This promotion is available for a limited time starting September 1st:
· NexentaConnect for VMware Virtual SAN license
· Unlimited raw storage capacity to match VMware Virtual SAN Licenses
· Nexenta technical support for 12 months (technical support purchase required after 12 months)
Additionally during VMworld 2015, Nexenta will showcase this combined solution within VMware’s Hands-on Lab (HOL). This much-anticipated participation in VMware’s Virtual SAN A-to-Z HOL session will provide event attendees with the opportunity to discover NexentaConnect for VMware Virtual SAN. This is the only file services offering for VMware Virtual SAN in the HOL. In 45 minutes, HOL guests will experience everything from initial installation and configuration to storage policy management and data recovery via snapshots. This training will also be available after VMworld here.
“Of all the solutions we evaluated, NexentaConnect for VMware Virtual SAN was the most mature, the easiest to implement and use, and delivered the best performance. If you’ve got a VMware Virtual SAN set up already, implementing NexentaConnect for VMware Virtual SAN takes about ten minutes,” said Phil Bedard, principal network design engineer for Cox Communications. “Full integration into our infrastructure was easy, too. My team and the network designers we serve, don’t want to become storage experts. Our real job is testing. While I have experience with storage, I was looking for a product that would be easy for my network experts to manage.”
“We are thrilled to select Nexenta as our file services component of VMware Virtual SAN,” said Gaetan Castelein, sr. director product management at VMware. “Nexenta’s disruptive OpenSDS solutions, combined with VMware’s SDDC vision is empowering users with agile, scalable and sustainable architectures, and the booth demos, joint promotion and HOL will provide attendees with first-hand experience of what our partnership is all about.”
“Now, more than ever, as storage requirements grow, end-users demand their data centres are built on a simplified infrastructure, reducing costs and achieving automated scalability,” said Tarkan Maner, chairman and CEO at Nexenta. "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.”
