Superior storage for virtualized and cloud

environments

OpenStorage today

Disruption Innovation

“Better, faster, less

expensive and open”

“The first to solve the pain

of storage for VDI and

Cloud”

Unified storage •iSCSI, NFS, CIFS, FC, Infiniband

•Storage w/o limits

•HA, DR, back-up, metro cluster

VDI and Cloud •VSA 4 View

•All SSD

•CloudStack & OpenStack

•Hadoop

Application (software) - Software obviously, runs on any hardware even virtual - Using modern design techniques scalable to thousands Virtualization (software) - Software that runs on commodity hardware - Scalable and easy hardware refresh How about your storage (appliances) - Appliance made by transtec in combination with Nexenta software - Scale by simply adding industrial standard hardware; the concept works Nexenta Systems analogy to VMware - Virtualize industrial standard hardware to a SAN/NAS using Nexenta software

SIMILARITIES ACROSS THE STACK

A typical high level deployment - Hypervisors may use file, block or both Every dataset has specific tunable - compression, primary cache, etc. Accelerate rotational drives - SSD for cache (L2ARC) or write (ZIL)

WHAT DOES IT LOOK LIKE

HYBRID STORAGE ZOOM IN

Hybrid Storage Pool - (3 way) Mirror, single dual and triple parity Have multiple pools per system - Performance, capacity and reliability The right device for the right job - Money can buy bandwidth latency is forever

ARC and L2ARC CACHE

ARC is an intelligent algorithm - who-what-where ? Balance between SSD and DRAM - L1; RAM L2; SSD, scale both Other caches - Per virtual device cache - Intelligent pre-fetch

LOG DEVICE ACCELERATES WRITES

Two types of operations - Sync and Asynchronous writes Performance gets dictated by SSD - Provide fast acknowledge to client ESX does only sync NFS writes - Raise the bar; low latency SSD Random writes become sequential writes - When timer fires data is flushed to disks

ideal backup target Virtualization Hybrid storage pooling (native SSD), hot data optimization, management, deduplication,

snap shots, replication, compression make us an ideal solution for virtualization Cloud Strong virtualization, low cost enterprise HA cluster, replication make NexentaStor a good

platform for cloud infrastructure

PLUG-INS

Software Plug-ins

• High Availability Cluster - Single and dual active-active fail-over configuration options to increase availability

• VM Data Center - View and manage your entire virtualized VMware, Citrix Xen or Microsoft Hyper-V infrastructure from a simple point and click interface. Setup backups, provision storage, setup replication & retention policies, and perform common tasks, such as stopping & starting VMs or creating template-based clones.

• Delorean - Windows Back-up, Restore & Search Application - ZFS-powered backup for Windows with VSS clients. Select files and folders to protect via built-in File Explorer interface.

NAMESPACE CLUSTER

• Scales out NexentaStor NFS clusters • Distribute load across systems through intelligent analytics and background migration • Adds penultimate level to industry leading multi-level data protection • Scale limits have to do with simultaneous access to single file or directory • No limit on amount of storage, number of clients, number of clusters • Manage the entire name space from any node, on demand
