NexentaStor: a giant leap forward
for the storage industry.
NexentaStor is the first commercial storage solution to incorporate ZFS-based in-line deduplication, a giant leap forward for the storage industry.
VMDC allows storage administrators to see their entire virtual environment and to provision storage and storage policies including backup, replication and retention policies from a simple point and click interface.
NexentaStor is a superior alternative to expensive, vertically integrated and proprietary storage technologies.
NexentaStor revolutionizes storage by providing deduplication for primary (production) storage. This functionality enables customers to reduce their use of expensive and scarce primary storage.
Bi-directional replication with compression and deduplication, superior end-to-end data integrity, and accelerated I/O through the native use of SSDs and hardware accelerators leverages the revolutionary ZFS file system.
Both NexentaStor and VMDC run on industry-standard hardware dramatically lowering costs respect to proprietary solutions; cost savings are considerable upfront, at initial purchase, and even greater over time when capacity expansions is needed and satisfied from industry standard hardware as opposed to being locked-in to the outrageous costs of expanding legacy storage.
Further, by making storage and virtualization management more efficient, NexentaStor with VMDC also reduces operational costs.
Additional capabilities of NexentaStor include:
- Thin provisioning of data volumes
- Triple parity on raid levels (raid Z3)
- Virtually unlimited snapshots
- Greater ease of use for high availability functionality
- Enhanced support for a broader array of hardware including additional models of 10Gbe Ethernet and SAS-2 controllers for increased performance
- Simplified disaster recovery support via additional enhancements to underlying ZFS based replication
