"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."
"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."
"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."
“We need to upgrade our data storage infrastructure so as to meet the expanding demands of our business. The solution had to be easy, compatible with many applications, and within our budget. The bottom line was about system performance and end-user productivity.”
"The performance is incredible and management is intuitive and straightforward. We also like being able to use NFS, as opposed to iSCSI, without suffering any reductions in speed."
"Because the Nexenta system is so redundant, it can be put on Supermicro, which costs us about $416 / TB. That is well below the industry average, and there is no additional licensing for replication. At that cost, the Nexenta SDS practically recovers its cost on delivery."

"We needed a proper storage solution to support our growth because our data was growing at around 25TB a year. If we lose our data, it would be a disaster. At the end of the process, it was pretty obvious that for the features I was looking for and compared to the price, Nexenta was the best competitor."
"Today we process more than 600,000 files each day. This huge amount requires advanced technology on all fronts and storage is a critical success factor for our business. Our market is a tough one and we constantly need to improve our system to make it more efficient and cost effective."
"Three years ago the price of our Nexenta implementation was initially a huge driver, but it was the performance that astounded us. Replication, in-cache memory, and tiering capabilities are why we are so pleased with our implementation."
"Network engineers throughout Cox Communications were limited in the testing they could do because we lacked the flexible storage options to support it. Now, though, they can do what they think is best, running as many tests as they need. This helps ensure we provide our customers with the most reliable and best-performing network service available."
"We were impressed with Nexenta’s use of OpenSolaris. When we tested Nexenta, the performance blew us away."
"What sets us apart in the testing of the first system immediately noticed were the advantages of ZFS . ZFS is incredibly powerful. It contains functions that are at other systems look in vain , such as the self -healing file system that creeping Data corruption prevented. NexentaStor is very flexibly , and we can all use conceivable requirements : powerful HA cluster , simple primary storage or a super powerful version for maximum Speed , high-performance computer systems to our to support."
“With the new SSD solution from Nexenta and HGST we have created a solution that will continue to scale with us. We now have 24/7 business continuity and ultimately have a solution that we can rely on. The environment can be scaled to cope with our annual growth while the total cost of ownership (TCO) remains low.”
“We have seen between a 50:1 to 20:1 reduction in storage capacity since moving to NexentaStor. On top of that, we were able to significantly reduce the amount of data under management with thick provisioning. We’ve also seen a huge advantage with SSD write ahead logs, and the difference in our spikes went from about 20K IOPS to rates of 2 to 3K IOPS now by reducing the number of reads to just a few hundred.”
