SANTA CLARA, Calif. AND UTRECHT, The Netherlands – November 03, 2015 - Nexenta (@Nexenta), the global leader in Open Source-driven Software-Defined Storage (OpenSDS), today announced that it will showcase its unified product portfolio for file, block and object storage at Storage Expo 2015, November 04 – November 05, at the Jaarbeurs in Utrecht. ‘Computing Everywhere’ is the central theme of this year’s event and Nexenta will demonstrate how its agile OpenSDS solutions deliver the ideal foundation for data-intensive deployments across the enterprise.

On booth B057, Nexenta’s award-winning OpenSDS solutions will be on display – these include:

  • NexentaStor, designed specifically for unified file and block storage; ranging from spinning disk to hybrid to all flash solutions

Title:                 Storage on Your Terms: Deep Dive into Software-Defined Storage Technologies and Use Cases
When:              Wednesday 04 & Thursday 05 November 2015, 11:00 – 11:30 CET
Where:             Room 05: Cloud Computing  

Details:             Software-Defined Storage (SDS) means different things to different people; with solutions ranging
from do it yourself to full-fledged scale up and scale out architectures, the landscape can seem
blurry and confusing. This session aims to eliminate the confusion on what all these terms mean by
mapping each style of SDS with a corresponding environment. These solutions include the use of
virtual server based solutions, containers, bare metal installs and even hyper-converged. Regardless
of vertical or company size, from branch offices through the largest enterprise, the right
Software-Defined Storage strategy can put you back in control and help you gain unmatched levels
of flexibility, scalability, performance, and cost efficiency.
