Exos SCALE

Extreme Density, Zero Compromise

Maximise capacity per rack with high-density JBOD infrastructure for software-defined environments. For organisations riding exponential data growth, Exos SCALE systems offer high-density JBODs built for hyperscale and hybrid. SAS-4 throughput, SDS-friendly design and operational simplicity reduce cost and risk, while Mozaic-ready enclosures safeguard your capacity roadmap for tomorrow's drives.

Order Ahead — Global Storage Shortages Are Stretching Lead Times to 6+ Months. AI hyperscalers have locked up the majority of Seagate and Western Digital's hard drive production. If you'll need SCALE capacity in six months' time, the right moment to order is now.

Core Platform Advantages

  • High-density, highly efficient storage enclosures — maximises capacity per rack unit for efficient scaling without expanding data centre footprint.
  • Support for current + next-generation high-capacity HDDs — protects long-term infrastructure investments by enabling seamless adoption of higher-capacity drives as technologies evolve.
  • Adaptive software-agnostic architecture — offers flexibility to deploy, change or evolve object, file or software-defined storage platforms without proprietary lock-in.
  • Fully redundant, hot-swappable components — simplifies maintenance and expansion while minimising downtime and operational risk in live environments.
  • Flexible HDD, SSD + hybrid configurations — allows enterprises to tailor performance and capacity to specific workload requirements without changing systems.
  • Optimised power, cooling + system stability — reduces energy consumption per usable terabyte while advanced vibration and thermal mitigation helps maintain consistent performance in high-density environments.
  • Standards-based management + integration — streamlines deployment and monitoring across heterogeneous environments, reducing complexity for infrastructure teams.
  • Enterprise-grade build + proven reliability at scale — delivers predictable performance in large, long-running deployments for data-intensive, business-critical environments.
