Systems Integrator NetNordic Selects Nexenta Software-Defined Storage Solutions to Build Centralised Storage Repository
Santa Clara, CA and London, UK – August 16, 2016 – Nexenta, (@Nexenta) the global leader in Open Source-driven Software-Defined Storage (OpenSDS), today announced that NetNordic, an independent systems integrator, specialising in networking solutions and cloud-based services, has chosen NexentaStor to create a centralised storage repository for the company and its customer base.
Founded in 2001, NetNordic is comprised of two main departments – Network Solutions and Enterprise Communications. Between these business entities, the company boasts more than 80 operators and 300 enterprise and government customers throughout Norway, Sweden, Denmark and Finland.
NetNordic’s business was growing rapidly and with an increasing number of customers, it found that its storage solution was struggling and suffering from high latency and low availability. In fact, the latency would on occasion spike so high that it made the ESX freeze – a huge performance flaw that was impacting the level of service provided to customers. NetNordic made the decision to review the market and opted for Software-Defined Storage (SDS) as it offered greater value for money and would provide the scalability needed for the coming years.
NetNordic turned to NexentaStor, which is now the organisation’s centralised storage repository for its own business, as well as its customers. NetNordic currently uses the snapshot function for backups, and is looking to buy another Nexenta system to replicate the snapshots to another site. NetNordic has also been highly impressed by Nexenta’s compression. While its previous solution had very little available space, NexentaStor offered an extra 1TB of data with compression turned on.
“This was very significant to us,” said Sander Petersson, operations engineer at NetNordic. “About 97 percent of the virtual machines (VMs) that we store on Nexenta is Linux VMs which doesn’t contain anything other than just basic text files. So this means that the built in compression in ZFS saved us about one TB of used data. Thinking of the compression, it’s excellent and when we’re looking through the figures and graphs we will not be needing to buy more storage in quite some time.”
The company has also been impressed with NexentaStor’s HA integration. NetNordic’s NOC monitors a lot of businesses’ infrastructure and it is imperative that it does not go down. The monitoring system is performance heavy, but the combination of NexentaStor and HA can cope with the workload, while providing good value for money.
NetNordic is delighted with the fact it now has more choice. The team is benefitting from a scalable solution that avoids hardware vendor lock-in. It has also been able to offer more services to its customers since installing NexentaStor and is beginning to offer more cloud services and tools where clustering is required. Prior to implementing Nexenta, NetNordic didn’t have the centralised storage it needed to do so effectively, but now can, meaning Nexenta has provided the opportunity to do far more with its storage.
For further information, please refer to the NetNordic case study.

Nexenta ‘Future Proofs’ Storage for Northern Arizona University Researchers
NAU Deploys Industry-Leading, Open Source-Driven Software-Defined Storage (OpenSDS) to Process Big Data Items like Genome Maps, Landsat Images and Complex Chemistry Data Sets
SANTA CLARA, Calif.—July 13, 2016 — Nexenta (@Nexenta), the global leader in Open Source-driven Software-Defined Storage (OpenSDS), today announced Northern Arizona University (NAU) has deployed NexentaStor to handle the extensive datasets involved in research conducted at the university.
NAU faculty and graduate students are renowned for their research in astronomy, bioinformatics, computational chemistry, cropland mapping, human microbiome analysis and microbial genomics—all generating big data items such as genome maps, Landsat images and complex chemistry data sets. As these data sets grew over the years, they exceeded the capacity and compute power of NAU’s individual research labs, so the High-Performance Computing (HPC) team led by Research Administrator, Christopher Coffey, centralized compute and storage to better assist researchers with their work.
Coffey said he reviewed a variety of storage options, including SAN-based RAID systems, and roll-your-own ZFS solutions. His goal was to find one complementary to the university’s existing HPC system, which consists of Dell servers and Mellanox’s InfiniBand/Virtual Protocol Interconnect (VPI) switches with Connect X3 cards.
“No other option we looked at surpassed Nexenta’s features, flexibility and ZFS support,” said Coffey. “Since implementation of the Nexentastor appliance, it’s been hands off, requiring minimal maintenance, which is a big deal for us.”
NexentaStor delivers archival/intermediate storage with compression, and achieves petabyte-scale active archives. Its snapshots capability enables the retrieval of original or lost files locally via Network File System (NFS) and Server Message Block (SMB) object services from around the campus. In addition, the system removes the need for prep steps prior to moving data into place for analysis.
Coffey says he and his team value the compression achievable from Nexenta’s solution because they’re saving money by reducing the footprint of the datasets. The virtual nature of the SDS extends the purchased physical storage beyond what is ordinarily possible, according to Coffey.
“Large research universities epitomize today’s diverse, complex and performance-intensive organizations that crave IT systems with storage built to flexibly respond to any scenario, including unforeseen changes,” said Tarkan Maner, Chairman and CEO of Nexenta Systems. “NAU’s HPC team chose Nexenta because our approach to SDS meets their needs today and exceeds their expectations going forward.”
Please refer to the NAU HPC Case Study for more implementation details.

Nexenta Redefines the Storage Industry – Again – with the Industry’s First Container-Ready, Scale-Out Software-Defined Storage Solution; Simpler, Faster, Scale-Out Block and Object Storage for OpenStack and Docker Clouds
NexentaEdge Enables Container-Converged Infrastructures and Application Mobility; Provides Persistent Storage Services to Docker-based Application Microservices Running on the Same Servers
SANTA CLARA, Calif. – April 25, 2016 — Nexenta (@Nexenta), the global leader in Open Source-driven Software-Defined Storage (OpenSDS), today announced significant updates to its award-winning block and object storage platform, NexentaEdge, including seamless integration with OpenStack and Docker environments.
