SGI® COPAN™ 400M Native MAID

Ease of Integration with Disk-based Persistent Data-Aware Applications

Today, the vast majority of information is created digitally and is overloading the ability of IT storage infrastructures to cost effectively keep pace with the overwhelming quantity of digital information.

Effectively managing the growth and costs surrounding the massive volumes of data is essential to IT success. Finding ways to reduce costs, simplify management and ease integration are the hallmarks of IT data management strategies.

COPAN 400M provides the keys to solving the Persistent Data challenges—effectively managing the growth, costs and complexities for growing volumes of long-term fixed or static data. By providing easy integration with existing data protection, data archiving, storage tiering, and other data-aware applications. COPAN 400M eases management, reduces costs, and integrates with your existing applications. It provides all of the benefits of Enterprise MAID: unmatched density, scalability, and energy efficiency.


Ease of Integration with Disk-based Persistent Data-Aware Applications

To help effectively manage growing volumes of persistent data, COPAN 400M offers all the advantages of Enterprise MAID technology, as well as seamless integration with disk-based, third-party solutions. This further unlocks the power of MAID technology to flexibly deliver database tiering, asynchronous replication, file system migration, and disk-to-disk backups.
