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.

MAID Drives are powered on only when data is requested More than 50% of the drives powered off at any one time Large number of densely packaged, power managed disks Lower management and environmental costs with longer drive life

COPAN Systems' Enterprise MAID Maximum of 25% of the drives are powered on at any one time At least 75% of the drives powered off at any one time Patented high-density packaging Save at least 75% in power and cooling costs* POWER MANAGED RAID® software DISK AEROBICS® software

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.

Lowest Cost Solution Savings in operational costs and capital expenses Smallest Disk-Based Storage Footprint 89.6 TB per square foot High Performance Fast Restores from a 5.2 TB/hour system Breakthrough Energy Efficiency Save up to 85% on power and cooling costs

Simple Management GUI-based management of ~3/4 of a PB of data Unprecedented Scalability 28 TB to 896 TB in a single cabinet Unmatched Reliability 6x greater drive reliability than traditional disk-based systems Minimizes Costly Product Refreshes

COPAN Systems' Patented Canister Technology

• Patented (patent # 7145770) mounting scheme to eliminate "rotational vibration" within a storage shelf
• Canister technology enables efficient and quick servicing of 14 disk drives
• Data is striped across canisters with a shelf in 3+1 RAID sets
