Nexenta Continues to Lead Storage Market Disruption with Advanced Open Software-Defined Storage (OpenSDS) Platform
Simple, Intelligent and Enterprise-Proven Deployment, Management and Operation on Any Hardware Infrastructure via Any Cloud at Any Scale
New NexentaStor 5.0 and NexentaFusion 1.0 Break New Ground with Industry-Leading Portfolio of All-Flash Reference Architectures and Integration with VMware Solutions
SANTA CLARA, Calif. and LAS VEGAS, Nev.— August 30, 2016 — Nexenta (@Nexenta), the global leader in Open Source-driven Software-Defined Storage (OpenSDS), today announced the general availability (GA) of the enterprise and community editions of NexentaFusion 1.0, simplified storage management and analytics, and the newest version of NexentaStor 5.0, the company’s flagship OpenSDS solution.
“The data center is in a state of transformation as the enterprise embraces software-defined and all-flash technologies,” said Eric Burgener, Research Director, Storage at IDC. “The introduction of solutions like NexentaStor 5.0 and NexentaFusion 1.0 is accelerating this change and simplifying the deployment and management of the storage infrastructure for the end customer.”
With a modern state-of-the-art graphical user interface, intuitive workflows, DevOps friendly self-documenting REST APIs and rich storage analytics, NexentaFusion 1.0 and NexentaStor 5.0 deliver operational cost savings that rival the capital cost savings that have made Nexenta the undisputed SDS market leader.
NexentaFusion 1.0 makes deploying, running and operating Software-Defined Storage infrastructure at any scale simpler than ever:
- Single pane of glass to manage multiple NexentaStor appliances,
- Intuitive provisioning and configuration workflows for simple service provisioning,
- Advanced analytics dashboards for pro-active alerting and simple troubleshooting,
- NexentaFusion builds on the new self-documenting RESTful API of NexentaStor 5.0
NexentaStor has a proven track record of successful deployments across a diverse set of industries, helping thousands of enterprises eliminate unwanted vendor lock-in, increase agility and reduce total cost of ownership (TCO) by 50 percent or more. With the introduction of NexentaStor 5.0, the award-winning file-and-block storage platform provides advanced All-Flash reference architectures and a new kernel based high-performance replication (HPR) solution that delivers continuous asynchronous replication for applications that require as close to zero Recover Point Objectives (RPO) as possible without performance degradation. Featuring interoperability via a redesigned multi-tenant VMware vCenter™ plug-in and VMware vSphere® Virtual Volumes™ support, NexentaStor is the ideal complement for virtual infrastructures regardless of industry.
The new VMware vCenter Web Client Plugin (vCenter Plugin) for NexentaStor 5.0 provides a unified interface to manage any number of NexentaStor appliances. It simplifies administrator day-to-day operational tasks by allowing customers to incrementally scale storage by adding datastores from within the vCenter interface, identify performance bottlenecks and review capacity utilization trends. Augmented by local snapshots and remote replication, the vCenter Plugin enhances an enterprise’s data protection strategy. Integration of NexentaStor 5.0 with vCenter’s role-based authentication mechanism provides an added level of segmentation and security options for multi-tenant solutions, branch offices and even departmental storage solutions. NexentaStor 5.0 with VMware vSphere Virtual Volumes support allows all storage operations on NexentaStor to be performed with virtual machine granularity.
Other enhancements in NexentaStor 5.0 include:
- Simpler management of HA for unified File (NFS and SMB) and Block (FC and iSCSI) services
- Complete set of self-documenting REST API for DevOps
- Improved performance for streaming large IO workloads with support for extra-large pool record sizes
- Native support for SMB 3 for Hyper-V environments
- Kernel based high-performance replication (HPR) solution for scheduled replication with sub-minute RPOs
- Ability to automatically pause and resume on-going replication streams for more resilient operations in challenging network environments
- New support for continuous asynchronous replication for close to zero RPO long-distance replication of high performance applications
- Advanced support for Docker via Docker volume driver
- Full support for OpenStack with OpenStack Cinder drivers for iSCSI and NFS for a broad set of OpenStack releases
“NexentaStor 5.0 and NexentaFusion 1.0 not only deliver the industry’s most comprehensive Software-Defined Storage infrastructure to tackle today’s complex storage challenges, but it paves the way for tomorrow’s data center with its support of evolving technologies like All-Flash,” said Thomas Cornely, Chief Product Officer at Nexenta. “These new solutions offer unparalleled performance and ease of management while delivering operational cost savings that rival the capital cost savings that make Nexenta an undisputed SDS market leader.”
Live demonstrations of NexentaStor 5.0 and NexentaFusion 1.0 will take place at VMworld 2016 in Las Vegas on Aug. 28-Sept. 1.
“With a lightning quick UI, optimized UX, unified NexentaStor systems management and fine-grained analytics, this release brings major refinements and productivity gains indispensable within Media and Entertainment environments.” said Pascal Filion, Head of IT at Moment Factory.
"The new look and feel of NexentaStor and NexentaFusion is very solid and architecturally, it is well thought out by using the RestAPI," said Evgueni Martynov, Enterprise Virtualization & Storage Analyst at the University of Toronto.

Nexenta’s Field Chief Technology Officer (CTO), Michael Letschin (@mletschin) will lead the first session titled, “Journey to the SDDC: The Who, What, Why and Oh No of Moving to a Modern Data Center Platform.” Letschin will discuss how the data center of today is dependent on flexibility and efficiency, which is a drastic change from vendor-driven monolith solutions of the past. He will delve into how the data center has transitioned from the cost center of old to today’s software-defined center and will focus on exploring the types of solutions that can enhance today’s systems, from all-flash to software-defined storage and networking. In this session, multiple customers will share their insights on the pros and cons of making this transition into the modern data center. This session (STO9449-SPO) will take place on Wednesday, August 31, from 9:30-10:30 a.m. PT at South Pacific D, Level 1, Mandalay Bay Convention Center.
Letschin will also present with Bryan Young, Senior Product Line Manager at VMware, in a joint session titled, “File Services on Virtual SAN.” Letschin and Young will discuss the considerations for using Virtual SAN to deliver file services to an organization and will explore virtual NAS based solutions that address file services with both NFS and SMB protocols. They will share reasons as to why Virtual SAN is ideal for file services, while providing details of several partner solutions and design tradeoffs when selecting a particular solution. This session (STO9423) will take place on Wednesday, August 31, from 4:00-5:00 p.m. PT at Islander G, Level 1, Mandalay Bay Convention Center.
