Nexenta Announces Enterprise File Services-based Software Defined Storage for Multi Cloud Environments
Software Only Storage Solution Brings Full Featured Enterprise File Services to Hyper-Converged Infrastructures
SAN JOSE, Calf. - August 22nd, 2018- Nexenta (@Nexenta), the global leader in Open Source-driven Software-Defined Storage (OpenSDS) today announced enterprise support and availability of a virtual deployed storage appliance, enabling enterprises to expand their hyper-converged infrastructure, applications, and workload flexibility. In tandem with this comes the latest versions of their leading storage software solutions, adding functionality to further accelerate their support for today’s enterprises in private, public, hybrid, and multi clouds.
The newest version of Nexenta’s full-featured software-defined storage (SDS) for enterprise applications, NexentaStor 5.1.2, offers the ultimate flexibility. This virtual machine deployment model of the award-winning NexentaStor unified storage software provides secure enterprise file services for hyper-converged appliance users as well as VMware users with traditional block only storage arrays without any additional hardware purchase. The use of the virtual storage appliance augments the already industry-leading hardware compatibility list for bare metal installations of NexentaStor.
Some examples for optimizing the combination of NexentaStor and HCI include:
- User Directories & Profiles – for VDI on HCI, adding NexentaStor enables you to add rich NAS capabilities to your server-based infrastructure without any additional hardware.
- Branch Office Consolidation – NexentaStor uses scheduled replication to a central office or public cloud hosted repository for an excellent combination of local user file access and centralized protection.
- Backup – Adding NexentaStor to HCI enables customers to consolidate more workloads and make full use of available hardware resources by providing the NAS interface needed for backup applications.
- Line of Business Applications – Linux and Windows applications migrated to HCI often come with requirements for NFS and SMB file services with strong security and user access controls, making NexentaStor VSA a perfect complement for Enterprise applications on HCI.
- Regulatory Compliance – Increased security of PI data through data at rest encryption regardless of the encrypt-ability of the underlying HCI or traditional Storage
"NexentaStor VSA on Hyper-converged infrastructure adds mature and proven enterprise NAS file services without requiring any incremental hardware and eliminates the need to purchase a separate hardware appliance." explains Thomas Cornely, Chief Product Officer "Our software-only, storage solution features a rich feature set including unlimited snapshots and clones, inline data reduction, thin provisioning and remote replication to any other NexentaStor or NexentaCloud in AWS instance."
To support the growing need for public and hybrid cloud infrastructures, Nexenta’s latest product NexentaCloud in Amazon Web Services (AWS) allows enterprises to run their core business applications, which utilizes file and block storage native to AWS, while fully integrating with on-premises solutions. Offering enterprise-class features such concurrent NFS and SMB file sharing with strong ACLs and Active-Directory integration, snapshots, cloning, data compression and remote replication, NexentaCloud in AWS delivers a comprehensive data storage solution that supports business-critical functions including business continuity and self-service test/development.
Nexenta brings these solutions together under a comprehensive and modern storage framework NexentaFusion, a centralized management and analytics product. NexentaFusion 1.2 provides simplified scaling and management through a single pane for reporting, monitoring, analytics, and orchestration for your storage assets. Now working in tandem with Amazon Web Services API, the new release enables customers through the NexentaFusion UI to quickly provision new instances of NexentaCloud in AWS. Through the “One-Click” deployment model customers can select performance type and capacity and let NexentaFusion automatically take care of provisioning NexentaCloud in AWS.

Data Dynamics and Nexenta Partner to Accelerate the transition to Software Defined Hybrid and Multi Clouds
Enterprises Improve Agility and Productivity with Joint Offering that Seamlessly Analyzes, Moves, Manages and Modernizes Data Systems
TEANECK, N.J. & SAN JOSE, CA – March 22, 2018 – Data Dynamics®(@DataDynamicsInc), a leader in intelligent file management and Nexenta (@Nexenta), the global leader in Open Source-driven Software-Defined Storage (OpenSDS), today announced a joint partnership that empowers enterprises to free themselves from legacy storage systems and efficiently modernize their data centers to software defined storage and cloud.
Today’s fast-paced businesses need scalability to keep up with the growth of data consumption and the rapid emergence of new applications. With data-growth outpacing the typical IT budget, businesses are increasingly adopting strategies that leverage open source, software-defined and cloud storage, which can be dynamically provisioned to match business priorities while removing vendor lock-in and reducing capital and operational costs.
StorageX from Data Dynamics helps customers store the data they have, tag the data for analytic review and movement, and determine the best fit and value for the analyzed data. Migrating data from outdated and expensive legacy storage platforms is commonly the immediate challenge that enterprises face.
Organizations are challenged with large amounts of unstructured data that has become isolated and difficult to move across incompatible platforms, and often require multiple IT resources and consultants in the upgrade process. Data Dynamics and Nexenta enable businesses to update their data center, embrace software defined storage and painlessly move their data from legacy storage systems with confidence.
As a pioneer in open source-driven software-defined storage solutions, Nexenta’s core technology enables organizations to run their businesses securely, flexibly, and cost effectively. It helps to deploy web-scale solutions which can run everyday business applications smoothly. In addition, Nexenta storage is expandable enough to respond to fast-changing technology trends from social media, mobility, ever-growing big data solutions, and the emerging Internet of Things paradigm.
“Nexenta is continuing its massive market disruption where legacy hardware storage companies had dominated the industry for the past 30+ years. We are delighted with our solid market growth via our tight customer and partner relations, deep IP innovation and unmatched operational excellence. We are delighted to partner with Data Dynamics in getting customers out of the old and into the new way of doing storage,” said, Tarkan Maner, CEO at Nexenta.
“Enterprises today view file management as a strategic initiative to facilitate business agility, but as content becomes richer and more dynamic, and software-defined storage continues to gain widespread adoption, companies struggle with identifying the appropriate workloads to transition and the best means of automating the workflow,” said Cuong Le, Senior Vice President Field Operations, Data Dynamics. “StorageX automates the lifecycle management of end user and application based unstructured data by providing a centralized dashboard with aggregate and drill down views of global footprints, tied to automated movement based on business requirements. This truly makes it a powerful and must have platform for all enterprise customers.”
