Nexenta Announces Unique Software-Defined Storage Implementation for Leading Healthcare Cloud Provider
HIPAA Compliance and Cloud Hosting Solution Provider, VM Racks Relies on Nexenta for Unmatched TCO and Scalability for Secure Data Management
Santa Clara, CA. – September 24, 2014 – Nexenta (@Nexenta), the global leader in Software-Defined Storage (SDS) (#softwaredefinedstorage), today announced the deployment and case study for VM Racks. VM Racks delivers enterprise-class virtualization, government and HIPAA compliant web hosting solutions worldwide.
“VM Racks is a great example of a growing company that was potentially held back by the price and complexity of legacy storage solutions,” said Craig Cagle, VP and GM of Americas at Nexenta. “We are very pleased to be able to work with VM Racks and help them deliver their innovative HIPAA compliant hosting solution.”
Established in 1997, San Carlos, CA-based VM Racks handles the management, security and storage of medical information from healthcare companies and is known for delivering outstanding customer service and value-based web hosting plans. VM Racks’ enterprise-class virtualization solutions and managed hosting services support government, healthcare, and business organizations worldwide. As a certified HIPAA hosting provider, VM Racks maintains the highest level of audits and certifications including SSAE 16 SOC 1 Type 2, SOC 2 Type 2, and SOC 3 Type 2. As the need for HIPAA compliance continues to grow, VM Racks' business continues to demonstrate strong growth.
Lowering their total cost of ownership was the single largest benefit to VM Racks.
"Had we gone with one of the market leaders, we would have been paying 10 times the cost for our storage solution and that cost would have been passed on to our customers," according to Gil Vidals, CEO at VM Racks. "Nexenta allowed us to implement an enterprise-quality solution, but let an entry-level company like us get our foot in the door. I've found that bigger storage vendors don't let growing companies like ours get a toehold the way that Nexenta did. Nexenta didn't say 'come back when you are big enough for us.' Because of the cost savings we've realized, we've been able to keep our HIPAA pricing the lowest in the industry and that's something that makes us very proud."
VM Racks now has more than 200 terabytes under management and is still growing. As the company grows, Nexenta's solution continues to scale.
"Nexenta took an interest in the success of our business and helped us to grow to where we are today," added Vidals. "Their sales, service, and engineering teams have all been a pleasure to work with.”
Please refer to the VM Racks case study for more implementation details.

Nexenta Runs the Cloud Infrastructure for Leading Public Safety Company
TriTech Software Systems Turns to Nexenta Software-Defined Storage Solutions in Serving 240 Million Citizens WW
Santa Clara, CA. – September 24, 2014 – Nexenta (@Nexenta), the global leader in Software-Defined Storage (SDS) (#softwaredefinedstorage), today announced the deployment and case study for TriTech Software Systems. TriTech provides innovative cloud-based solutions for public safety.
“TriTech is a great example of how software-defined storage can have a profound impact on business operations for cloud hosting providers,” said Thomas Cornely, Chief Product Officer at Nexenta. “Not only did Nexenta solve a scalability and efficiency problem for TriTech, but their customers also enjoy the cost savings and improved performance.”
TriTech Software Systems is headquartered in San Diego, CA. For over twenty years TriTech has led the market with innovative, enterprise-wide cloud-based and on-premise solutions for 9-1-1, computer aided dispatch, records management, jail management, analytics and intelligence, field-based reporting, patient care reporting, and ambulance billing software. More than 2,700 agencies, across seven countries – serving nearly a quarter of a billion citizens – rely on TriTech to make the drama of a 9-1-1 call a little less dramatic.
Given the complexity of the rules and regulations in the public safety industry, the data storage requirements are also significant. Images such as individual fingerprints and crime scene photos require constant uptime and the highest levels of security. In addition to images, TriTech also has to manage and integrate audio files such as 9-1-1 recorded calls, and data files such as background checks.
TriTech was eager to expand the existing NAS file system and replace several Drobos used for NFS and for VM Archiving, which didn't support a virtualized environment and were turning into an ongoing maintenance problem. A meeting with storage experts Aberdeen, a leading manufacturer and Nexenta reseller, at VMworld led to an introduction to and recommendation of NexentaStor.
According to TriTech System Administrator Scott Key: "The benefits of going with Nexenta came down to three important factors: TCO, simplicity, and manageability."
Prior to installing Nexenta, storage cost TriTech approximately five thousand dollars per terabyte; this was for a system that was showing real signs of strain at twenty terabytes. TriTech now pays approximately fifteen hundred dollars per terabyte and still has plenty of room to grow, reducing storage costs by 70%.
"The combined savings between lower storage costs, reduced maintenance and management needs added up to an amazing ROI," added Key. "The cost of our entire storage infrastructure was earned back in about six months."
Please refer to the TriTech case study for more implementation details.
