-effectively accelerate application data access in midrange Fibre Channel SANs, eliminating the need for additional storage arrays or the installation of much more expensive high-end storage, thereby protecting and extending the customer’s investment in storage technology. It protects data in mission-critical applications with high availability when installed in mirrored pairs.
