Leading Merchandise Optimization Software Company Realizes $120K in Savings via Nexenta Open Software-Defined Storage Solutions
Revionics Achieves Rapid Scalability to Meet Growing Business Needs and Support Retail Customers Worldwide
SANTA CLARA, Calif.—December 12, 2016— Nexenta (@Nexenta),the global leader in Open Source-driven Software-Defined Storage (OpenSDS), today announced that Revionics, a proven leader in end-to-end merchandise optimization solutions,leveraged NexentaStor to achieve rapid scalability at a lower total cost of ownership (TCO)to support their growing customer base.
Revionics’ customer base includes leading retailers like Dick’s Sporting Goods, Michael’s Stores and Cabela’s, which require the support of robust systems for their price, promotion and markdown optimization capabilities delivered via SaaS, using science-based predictive analytics. Revionics was traditionally a storage attached network (SAN) vendor shop, relying on various storage solutions to support customer data.Revionics wanted a longer-term solution that could scale robustly to keep pace with the growth of both their customer base and in data volumes from existing customers. Revionics lookedforalternative storage solutions that scale on a shelf-by-shelf and head-by-head basis, remove the required minimum buy-in cost of a traditional SAN purchase, and deliver a seamless transition that maintains performance levels and reduces TCO.
Sunny Nair, VP of Information Technology (IT) at Revionics, was familiar with Nexenta,andhe also evaluated other software-defined storage (SDS) solutions from established vendors.Revionics selected Nexenta because of its maturity in the SDS space; an estimated drastically lower TCO; and increased performance with less requiredconfiguration. Revionicsinitially deployed NexentaStor to support an additional 20-30 TB of customer data by simply purchasing and adding a Nexenta shelf to their existing system. Subsequently, Revionicstransitioned to solid state disk (SSD) and purchased two more Nexenta storage units for ultra-high performance.
“The IOPs have been phenomenal,” saidNair. “We didn’t need to buy one of the high-end SSD systems because Nexenta was experimenting with SSD as well; their engineering team was instrumental in helping us build out our SSD.”
Revionics realized immediate benefits from their NexentaStor integration, achieving unmatched performance levels at scale and a calculated $120K in savings, all without any transition time or inconvenience to their IT team. Revionics’ customers are also realizing benefits of the Nexenta integration. NexentaStor allows the Revionics IT team to turn up the performance, as needed, when configuring customer systems and to remain competitive in pricing, thanks in part to the cost savings.
“If we hadn’t selected Nexenta, with the same $135K we spent, we would have only been able to buy half the storage, which would have potentially diminished our business scalability,” said Nair.
“As complex technologies such as SaaS and predictive analytics continue to advance, companies are forced to meet the demands of unprecedented data growth, which legacy storage solutions cannot support,” said Tarkan Maner, Chairman and CEO of Nexenta. “We worked with the Revionics team to configure a system that could support their customers’ robust systems with the flexibility to scale as their data and customer volumes continue to grow.”

Manager at Supermicro
When: Thursday, November 17th at 10am PT/12pm CT
Register: https://nexenta.com/company/resources/webinars/modern-storage-infrastructures-modernized-data-centers
The Micron Accelerated NexentaEdge Solution is the first all-flash solution optimized to cost-effectively provide high performance block, Swift and S3 object services to OpenStack, VMware and Container-based infrastructures. Built on Micron flash and memory, this all-flash solution delivers up to 75,000 random 8KB IOPS (input/output operations per second) per node, with a typical five node cluster delivering up to 375,000 IOPS providing simple scaling of performance and capacity in predictable increments.
With 33 patents, and industry leading TCO, NexentaEdge provides patented Cloud Copy on Write design delivering guaranteed enterprise-grade data integrity, high performance distributed caching, unlimited instant snapshots and clones, as well as automatic self-healing, active self-balancing, and ultra-scalable cluster-wide inline deduplication and compression that can lower the effective cost of storage for virtual machines (VMs) by a factor of 5:1 or more, as well as offset cost of all-flash solutions. Furthermore, the real-time self-balancing continuously distributes loads across all devices in the cluster to maximize flash endurance, and simple management through CLI, REST API and an intuitive graphical user-interface.
The Micron Accelerated NexentaEdge Solution delivers the simplicity of a fully preconfigured appliance with the flexibility of scale-out Software-Defined Storage (SDS), including use cases in the following markets:
- OpenStack Clouds
- VMware Clouds
- Object based Active Archives
- Container infrastructure
- Big Data infrastructure
Data centers traditionally based on proprietary frame-based array hardware are transitioning to digital and cloud infrastructures offering high levels of agility and performance. All-flash array (AFA) storage solutions, considered integral to digital and cloud infrastructures, are still one of the highest growth sub-segments of the enterprise storage market. According to IDC, worldwide sales of AFAs were $2.9B in 2015, and the market is expected to grow at a 21.4 percent CAGR through 2020 to reach $7.7B in revenue*.
“Revenue growth in the AFA space has continued to outperform expectations as customers are rapidly transitioning from legacy to flash-optimized storage architectures,” said Eric Burgener, research director for Storage. “Currently, 38% of organizations are already testing or using AFAs, with another 26% evaluating them. 50% of organizations let flash deployment be driven on a case-by-case basis, but an additional 27% are already committed to an “all flash for primary storage” strategy. IDC expects that by 2020, AFAs will drive more than 70% of all primary storage spend.”
“Micron flash storage is transforming how data is accessed, stored and managed – and, in the process, is solving some of the world’s most vexing compute challenges,” said Darren Thomas, VP and GM Storage Business Unit at Micron. “From virtualized computing to cloud-based storage environments, Micron Accelerated Solutions transform today’s data centers and Nexenta and Supermicro are important partners that unlock new value for our customers.”
“We are excited about our strategic relationship with Micron and Supermicro, enabling us to deliver today, our all-flash SDS high performance scale-out solution,” said Tarkan Maner, CEO and Chairman at Nexenta. “With the fast growth in Big Data and software-defined cloud deployments, we believe this innovative collaboration will take the enterprise storage market by storm for any app, via any stack, and on any infrastructure.”
