71 Nexenta Testimonials

"Compared to other Software Defined Storage solutions, GMO saved around 50-70 percent by deploying a Dell-Nexenta solution."

“NexentaStor has provided us with a cost-effective system that delivers much easier management and the scalability we need going forward.”

"Nexenta’s OpenStorage solution is a clear example of value for money. The solution provides us with enterprise-class features, including hybrid storage pooling, unlimited snapshots, deduplication, and thin provisioning but at half of the price of other traditional storage vendors. The impressive features set also is complimented by its flexibility, is extremely adaptable, and easily can grow with us in the future.”

“We have to slice and dice (large disk images) many ways, many times. This is the reason why we went with NexentaStor.”

“After evaluating Dell EqualLogic and Left Hand Networks, we decided on Nexenta for it’s rich feature set. By far it gave us the best performance for the price point.”

“After researching multiple offerings, we chose the Nexenta solution because it allowed for unlimited growth while maintain tight budgetary considerations, without sacrificing advanced features.”

“Once we implemented virtualization into our IT infrastructure, it forced us to reconsider our storage options. EMC, NetApp, Openfiler, FreeNAS, and OpenSolaris were too expensive or provided no flexibility in hardware. NexentaStor was, by far, the best solution out there, providing the enterprise features we needed.”

"We replaced NetApp 2050 with Nexenta for VMware View. This gave us the best IOPS solution for the end user experience for VDI, while maintaining budgetary sanity."

“Nexenta can be used with industry-standard commodity hardware, so it offers amazing flexibility, scalability, and cost controls.”

“We’re growing. With that comes volumes of data, a trend that is not going to slow down. We needed a storage solution that met our requirements for flexibility and scalability. Nexenta and Pogo provided just that, all on a reasonable budget.”

“To meet our storage growth, we had to upgrade our existing EMC appliance. However, we chose to replace EMC with NexentaStor instead. Nexenta provided best-inclass features and had superior performance compared to the EMC appliance.”

“Nexenta’s OpenStorage solution is a clear example of value for money. The solution provides us with enterprise-class features, including hybrid storage pooling, unlimited snapshots, deduplication, and thin provisioning but at half of the price of other traditional storage vendors. The impressive features set also is complimented by its flexibility, is extremely adaptable, and easily can grow with us in the future.”

"As flash media costs continue to plummet, flash has become surprisingly cost effective. We'll look to use that wherever we can, minimizing our use of spinning disk technology to deliver better service with less management effort on our part. Flash is faster, denser, more power efficient, more reliable and, when combined with software like NexentaStor, also much easier to scale and manage. We've been extremely happy with our experiences with both Nexenta and Western Digital."

"We found the Nexenta engineering team to be very helpful in our configuration, providing what we needed at cost. Nexenta provided 40TB, because that’s what we needed, instead of forcing us to buy 100TB."

"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.”
