This software solution provides both iSCSI and NAS capabilities for data storage and management.
If you're in the market for an iSCSI and NAS solution, consider NexentaStor. This software-based alternative to legacy hardware-based NAS solutions has numerous features that set it apart, including unlimited incremental backups or 'snapshots', snapshot mirroring (replication), block level mirroring, integrated search, and easy management of extremely large storage pools.
Built on an OpenSolaris distribution, NexentaStor adds capabilities that are typically required by organizations, which leads to improved reliability, manageability, and performance. Specifically, it's designed for use in 2nd-tier NAS and iSCSI applications requiring open, low-cost, high-performance storage. It simplifies provisioning, expansion, backup, replication, and archiving, making it ideal for primary NAS use in businesses that want to expand at closer to commodity pricing.
Recent releases have made NexentaStor even better. It now includes improved security and integration into enterprise environments through LDAP and Active Directory support, as well as native CIFS and NFS support. If you want more information about recent releases, including the just-released 1.0.3, check out the 'release notes' here.
One of the best things about NexentaStor is its cost. You can save 80% or more over proprietary legacy solutions by leveraging industry standard x86/64 servers and storage hardware. You won't find a better price/performance or price/capacity ratio anywhere. Plus, your savings grow over time.
NexentaStor also gives you the freedom to simplify storage deployment by running it on x86/64 hardware, server blades, or common virtualization platforms. And with its open source base, open standards, and community participation, you get more control, faster feature integration, better quality assurance, the ability to build your own custom solutions, and an end to legacy vendor lock-in.
Overall, NexentaStor is an excellent iSCSI and NAS solution that you should definitely consider if you're looking for something that's both powerful and affordable.
