What is Nexenta by DDN (NexentaStor)?

NexentaStor, developed by Nexenta by DDN, is a Software-Defined Storage (SDS) solution specifically designed for enterprise applications. It offers unified file and block storage services that can be deployed on industry-standard hardware. According to the vendor, NexentaStor can scale from tens of terabytes to multi-petabyte configurations, catering to enterprises of all sizes. The product includes a comprehensive set of data management functionality by default, such as inline data reduction, unlimited snapshots, long-distance replication, and simple management with NexentaFusion.

NexentaFusion, another offering from Nexenta, provides centralized management and analytics for storage assets. It offers a single pane of glass reporting, monitoring, analytics, and orchestration capabilities. The vendor claims that NexentaFusion builds on a common REST API framework, simplifying the task of managing petabyte-scale Software-Defined Storage infrastructure.

NexentaStor has been battle-tested with over 2,000 petabytes deployed, according to the vendor. It seamlessly integrates with NexentaCloud, enabling enterprises to have hybrid cloud readiness and facilitating easy data migration and storage between on-premises and cloud environments. The product offers high-performance unified block and file services, making it suitable for demanding applications such as databases, enterprise NAS, and private cloud deployments.

The flexibility of NexentaStor is highlighted by its ability to be deployed on bare metal hardware or as virtual storage appliances on private cloud and hyper-converged infrastructure. This allows users to choose the deployment option that best suits their needs. According to the vendor, this software-defined storage solution eliminates the cost and limitations associated with traditional storage hardware appliances. It provides the freedom to repurpose the software to new hardware or migrate to virtual appliances, potentially reducing total cost of ownership (TCO).

NexentaStor is built on a state-of-the-art self-documenting REST API management framework, offering ease of programmability and orchestration for DevOps teams. It supports various use cases, including moving workloads to flash storage, providing enterprise file services, optimizing virtual workloads, and ensuring backup and archive durability.

To enhance the functionality of NexentaStor, the vendor offers a range of add-ons, including Nexenta High-Availability, Fibre Channel Plug-in, Continuous Asynchronous Replication, VMware vCenter Plug-in, and OpenStack Plug-ins. These add-ons provide additional capabilities and integration options for specific requirements.

NexentaStor works with leading companies such as Cisco, Dell, HPE, Lenovo, Supermicro, and others, offering flexibility in hardware deployment options. Multiple scalable management solutions, including NexentaFusion and VMware vCenter Plugin, are available for service provisioning, monitoring, and advanced storage analytics. The self-documenting REST API framework simplifies orchestration, while the VMware vCenter Web Client Plugin streamlines tasks for VMware administrators.
