Breeze SM120 Storage Expansion Module
Universal, fully-redundant expansion enclosure for Breeze IP storage systems
 
 
SSD, SAS, & SATA for Unmatched Tiered Storage
The Nimbus Breeze SM120 provides SATA II, 10K rpm SAS, 15K rpm SAS, and Solid State (SSD) storage expansion for Breeze IP storage systems. Since the SM120 leverages the ample bandwidth and processing power of Breeze systems, it is economical, enabling enterprises to reduce cost/TB and achieve economies of scale as the infrastructure is expanded.

Overview Benefits Specifications
Reduce expansion costs by 50% compared to clustered iSCSI arrays
With clustered iSCSI arrays, there are no cost/TB savings as the storage is expanded, leading to excessive capacity costs over time. With Breeze SM120 expansion modules, cost/TB decreases as the system is expanded since only additional capacity is required.

Increase efficiency by scaling the storage on your terms
The Breeze SM120 supports any blend of SATA II, 10K/15K SAS, and SSD drives in the same enclosure. Users can add more storage at their own pace depending on what tier of additional capacity is needed. This pay-as-you-grow approach helps keep initial costs down while ensuring optimal storage utilization over time.

Reduce power/cooling costs by 75% while increasing reliability
By not duplicating all the unnecessary components inside clustered iSCSI servers, the Breeze SM120 consumes as little as 19 watts per managed TB while generating less heat and offering better reliability through simple design and fewer components.
