- 1. Nexenta Unified Storage Enterprise class storage for everyone NexentaStor provides enterprise class unified storage capabilities via a software solution that ends vendor lock-in while delivering superior storage management functionality with a particular focus on virtualized environments
- 2. WHAT IS NEXENTASTOR? Enterprise class functionality 75% Savings Unified storage: block and file Leading OpenStorage solution • Runs on standard hardware Offers unmatched enterprise features at 70-80% savings: • End to end data integrity • Unlimited file size & snaps • Synchronous and ZFS replication iSCSI SAS FC AoE InfiniBand CIFS iSCSI NFS FC Superior storage for virtualized and cloud environments
- 3. OpenStorage today Disruption Innovation “Better, faster, less expensive and open” “The first to solve the pain of storage for VDI and Cloud” Unified storage •iSCSI, NFS, CIFS, FC, Infiniband •Storage w/o limits •HA, DR, back-up, metro cluster VDI and Cloud •VSA 4 View •All SSD •CloudStack & OpenStack •Hadoop
- 4. Application (software) - Software obviously, runs on any hardware even virtual - Using modern design techniques scalable to thousands Virtualization (software) - Software that runs on commodity hardware - Scalable and easy hardware refresh How about your storage (appliances) - Appliance made by transtec in combination with Nexenta software - Scale by simply adding industrial standard hardware; the concept works Nexenta Systems analogy to VMware - Virtualize industrial standard hardware to a SAN/NAS using Nexenta software SIMILARITIES ACROSS THE STACK
- 5. A typical high level deployment - Hypervisors may use file, block or both Every dataset has specific tunable - compression, primary cache, etc. Accelerate rotational drives - SSD for cache (L2ARC) or write (ZIL) WHAT DOES IT LOOK LIKE
- 6. HYBRID STORAGE ZOOM IN Hybrid Storage Pool - (3 way) Mirror, single dual and triple parity Have multiple pools per system - Performance, capacity and reliability The right device for the right job - Money can buy bandwidth latency is forever
- 7. ARC and L2ARC CACHE ARC is an intelligent algorithm - who-what-where ? Balance between SSD and DRAM - L1; RAM L2; SSD, scale both Other caches - Per virtual device cache - Intelligent pre-fetch
- 8. LOG DEVICE ACCELERATES WRITES Two types of operations - Sync and Asynchronous writes Performance gets dictated by SSD - Provide fast acknowledge to client ESX does only sync NFS writes - Raise the bar; low latency SSD Random writes become sequential writes - When timer fires data is flushed to disks
- 9. THE NEXENTA PICTURE Leveraged existing value chains, improved price performance by 10x, addressed untapped demand Hardware Software Integration Sales, marketing and support Value Added by transtec
- 11.

- 16. HOW DO CUSTOMERS USE NEXENTASTOR? User Scenarios • Primary & Tiered Storage • Application Servers • Data Protection • Streaming Media • Virtualization and Cloud 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), 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
- 17. PLUG-INS Software Plug-ins • High Availability Cluster - Single and dual active-active fail-over configuration options to increase availability • VM Data Center - View and manage your entire virtualized VMware, Citrix Xen or Microsoft Hyper-V infrastructure from a simple point and click interface. Setup backups, provision storage, setup replication & retention policies, and perform common tasks, such as stopping & starting VMs or creating template-based clones. • Delorean - Windows Back-up, Restore & Search Application - ZFS-powered backup for Windows with VSS clients. Select files and folders to protect via built-in File Explorer interface.
- 18. NAMESPACE CLUSTER • Scales out NexentaStor NFS clusters • Distribute load across systems through intelligent analytics and background migration • Adds penultimate level to industry leading multi-level data protection • Scale limits have to do with simultaneous access to single file or directory • No limit on amount of storage, number of clients, number of clusters • Manage the entire name space from any node, on demand
