"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."

"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."

"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."

“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 …

"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 …

"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 …

"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 …

"We knew the technology well and NexentaStor had the OpenStack Cinder driver already. We were confident that NexentaStor could meet our requirements. Dell and Nexenta had already supported reference architectures that deliver on enterprise requirements like ours."

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