Easy-to-use, secure, and ultra-low cost data storage and backup solutions are the need of the hour. Located in Santa Clara, CA, Nexenta Systems, a well-established player in the Open Source-driven Software-Defined Storage solutions space has made a name for itself by tapping on the opportunity. Through NexentaConnect, a complete suite of software solutions, Nexenta combines software-defined storage with cloud, enterprise, and desktop deployments. The suite provides acceleration, automation, and analytics that can only be delivered when storage is integrated with the entire solution stack.

Nexenta, in partnership with VMware, announced that any validated VMware Virtual SAN (storage area network customer) could receive an exclusive promotion of NexentaConnect to achieve file services.

Nexenta acts as a file services component of VMware Virtual SAN. “NexentaConnect for VMware Virtual SAN provides file services for VMware Virtual SAN environments by adding Network File System (NFS) and Server Message Block (SMB) access on top of an existing Virtual SAN to complete the software hyper-convergence model,” asserts Tarkan Maner, Chairman and CEO, Nexenta.

NexentaConnect for VMware Virtual SAN features complete vCenter–integrated, wizard-driven automation and powerful I/O acceleration for file storage options. “Nexenta and VMware are changing the industry with our full featured Software-Defined Storage solutions that can deliver flexibility, simplicity, and lower total cost of ownership for the SDDC (Software Defined Data Center),” concludes Maner.
