Nexenta Software-Defined Storage Underpins Cloud Infrastructure at Acclaimed European Software Company
Software Defined Storage (SDS) Improves Storage Capacity and Reliability of Infrastructure for CRM Specialist, Statigest
Santa Clara, CA and Paris, France, 18 September, 2014 – Nexenta (@Nexenta), the global leader in Software-Defined Storage (SDS) (#softwaredefinedstorage) today announced it has been chosen by the 30 year veteran of French CRM software development, Statigest, to support its entire IT infrastructure. The SDS solution has boosted capacity and performance, significantly increasing Statigest's productivity and service levels.
Founded in 1977, Statigest provides CRM and related applications for sales forces across France, Belgium, Spain and Portugal. With more than 5,000 daily users, the IT infrastructure plays a mission critical role. With so much at stake, the existing mixed environment of Unix and Windows was becoming difficult to manage, particularly because it was using a number of different file services (CIFS and NFS) protocols. Statigest needed a solution that was easier to manage, but that could increase capacity and deliver a performance boost for its users.
After evaluating a number of systems, Statigest chose Nexenta’s SDS solution, NexentaStor, because it supports many different protocols, including CIFS, NFS, iSCSI, Fiber Channel and SATA. This flexibility made it possible for Statigest to introduce hybrid storage pooling and improve the capabilities of the environment.
Christophe Grun, Infrastructure Manager at Statigest explained: “We evaluated the products of a number of suppliers but Nexenta was the best on performance and total cost of ownership (TCO). The clustering capability in NexentaStor was also a major benefit because it delivers enhanced stability with recovery from failover and it takes less than one minute.”
“By using NFS with NexentaStor, numerous database requests can now be launched simultaneously on the server. This has reduced production time by more than two hours and enables us to handle more customers at the same time. Production at Statigest splits storage between 80% write and 20% read. By using SSDs for ZIL and LOG cache, we have experienced a huge boost to NFS write which, in turn, has significantly increased overall performance.”
Philippe Bruiant, Regional Sales Manager, Nexenta said: “Nexenta’s Software-Defined Storage solutions help customers implement cost-effective, high-performance storage by taking advantage of features such as hybrid storage pooling, unlimited snapshots, massive scalability and high availability. Our open source technology roots also mean that users like Statigest are not locked in to buying more expensive products from a particular vendor or paying unnecessary mark-ups for standard features.”

Nexenta Executive Joins Industry Executives to Discuss Software-Defined Storage and Open Source Business Models at OpenStack Silicon Valley 2014
SANTA CLARA, Calif. — September 16, 2014 — Nexenta (@Nexenta), the global leader in Software-Defined Storage (#softwaredefinedstorage) (SDS), today announced that Chief Product Officer, Thomas Cornely will speak on September 16th at OpenStack Silicon Valley 2014 in Mountain View, CA. Thomas will join several industry executives on an Open Source Business Models panel to discuss the growing presence of open source software, its ability to support a variety of Cloud infrastructures, and how to achieve profitability in this rapidly evolving space.
Details are as follows:
Topic: Open Source Business Models: Open Core, Service + Support, or: a Third Option
Venue: Computer History Museum, 1401 N Shoreline Blvd, Mountain View, CA 94043
Date/Time: Tuesday, September 16, 2014 at 11:50 am Pacific Time
Hosted by: OpenStack SV
Moderator: Mark Collier, COO, OpenStack Foundation
Panelists:
- Jonathan Donaldson | GM, Software Defined Infrastructure, Intel
- Alex Freedland | Chairman and co-Founder, Mirantis
- Thomas Cornely | Chief Product Officer, Nexenta Systems
- Brian Gentile | VP and GM, Tibco Jaspersoft
Abstract: When it’s free/libre/gratis, who gets to keep the money? Open source software is now the norm, not a niche. Its broad adoption as a defacto standard has exposed enormous unexploited inefficiencies. The breadth of OpenStack adoption will create new forms of monetization, even if you don’t know what they are. Giving up on finding “the next Red Hat” or the “next Cloudera” might mean you’re looking in the rear view mirror.
“A growing number of organizations view OpenStack as the leading platform for private, public and hybrid cloud environments,” said Thomas Cornely, Chief Product Officer of Nexenta, “Nexenta continues to develop Software Defined Storage solutions that integrate with this open source alternative, and end users choose Nexenta and OpenStack to avoid vendor lock-in, deliver flexible, modular and lower cost benefits for their infrastructures.”
