• Back-Up: In-line deduplication, replication and potential as a multi-protocol target make us an ideal backup target.
• Virtualization: Hybrid storage pooling (native SSD support), hot data optimization, management, deduplication, snap shots, replication, compression make us an ideal solution for virtualization.
• Cloud: Strong virtualization, low cost enterprise HA cluster, replication make NexentaStor a good platform for cloud infrastructure.

NexentaStor 3.0 is HERE!

Nexenta has produced the newest version of NexentaStor 3.0! NexentaStor continues to break through the legacy storage shackles to provide greater savings and functionality to the consumer.

• The new version of NexentaStor is the first to incorporate ZFS-based in-line deduplication.
• With the addition of support for Microsoft Hyper-V, NexentaStor with VMDC is the only solution that manages storage for VMware, Citrix Xen and Hyper-V within one solution.
• Increased performance, improved disaster recovery, and expanded hardware support.

NexentaStor 3.0

This new version of NexentaStor is the first commercial storage solution to incorporate ZFS-based in-line deduplication, a giant leap forward for the storage industry. NexentaStor 3.0 also includes an upgrade to VM Data Center to include support for Microsoft Hyper-V, making it the only storage management solution for virtualized environments to support all major virtualization vendors. With this release, NexentaStor continues to build on its position as the superior alternative to expensive, vertically integrated and proprietary storage technologies.

NexentaStor 3.0 revolutionizes storage by providing deduplication for primary (production) storage. This functionality enables customers to reduce their use of expensive and scarce primary storage. NexentaStor 3.0 exceeds the functionality of legacy deduplication by also offering bidirectional replication with compression and deduplication, superior end-to-end data integrity, and accelerated I/O through the native use of SSDs and hardware accelerators leveraged by the revolutionary ZFS file system.

All the above listed capabilities are leveraged to their fullest in the Nexenta Virtual Machine Datacenter (VMDC) 3.0 release based on NexentaStor 3.0. With its new support for Microsoft Hyper-V, NexentaStor is the only product to support VMware, Citrix Xen and Hyper-V from a single point within one unified environment, VMDC. 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.

Both NexentaStor and VMDC run on industry-standard hardware, a fundamental pillar of Open Storage, which drives dramatically lower costs than proprietary solutions; cost savings are considerable up front, at initial purchase, and even greater over time as customers are able to purchase capacity expansions from the market for 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 Nexenta 3.0 include:

• 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

• Block Storage
• High Availability
• Content Management
• Data Protection
