  • Nexenta Systems has released NexentaStor 2.0, a unified storage solution, delivering enterprise class NAS and SAN capabilities and based on the revolutionary ZFS file system. NexentaStor promises an end to storage vendor lock-in with an open technology and business model.

    "The feedback we have received from Nexenta's existing users has been extremely positive. With NexentaStor 2.0 and the addition of fully automated HA and global phone support, we believe that Nexenta has removed the last barriers to enterprise adoption of NexentaStor," said Terri McClure an analyst with Enterprise Strategy Group.


     As software, NexentaStor can run as a virtual machine, and for larger users of virtualization, NexentaStor offers an optional module called VM Data Center that simplifies the management of storage for virtual environments. The importance of the shift in the storage market towards hardware independent open storage should not be underestimated. Open storage is here, it is important, it is viable, and enterprise-ready," said McClure.


     
    NexentaStor 2.0 also includes the first releases of an optional Windows back-up module called Deloreon 1.0 and of an optional module called Target 1.0, which is used to manage NexentaStor as a block-level target. It marks the second release of VM Data Center, a module included with NexentaStor that assists in the management of storage for virtualized environments.
