Shulou(Shulou.com)06/01 Report--

From August 28th to September 1st, Nexenta, the global leader in the field of open source software-defined storage (OpenSDS), conducted a live demonstration of NexentaStor 2016 and NexentaFusion 2016 on Lars × ×. On August 31, 2016, the enterprise and community version of NexentaFusion 1.0 (GA), which simplifies storage management and analysis, and the latest version of NexentaStor 5.0, the flagship OpenSDS solution, were officially released, continuing to lead the storage market innovation.

NexentaFusion 1.0 and NexentaStor 5.0 leverage state-of-the-art graphical user interfaces, intuitive workflows, DevOps-friendly, self-documenting REST API, and extensive storage analytics to achieve operating cost savings comparable to capital cost savings, making Nexenta a recognized leader in the SDS market.

NexentaFusion 1.0 simplifies the deployment, operation, and operation of a software-defined storage infrastructure of any size never before:

Single management platform to manage multiple NexentaStor Devic

Intuitive provisioning and configuration workflows to simplify business configuration servic

Advanced analysis panel to realize active alarm and simple troubleshooting

NexentaFusion is based on NexentaStor 5.0new self-documenting RESTful API

NexentaStor has a proven track record in successful deployment across multiple industries, helping thousands of enterprises eliminate unnecessary vendor locking, improve agility, and reduce total cost of ownership (TCO) by 50 or more per cent. With the introduction of NexentaStor 5.0, the award-winning file storage / block storage platform offers an advanced all-flash reference architecture and a new core-based high-performance replication (HPR) solution that provides continuous asynchronous replication for applications that need as close to zero target recovery point (RPO) as possible while ensuring performance. NexentaStor provides interoperability through redesigned multi-tenant VMware vCenter plug-ins and VMware vSphere Virtual Volumes support and is an ideal complement to virtual architectures in all industries.

The new VMware vCenter Web client plug-in (vCenter Plugin) for NexentaStor 5.0 provides a unified interface for managing any number of NexentaStor devices. It allows customers to gradually increase storage capacity by adding data storage from the vCenter interface, simplifying the day-to-day operational tasks of administrators, identifying performance bottlenecks, and reviewing capacity utilization trends. VCenter Plugin improves enterprise data protection policies due to the addition of local snapshots and remote replication. The integration of NexentaStor 5.0 and vCenter role-based authentication mechanisms provides a higher level of segmentation and security options for multi-tenant solutions, branch offices, and even departmental storage solutions. NexentaStor 5.0, which provides VMware vSphere Virtual Volumes support, enables all storage operations on NexentaStor to be implemented through virtual machine granularity.

Other enhancements to NexentaStor 5.0include:

Simplify HA management for unified file (NFS and SMB) and block (FC and iSCSI) services

A complete set of self-documenting REST API for development operation and maintenance (DevOps)

Improve the performance of large IO workload streams and support very large storage pool data Record Size

SMB 3 for Hyper-V environment provides kernel-level native support for the system

Core-based high-performance replication (HPR) solution to achieve planned replication, recovery point objective (RPO) no more than one minute

The ability to automatically pause and restart ongoing replication streams to achieve more resilient operations in challenging network environments

New continuous asynchronous replication support to achieve near-zero remote replication for high-performance applications RPO

Advanced support for Docker through Docker volume driver

Fully support OpenStack with OpenStack Cinder drivers for iSCSI and NFS, resulting in a wide range of OpenStack releases

Changes in the community version:

Nexenta is committed to the open source community, so it continues to provide community versions of NexentaStor 5.0 and NexentaFusion 1.0. This single-array home system supports up to 10TB allocated storage space with more than 100000 community transactions. With the release of NexentaStor 5.0, community users will also be able to experience the benefits of the award-winning file storage / block storage platform. The community edition also enables interoperability through redesigned VMware vCenter Web client plug-ins and VMware vSphere Virtual Volumes support.

In other words, the new 5.0 community version of the "free" storage bare capacity management license will be reduced from 4. 0 18TB to 10TB.

Thomas Cornely, Chief Product Officer of Nexenta, said, "NexentaStor 5.0 and NexentaFusion 1.0 not only deliver the industry's most comprehensive software-defined storage infrastructure to address today's complex storage challenges, but also pave the way for future data centers with support for evolving technologies such as all-flash memory (All-Flash). These new solutions provide unparalleled performance and manageability, while achieving operating cost savings comparable to capital cost savings, making Nexenta a recognized leader in the SDS market. "

"the data center is in the process of transformation as enterprises adopt software-defined and all-flash technologies," said Eric Burgener, director of storage research at IDC. "the adoption of solutions such as NexentaStor 5.0and NexentaFusion 1.0will accelerate this change and simplify end customer deployment and management of storage infrastructure."

"this version uses lightning-fast user interface (UI), optimized user experience (UX), unified NexentaStor system management and fine-grained analysis to bring significant improvements and productivity improvements needed for the media and entertainment environment," said Pascal Filion, head of Moment Factory IT's department.

Evgueni Martynov, Department of Enterprise Virtualization and Storage Analysis at the University of Toronto, said: "the new look and feel of NexentaStor and NexentaFusion is very stable, and in terms of architecture, it is very wise to adopt RestAPI."

Lee Caswell, Vice President of Product, VMware Storage and availability, said: "Nexenta and VMware deliver value to customers by integrating innovative SDS solutions for the VMware environment. NexentaStor 5.0 is no exception because its enhanced vSphere Virtual Volumes integration enables virtualization of hardware resources and simplifies management, resulting in complete VMware compatibility."

Travis Vigil, executive director of Dell Storage Product Management, said: "Nexenta has always been an important partner for us to provide flexible and scalable storage solutions to our customers. Nexenta continues to enhance the customer experience and provide extraordinary enhancements to its management capabilities through the release of NexentaStor 5.0 and NexentaFusion."

David Lincoln, general manager of Lenovo Storage, said: "We believe that Nexenta is an important leader in software-defined storage and has established a partnership with it to deliver comprehensive storage solutions to enterprises. Nexenta continues to demonstrate its leadership in this market by releasing NexentaStor 5.0 and NexentaFusion 1.0, delivering new value to our customers."

Don Clegg of Supermicro Marketing, sales and Business Development said: "Nexenta is a strategic partner in developing federated storage platforms optimized for the enterprise, data center and cloud. NexentaStor 5.0 and NexentaFusion 1.0 continue to build a software-defined infrastructure to deliver highly scalable solutions to meet the challenges of today's evolving data centers and dynamic workloads."

Joe Lau, Assistant Vice President of Product Management at SYNNEX Corporation, said, "Nexenta has won a good reputation in this field for its achievements in software-defined storage.
