Palo Alto and Thousand Oaks, Calif.-Atempo, Inc., a leading provider of cross-platform data protection and archiving solutions, and Nexsan, a leading provider of energy-efficient, long-term disk storage, today announced a comprehensive backup-to-disk solution that integrates Atempo’s powerful storage management software with Nexsan’s high density green storage system. For the first time, Atempo Time Navigator™ software will integrate with Nexsan SATABeast Xi™ hardware, giving reseller partners the opportunity to offer a high-performance and high-capacity backup and storage solution ready-made for data-intensive environments such as media and entertainment industries. With Atempo and Nexsan’s common support for Mac, Windows and UNIX, the joint solution is optimized for heterogeneous environments, particularly organizations with a strong Apple Mac presence.


The Atempo and Nexsan solution seamlessly brings together two feature-rich products whose functionality and interoperability combine for a powerful overall solution. Atempo Time Navigator enables medium to large-size organizations to manage data seamlessly throughout its lifecycle. In addition to providing critical data protection, the software’s powerful Time Navigation capability allows users to restore files quickly and effortlessly from any point in time off any tier in a storage environment. These critical features complement the SATABeast Xi, which gives enterprises reliable high density storage up to 42 TB per system. In addition to providing enterprise-class performance, reliability and management, the SATABeast Xi features Nexsan’s AutoMAID™ energy-saving technology that greatly reduces power consumption and cooling costs without sacrificing application performance.


“Most organizations utilize a heterogeneous mix of computing platforms each requiring data protection including Mac,” said Bob Woolery, senior vice president of marketing at Nexsan. “In integrating Atempo software with Nexsan’s SATABeast Xi, we have created a powerful solution that resellers can use to address the challenges of storing cross-platform data under a common management system and structure. The capabilities are especially critical for data-intensive industries, such as media and entertainment, where Atempo and Nexsan’s proven Mac support is further differentiated with high performance, high density and energy saving green storage.”


The Atempo and Nexsan integrated solution supports a broad number of applications and databases including specific applications for the media and entertainment industry such as media asset management applications. The solution also includes all components necessary to provide virtual tape library (VTL) functionality delivering increased backup performance, improved recovery performance and reduced media management issues. Resellers will have the flexibility to sell different bundles of Time Navigator and SATABeast Xi that can scale up to 42 TB and 20 agents.


“This solution sees Atempo and Nexsan align our technologies to solve the challenges common to our customer bases, but it also exemplifies both companies’ commitment to strengthening the important relationships with our reseller partners,” said Karim Toubba, vice president of marketing and product management at Atempo. “Time Navigator and SATABeast Xi technology gives our resellers a much needed and requested package – a seamless offering that bundles all components to deliver an end-to-end backup-to-disk solution.”
