Multi-I/O Architecture for Optimal Storage Scalability

The Breeze MH860 combines 10 Gigabit Ethernet, Gigabit Ethernet, and SAS to deliver 24 times more bandwidth than clustered iSCSI arrays.
Nimbus' Multi-I/O technology isolates server-to-storage traffic from storage-to-storage expansion traffic.
This eliminates storage oversubscription common in Gigabit-based iSCSI arrays and enables application servers to run at their peak.
The quad SAS links support up to sixteen Breeze SM120 expansion modules for growth up to 192 TB.

10 Gigabit Ethernet for Fast Content Storage and Retrieval

With ten times more bandwidth than Gigabit Ethernet, 10 Gigabit Ethernet lets enterprises centralize large amounts of rich content – geophysical, satellite, and medical imaging, multimedia, and archives – with confidence.

The Breeze MH860 offers Tier 0, 1, 2, and 3 capacity under one roof, allowing organizations to scale as needs dictate.
With 10 Gigabit Ethernet now more affordable than Fibre Channel, enterprises can retain the familiarity of IP while dramatically improving storage performance.

FlexScale Architecture for Cost-correct Expansion

The Breeze MH860, with FlexScale technology, makes storage expansion affordable. Unlike clustered iSCSI arrays, which require purchasing completely new systems just to add capacity, the Breeze MH860 scales up using inexpensive storage expansion modules that leverage the system's impressive bandwidth and processing power.
This reduces cost/TB as more storage is added while increasing performance with more spindles or solid state drives.

Green Technology and Rugged Fault-tolerance Features

The Breeze MH860 meets new green computing standards by consuming up to 75% less power – as low as 19 watts per TB of data managed – than separate SAN and NAS devices.
Persistent write-through caching securely stores data in the event of a power failure without costly UPS devices.
Low voltage system components further reduce cooling requirements. Power supplies, fans, controllers, and host connections are redundant and hot-swappable for easy field replacement. A cluster option adds a secondary director for additional resiliency.

Unified iSCSI SAN and NAS for Simple IT Operations To simplify storage management when facing diverse IT requirements, the Breeze MH860 offers unified iSCSI SAN and NAS (CIFS and NFS), seamlessly presented on one system with one intuitive interface.
iSCSI-only alternatives force you to purchase isolated NAS gateways that increase cost and complexity.
With the Breeze MH860, enterprises can centralize more data on one system, increasing efficiency and eliminating unnecessary storage hardware and software purchases.

SSD, SAS, and SATA for Unmatched Tiered Storage

The Breeze MH860 provides 64 GB of integrated solid state storage, 50 times faster than traditional hard drives, to dramatically accelerate application performance at a fraction of the cost of monolithic storage systems.
The Breeze MH860 can be expanded with any blend of SSD, 15rpm/10rpm SAS, and SATA II hard drives, even within the same enclosure, to efficiently optimize storage based on speed, density, power, and cost.

Enterprise-grade Power in One Hour

Powered by Nimbus’ innovative HALO storage operating system, the Breeze MH860 provides robust data protection and capacity provisioning with the simplicity of Web-based management.
First-time network storage users can set up the system in about an hour, using built-in context help to navigate the intuitive interface to quickly set up SAN and NAS volumes.
Integrated features include snapshots, replication, volume cloning, and automatic storage health monitoring, without the cost and headaches of incremental license fees.
