Expand your Hard Drive production with GenesisXP

Increase throughput, reduce cost and grow revenue.

Margins in the Hard Drive processing sector have been under pressure for some time. As a result, we have designed GenesisXP to reduce operating costs, increase revenue, and ensure compliance.

How does it work?

Genesis provides industry-leading technology and repair capabilities, not seen in any other solution. Uniquely, the functionality delivers unparalleled results with the highest possible yield. GenesisXP enables the expansion of your Genesis infrastructure by attaching additional Disk Enclosures (JBODs) for Test, Erasure & Grading.

What is equally important, failed drives from GenesisXP or passes at Grade B or C, maybe repairable. Genesis can recover and refurbish many of these devices. In essence; Increased throughput, reduced cost and revenue growth.

GenesisXP Server

All Genesis Systems (8, 16, 32, 64 & 96-Port) are compatible with GenesisXP. The XP solution is connected through a dedicated Server with four SAS/SATA (SAS 3G/6G/12G) outputs attaching to your chosen Disk Enclosures. The Server can be installed neatly in the Genesis cabinet, likewise externally in a Disk Enclosure cabinet of your choice. GenesisXP is compatible with all the major enclosure brands, except IBM StorWize.

Integrated Solution & GUI

GenesisXP seamlessly integrates into the Aurora GUI/TouchScreen. Simply toggle through the enclosures to view individual drives on test. The Ultratest Online Web Portal is used to manage all test/erasure processes.

Licencing options

GenesisXP licensing is available for all Genesis configurations, providing additional concurrent active ports, of; 32, 64, 96 or 120+. Testing of over 120 drives is possible with potential performance deficits. Installation of additional servers will provide maximum test speeds. We would advise running additional GenesisXP servers to retain the highest possible speed.

Genesis Guardian – Health Check your Hard Drives

Guardian is an integral bench-marking tool built into the Genesis software to enable users to easily check the health of drives in ‘real-time’. The score is presented as a simple percentage of health. This also provides confidence when buying and selling drives, knowing the health of a drive in an easy to understand way. The score can be viewed on the Aurora GUI or reported via the Genesis Portal.

Streamlined solution

Guardian is configured as a standalone solution across all Genesis models, with no need for any ‘third-party software’. The Guardian health score is automatically displayed on the Aurora GUI on your Genesis display in both the drive cell and the status panel on the right of the screen during the repair process. Full report generation and DUT level analysis is available via the Genesis Online Portal.

The Guardian algorithm

Guardian uses a number of complex algorithms across a number of key attributes within the device to accurately calculate the health of a drive. By providing a ‘before & after’ score, customers are able to precisely measure the improvement & reliability of product produced by their Genesis.

Maximising the value of drives

Genesis’s sophisticated & industry leading repair techniques have the unique ability to regenerate & fix unhealthy drives. Guardian benchmarks the level of health, both prior and post repair. Enabling customers to maximise the financial return on the resale of product by selling more grade A drives.
