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.”

“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.”

“Too many SDS solutions out there are prohibitively expensive for most companies. But we don’t have to worry about that with NexentaStor.”

“Installing a storage solution from Nexenta has allowed us to address our current and future capacity and performance requirements in a cost effective manner. We now have the confidence that our storage is totally aligned to our business, which is a great feeling.”

“We knew that if we wanted to succeed in the Big Data world, we had to resolve the complexity and cost of storage management. Nexenta not only helps us make those challenges disappear, the sophistication and economics of NexentaStor gives us a significant competitive advantage.”

“The benefits of going with Nexenta came down to three important factors: price, simplicity, and manageability. “

“To keep our IT-system flexible enough to react on the quickly changing energy market, we were looking for a new storage system that offered high performance, flexibility and high availability. With Nexenta’s software defined approach we found the right solution.”

“Nexenta’s Software-Defined Storage has made everything much easier, not only does it enable access to CIFS and NFS at the same time, but it has increased capacity and delivered a serious performance boost.”

"We have had very good contact with Nexenta support and its engineers. They always provide a smart solution and explanation for us."

"I worked for some years as a VMware specialist and i had never seen storage with a lot of capacity and good performance until Nexenta"

"Architects on the Maas has created the new Nexenta environment has an advanced, flexible and scalable solution that can grow with the expected storage needs over the next five years."

"the Nexenta concept of open storage attracted our attention immediately, especially from a technical point of view. The possibility of using an open source system and standard hardware and of having unlimited scalability without downtime appealed to us straight away.”

“Nexenta’s OpenStorage software provides advanced caching and, when it is coupled with SSDs, it offers performance that far outstrips our current requirements, allowing us to stay ahead of our customers’ needs whilst still giving us the ability to easily scale up. It also offers enterprise-class redundancy with replication capabilities, including unlimited incremental snapshots and cloning.”
