71 Nexenta Testimonials

"We like that with Nexenta we were able to calculate the cost for the entire life span of the system right from day one. With other vendors it is extremely difficult to plan budgets after the initial three years. Our experience was that cost for support quickly gets out of hand with legacy vendors. Since we are in the public sector we cannot plan for expensive services three years ahead."

"The biggest benefit is that it actually works – that it actually delivers what it promised it would deliver. Since we switched to the Nexenta solution in Falkenberg, we haven’t had any outages and we don’t have any complaints such as ‘my server isn’t performing as it should’ or ‘we don’t get the performance that we need.’ So it saves us a lot of time. Since we resolved the performance issue, I have only spent about 2 hours administering that solution, which makes a lot of hours to do other stuff – which is good."

"This was very significant to us. About 97 percent of the virtual machines(VMs) that we store on Nexenta are Linux VMs which don’t contain anything other than just basic text files. So this meansthat the built-in compression in ZFS saved us about one TB of used data. Thinking of the compression, it’s excellent and when we were looking through the figures and graphs we will not be needing to buy more storage in quite some time.”

"The solution from Nexenta puts us at the forefront of technology innovation. Not only does it ensure we have the best performance and scalability, at a more affordable price, it takes away vendor lock in issues and allows for a more flexible infrastructure, now and in the future."

"We were feeling the heat, both literally and figuratively, from our legacy storage system. Failures from overheating and age were causing downtime for staff and delays in customer response time. Nexenta was able to solve all these issues, easily and within budget."

"We know we have to add storage as we grow, but the cost of adding a full rack to our existing system was prohibitive to our business... [with Nexenta] we can scale indefinitely to meet our needs."

"Nexenta provides a single consolidated interface that offers the right performance, with better functionality, at a fraction of the price of other industry leading NAS solutions."

"Our decision to go with Nexenta will save the the university around $9 million over a five-year period. ‘Tier 1’ storage vendors would have charged 3 to 3.5 times more than the amount negotiated with Nexenta and yet the functionality was basically the same."

"Nexenta plays a key role in helping us deliver competitive and cost-effective services for our clients: We’ve been able to deliver more IOPs per dollar with Nexenta than we could with any other platform."

"An integrator offered a legacy storage-based solution, which cost more than €100,000. However, the Nexenta solution implemented by Zstor met budget parameters and offered all required features."

"While we were able to meet our customers’ needs, we felt like were weren’t in control of our own destiny when it came to storage. Software-Defined Storage was rising in popularity, and gave us the flexibility not to be locked into anyone’s hardware, so we investigated further. But, we found that not all SDS is created equal. In fact, much of SDS looks a lot like old school storage. With NexentaStor, we not only control our own ecosystem, but we’re seeing impressive performance improvements, including faster delivery of data-intensive applications such as SAP and CRM application use. Overall, we’re seeing a 50% average write latency coupled with a four times performance improvement."

"With Nexenta, we can maximize the effectiveness of our expanding research programs by minimizing the amount of funds that have to go to procuring and managing storage."

“With IT infrastructure, the main thing is you don’t want to have anything brought to your attention, and since we installed Nexenta there have been no trouble tickets and no reports of performance problems with the file systems, it’s just gone as an issue. It’s performing absolutely magnificently.”

"We needed a scalable and costeffective file storage solution for our VDI implementation. With Nexenta we could achieve great performance while scaling the storage capacity without excess expense."

"NexentaStor is the leader in three crucial categories: scalability, interoperability, and cost effectiveness. With NexentaStor, we were able to develop and deliver a world-class public cloud service within six months."
