Changing the paradigm of storing the growing volumes of long-term, persistent data.

Today, the vast majority of information is created digitally and is overloading IT storage infrastructures' ability to cost effectively cope with the overwhelming quantity of digital information. Effectively managing the growth and costs surrounding the massive volumes of persistent (typically written once but accessed infrequently), is essential. Finding ways to reduce costs, simplify management and ease integration are becoming increasingly difficult for customers in data-rich environments.

COPAN Systems provides the flexibility for data-rich organizations to architect the most effective way to store and manage thier rapidly growing volumes of persistent data. Whether your needs are for increased data protection, better data archiving, implementing tiered storage or creating a more power efficient data center, COPAN System's offers solutions and products to meet your challenges.

With COPAN Systems' products, enterprises can create complete data protection strategies for their persistent data, all while benefitting from the advantages of unmatched density, scalability, and energy efficiency provided by Enterprise MAID.

COPAN Systems removes the pain associated with tape recovery and management and the cost and footprint associated with typical disk solutions.

COPAN Systems solutions provide the following for the backup, recovery and archiving of persistent data:

• Unprecedented reliability - six times more reliable than traditional spinning disk solutions
• Massive scalability - from 28 TB to 896 TB raw capacity
• High Density - 89.6 TB per ft.²
• Small Footprint - 10 ft. ²
• Energy Efficiency - up to 85% more efficient than traditional, always spinning disk solutions

COPAN Systems' technology simplifies your long-term data storage, drastically lowers your utility costs, and frees up valuable data center floor space.

MAID vs. Enterprise MAID

MAID (Massive Array of Idle Disks) is a storage technology that employs a large group of disk drives in which only those drives in active use are spinning at any given time. This reduces power consumption and prolongs the life of the drives. MAID is designed for Write Once Read Occasionally (WORO) applications.

Enterprise MAID - Purpose-built for Long-term, Persistent Data Storage

Enterprise MAID is COPAN Systems' purpose-built MAID architecture for the storage of long-term, persistent data and was created to solve today's storage challenges surrounding disk to disk and tape backup.
