  13. What is “Old” MAID? MAID (massive array of idle disks) Employs a select group of disks Only disks in active use are spinning Disks that are not active are not spinning Slow - takes several minutes to access disks Reduces power consumption

  14. Why is Nexsan AutoMAID Better Old MAID Reduces application performance for energy savings “On-or-off” approach to energy savings Usually only supported on SATA drives Minutes to spin up components to respond to IO requests Slow response confines use to just a few applications AutoMAID Benefits of MAID without the limitations! • Energy savings with application performance “Green with Speed” • Supported on SAS and SATA drives • Three levels of energy savings • Level 1, up to 20% • Level 2, up to 40% (SATA only) • Level 3, up to 60% • Fast response to 1st I/O requests • Level 1, sub-second • Level 2, less than 15 seconds • Level 3, less than 30 seconds • Fast and flexible response broadens use to include a wide range of applications Nexsan Boy and Beast Gen Prod Family Pres GA110909-A 14
