71 Nexenta Testimonials

"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."

"The first thing we noticed when we tested the system was that it was built on ZFS which is incredibly powerful and has features built in that are hard to find anywhere else. NexentaStor is also very flexible and we can use it for a powerful high availability (HA) Cluster as well as a high-powered solution for ultimate speed that underpins the systems at the high performance computing department."

"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.”

“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.”

"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."
