NexentaEdge is the first and only software-only scale out storage solution that delivers inline deduplication and compression. Nexenta will be demonstrating this new software May 19, at the OpenStack Summit in Vancouver.
NexentaEdge is software-defined storage that runs on low cost industry standard Linux servers. As stated above, it is the first software-only scale out storage solution that delivers inline deduplication and compression. The solution offers high-performance, simplified management of petabyte-scale repositories, and is optimized for OpenStack clouds, object based active archives, and Big Data applications. NexentaEdge builds on Nexenta IP and patent pending Cloud Copy on Write technology to break new grounds in terms of performance, reliability, ease of operation, and cost efficiencies.
Key features include:
- The only scale-out storage delivering low latency iSCSI Block and high performance Swift and S3 Object Services
- Deployed as a storage service on 10GbE connected clusters of Intel-based Linux servers running Ubuntu, CentOS or RedHat Enterprise Linux
- Innovative ground-up design delivering best in class performance for small random I/O generated by virtual machine boot images in OpenStack Clouds
- Enterprise grade data integrity and unlimited space optimized snapshot and clone capabilities with Cloud Copy On Write
- The only fully distributed, in-line deduplication and compression of all data ingested in the cluster, at any scale
- Ability to scale storage capacity and performance (I/O per second or throughput) independently of each other, supporting all HDD, hybrid and all SSD configurations
- Low touch operational model with automated capacity and performance balancing that unlike any other solution, keeps large, complex clusters constantly optimized.
Availability and pricing
NexentaEdge is generally available today and perpetual license lists from $0.15/GB to less than $0.10/GB at capacity plus maintenance and support.
