Nexenta Delivers Next Generation Software Defined Storage Solutions
Nexenta Delivers Next Generation Software Defined Storage Solutions
New Solutions Enable Enterprises to Easily Migrate to Software Defined Data Centers and the
Cloud with Improved Simplicity, Reliability and Management
SANTA CLARA, Calif. and London, United Kingdom — February 26, 2014 — Nexenta (@Nexenta), the global leader of Software Defined Storage (SDS) (#softwaredefinedstorage) solutions, today announced the latest release of NexentaStor™, the award-winning SDS solution and a key building block of the Software Defined Data Center. The announcement was made today at Cloud Expo Europe 2014 in London. This release of NexentaStor will be available in 2Q2014.
NexentaStor has strategically impacted the storage industry to lower TCO, and with the imminent release of NexentaStor 4.0 the business and technology benefits will exceed basic economics. NexentaStor is the leading commercial-grade SDS implementation, and SDS is key components of the mounting shift towards a Software Defined Data Center.
"The volume and type of data being collected by enterprises today is moving storage to the forefront of CIO and IT agendas," according to Donna Taylor, Research Director, IDC. "This data deluge is creating very real and very pressing issues to organizations struggling to keep up. In such environments, storage is becoming a strategic company-wide issue and companies are eager to find solutions that balance security, price, performance and reliability."
Today, Nexenta shares the continued innovation of its industry-leading NexentaStor open storage solution. Enhancements include:
- 50% reduction in HA failover times
- Embedded intelligence in the Fault Management Architecture (FMA) which detects and resolves issues around failing hardware to reduce performance impacts
- Improved problem isolation that provides better reliability and visibility
- Reduced latencies to end users with the addition of Server Message Block (SMB) 2.1 support
- Simplified administration with the new wizard-driven storage pool with configuration and deployment tools
- Dramatic improvement in performance with support for 512GB memory
- Significant replication improvements with a highly improved AutoSync service
- Numerous additional SNMP MIBs and Traps for increased observability and monitoring
- Code base migration to Illumos open-source OS, for improvements in security, management and monitoring
- Improves stability and supportability
- Seamless upgrade from all existing NexentaStor versions
"Software Defined Data Center is the future in IT; and Nexenta is at the forefront of this movement," said Tarkan Maner, Chairman and CEO of Nexenta. "Our Software Defined Storage solutions have already changed the traditional storage management approach with our fast-growing customer and partner ecosystem. With today's announcement of NexentaStor 4.0, we are extending our substantial TCO advantages by adding disruptive technology capabilities along with additional business benefits for organizations who are sick and tired of the IT status quo."
With NexentaStor 4.0, enterprises can continue to liberate themselves from the traditional hardware-centric storage approach and have a fully featured, unified solution that scales to meet growing storage requirements on any platform. NexentaStor offers enterprise capabilities for data integrity and workload performance, providing customers the flexibility to select their storage operating system independently from the hardware on which it runs, while commodity storage hardware tends to lack defense against silent data corruption, is difficult to manage, and suffers in performance as storage needs grow.

New Forrester Research Market Study Confirms Nexenta Software Defined Storage Customers Enjoy High Return on Investment
New Forrester Research Market Study Confirms Nexenta Software Defined Storage Customers Enjoy High Return on Investment
SANTA CLARA, Calif., - February 19, 2014 - Nexenta (@Nexenta), the global leader of Software Defined Storage (SDS) (#softwaredefinedstorage) solutions, today announced a Total Economic Impact (TEI) commissioned study conducted by Forrester Consulting that focuses on enterprise Software Defined Storage and examines the potential return on investment (ROI) using NexentaStor™ technology.
The study provides readers with a framework to evaluate the potential financial impact of NexentaStor on their organizations. The TEI model and methodology help companies demonstrate, justify and realize the tangible value of IT initiatives. The methodology consists of four components to evaluate investment value: benefits, costs, risks and flexibility. Forrester determined that Nexenta’s Software Defined Storage solution, NexentaStor, resulted in material cost savings and avoidance and scalable business benefits.
A customer in the study noted that by configuring the SSD-accelerated system to use NFS, NexentaStor reduced connectivity costs by about 70 percent. The study found that NexentaStor offered an ROI of 81 percent over three years. The various benefits for the interviewed customer included:
- Hardware cost savings
- Enabled capabilities and business impact
- Solution efficiency
"Adopting SDS and NFS creates opportunities to use nonproprietary hardware and avoids 'built-in' markups from legacy storage providers," according to the Forrester Consulting study. "The customer estimated that it reduced hardware costs by 70 percent. Not only does this allow the customer to source hardware more competitively, the customer also gets the flexibility to upgrade to the highest-end storage as needed."
"This study provides detailed and quantitative proof on how our customers are leveraging Nexenta's SDS solutions for CAPEX and OPEX flexibility, virtualization enhancement, and increased performance," according to Tarkan Maner, Chairman and CEO of Nexenta. "As with many of our customers, in an environment of shrinking IT budgets and increasing expectations, the cost savings and flexibility are key reasons for the choice of Nexenta."
This study provided additional findings on the value of the Nexenta Software Defined Solution. Contact sales@nexenta.com for additional information.