NexentaEdge was the first software-only, scale-out, multi-service storage solution to deliver cluster-wide inline deduplication and compression, offering high-performance, simplified management of petabyte-scale repositories. Now, with the latest updates, the block and object software-defined platform includes additional performance optimizations for all-flash and hybrid configurations, tightly integrates with the OpenStack ecosystem to simplify deployments in OpenStack clouds, and adds support for container-based deployments and Docker environments.
“While both OpenStack and container technologies are growing in adoption, scalable storage is a key component in optimizing these ecosystems for the enterprise,” said Henry Baltazar, Research Director, Storage at 451 Research. “Legacy hardware appliances cannot provide the scalability demanded by rapidly growing data volumes. Companies need to look to software-defined storage to take advantage of the inherently flexible nature of OpenStack and container environments.”
In addition to full iSCSI, NexentaEdge now supports native block device services, allowing hyperconverged OpenStack deployments to run Nova nodes directly on the NexentaEdge cluster. To fully automate deployment and configuration of NexentaEdge nodes in Canonical OpenStack environments, Juju Charms are available from the Canonical Juju Charms Store. All NexentaEdge Cinder drivers are also fully integrated in the OpenStack Mitaka release.
”We selected NexentaEdge as our scale-out storage solution to support a petabyte scale OpenStack cloud for the university,” said Dr. Paul Calleja, Director of High Performance Computing Service (HPCS) at the University of Cambridge. “NexentaEdge’s storage efficiency using cloud copy-on-write, inline cluster-wide deduplication and compression allowed us to get the most out of our existing hardware and provision more virtual machines. The ease of management with a self-healing, self-balancing core for automatic avoidance of hot spots and failed components has been critical in supporting more than 20,000 students and faculty.”
“We have implemented a content delivery solution using NexentaEdge along with Pluribus Networks switch software on Dell switches,” said Joe Little, representing a technology department at a leading private university in California. “The combination of the NexentaEdge Replicast™ protocol and the Multi-Listener Discovery support provided by Pluribus Networks VCF-powered switches allow for the deployment to scale out as needed while maintaining low latency between storage nodes.”
Additional product enhancements include:
- Cinder drivers for OpenStack Icehouse, Juno, Kilo, Liberty and Mitaka releases, with full integration in the OpenStack Mitaka release.
- High performance block services for hybrid and all-flash configurations.
- Contrary to most scale-out software solutions on the market, NexentaEdge runs directly on raw physical devices in its storage nodes, eliminating the complexity and performance overhead of local file systems on these devices. For hybrid configurations, NexentaEdge leverages SSDs in each storage node to coalesce random write IOs and serialize the data that is pushed to backend disks.
- Simple deployment and configuration through Canonical Juju Charms.
- Performance profile based software deployment and streamlined management through self-documenting REST APIs and cluster CLI.
- Container-based deployment option, providing persistent storage services to Docker based application microservices running on the same servers.
- While NexentaEdge can be deployed on a wide variety of x86 based industry standard servers, Nexenta maintains detailed NexentaEdge configuration guidelines for:
- Cisco, Dell, HPE, Lenovo and Supermicro servers.
- Arista, Cisco, Dell, Mellanox, Pluribus and Supermicro networks.
Existing key features of NexentaEdge include:
- High performance Swift and S3 Object Services.
- Patented Cloud Copy on Write design delivering enterprise grade data integrity, high performance distributed caching and unlimited space optimized snapshot and clone capabilities.
- Cluster wide in-line deduplication and compression of all data stored in the cluster, at any scale.
- Ability to scale storage capacity and performance (I/O per second or throughput) independently of each other, supporting all flash, hybrid and all disk configurations.
- Low touch operational model with automated capacity and performance balancing with real-time data placement optimization.
“The introduction of NexentaEdge brought the first high performance block and object software-defined scale-out storage solution to deliver cluster-wide inline deduplication and compression to the market,” said Oscar Wahlberg, Director of Product Management at Nexenta. “We are now furthering this innovation by enabling storage freedom and application mobility in Docker environments and offering seamless integration with Canonical OpenStack clouds.”
“Rancher is pioneering how Docker will be implemented in the Enterprise by helping organizations build private container services that run on any infrastructure,” said Sheng Liang, co-founder and CEO at Rancher Labs, Inc. “Nexenta is truly leading the way in building SDS solutions on the container ecosystem, enabling the mobility of application microservices with persistent storage.”
“High performance networking is an integral part of a scale-out storage solution, especially when storage media gets faster with Solid State Drives (SSD) and Non-Volatile Memory (NVM) technologies seeing wider adoption. We’re excited to work with Nexenta to enable linear scalability of their scale-out software-defined storage solution, NexentaEdge, with Mellanox flagship Spectrum switches that feature not only high throughput of 25/40/50/100Gb/s, but also low latency, fairness and zero packet drop,” said Chloe Jian Ma, Senior Director of Cloud Market Development at Mellanox. “With NexentaEdge’s ability to take advantage of advanced networks solutions through NBD support and Replicast, we are confident that this partnership and the joint solution will deliver new value to our customers, meeting the demand for high performance, cost-efficient cloud storage solutions.”
Pricing and Availability
NexentaEdge’s perpetual license lists from $0.15/GB to less than $0.10/GB at capacity plus maintenance and support. NexentaEdge is now also available for purchase directly from the Juju Charm Store or from a Canonical sales representative. For more information, please contact sales@nexenta.com.
