Nexenta to Present the Latest Trends in Open Software-Defined Storage Solutions for Container-Based Cloud Native Applications for Web-Scale Hybrid Clouds at Cloud Expo 2015 Silicon Valley
Santa Clara, Calif.—Nov. 4, 2015—Nexenta (@Nexenta), the global leader in Open Source-driven Software-Defined Storage (OpenSDS), today announced that Michael Letschin, Field Chief Technology Officer, has been selected to present at Cloud Expo 2015, Silicon Valley.
Letschin’s presentation titled “Containerized Storage for the Enterprise Cloud” will take place on Nov. 4 as part of the “Containers & Microservices” track and will examine the latest in “containerized" storage, offering the pros and cons of each.
Containers allow for compute processes to be isolated from each other and portable, but not all applications and solutions are run only in the compute layer—many require the use of some storage. Deployment of software-defined storage can be the first step in this evolution, providing portability and scalability with persistent storage. This could be in the form of storage that the containers connect to locally, or in a remote or cloud location, or it could be storage residing in the containers.
Cloud Expo is the world’s leading independent Cloud technology event, welcoming delegates and technology vendors from across the globe to experience and discuss the Cloud. The three-day conference will feature elite speakers, content and technology exhibition. As Cloud Computing drives increasing percentages of enterprise IT budgets, it becomes paramount for technology vendors to reach their customers and prospects as effectively as possible. Cloud Expo draws more than 7,500 of these customers and top prospects to the Santa Clara Convention Center in the heart of Silicon Valley. Attendees will learn about the growth of Cloud Computing, the emergence of Big Data/Analytics and the IoT, and how DevOps and WebRTC are impacting and accelerating this growth.

Leading Internet Company in Japan Runs Its Cloud Infrastructure with Nexenta Open Source-driven Software-Defined Storage Platform
GMO Internet Group Selects Nexenta to Support Its International Hosting Services
Tokyo, JAPAN and Santa Clara, CA –October 26, 2015 – Nexenta (@Nexenta), global leader in Open Source-driven Software-Defined Storage (OpenSDS), today announced that GMO Internet (GMO), a leading Japanese internet services provider, has chosen NexentaStor to support its international data center and hosting expansion. The announcement coincides with OpenStack Summit Tokyo (October 27-30, 2015) which sees developers, cloud computing specialists, IT decision makers and others in the region come together to be informed about the latest developments and practical implementations of OpenStack Cloud Software.
Alongside its portfolio of popular ecommerce, security and payment solutions, GMO is responsible for developing and operating Japan’s most widely used domain and cloud solutions. As such, GMO must continually innovate to maintain its lead in the country’s competitive hosting market – and maintaining the premium quality of its Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) ‘ConoHa’ is integral to this. However, to meet growing demand from customers for foreign data center services – with high performance and extra functionality like redundancy and load balancing built-in – GMO realised that its traditional appliance storage simply could not deliver on this, nor do so at a competitive price.
To deliver an advanced distributed storage system at a reasonable cost, GMO selected NexentaStor – for its all-flash, multi-site and backup HDD storage capabilities – and coupled it with Dell PowerEdge R720xd. The fact that NexentaStor is also highly integrated with the OpenStack Cinder driver – and so maximizes hardware performance for storage services with SSDs – was another key contributory factor in GMO’s decision making process.
“We were confident that NexentaStor could meet our requirements. Indeed, Dell and Nexenta already support reference architectures that deliver on enterprise requirements like ours,” said Naoto Gohko, chief executive architect at GMO. “Equally, there’s good alignment between OpenStack advancement and how we want to improve our cloud services. We plan to build on this success by working with Nexenta to increase OpenStack integration and expand our business, offering our customers advanced features and great services, including expanding our data centers into other countries.”
GMO has also leveraged the OpenStack API to build ConoHa’s easy-to-use control panel. Mailing and database services in ConoHa are also based on the company’s customized OpenStack implementation, and the company plans to expand its services offering by leveraging its OpenStack engineering skills. Another positive outcome is that one service based on ConoHa now enables video streaming on smartphones – initially, GMO thought it would need a CDN deployment for the video streaming service, but once it deployed NexentaStor it discovered NexentaStor performance was enough on its own.
“NexentaStor gives GMO a flexible and scalable architecture that can be easily expanded to meet the needs of its customers today and tomorrow,” explained Tarkan Maner, Chairman and CEO at Nexenta. “OpenStack integration is essential for any business looking to expand its cloud and datacenter offering – making the integration of advanced features and services easier than ever before. We’re delighted to be working with GMO.”

Nexenta Continues Asia Pacific Market Expansion via Partnership with the Leading Systems Integrator
Nexenta and Asiasoft Solutions Partner to Provide Scalable Open Source-driven Software-Defined Storage Solutions for Fast-growing Cloud Deployments
SANTA CLARA, Calif.— October 26, 2015 — Nexenta (@Nexenta), the global leader in Open Source-driven Software-Defined Storage (OpenSDS), today announced that leading System Integrator and Cloud Specialist, Asiasoft (@scalenow), will be deploying Nexenta products across the Asia/Pacific region. Asiasoft is a top integrator for enterprise virtual technologies and environments, including VMware and Citrix. Deployments will begin with NexentaStor and expand to include the entire Nexenta product line.
Asiasoft Solutions provides cloud infrastructure, virtualization and end user computing solutions to enterprise and mid-size companies with an average of 200-500 end users that are experiencing tremendous data growth. As a result, they need scalable solutions that allow them to get the biggest return possible for each dollar spent on storage. Traditional storage vendors’ solutions, once adequate in the past, are no longer viable for these dynamic, multi-platform environments. They are also expensive and have rigid architectures.
“Nexenta’s unique approach to Software-Defined Storage fits our existing client engagement strategy for our clients in the government, healthcare, media, and research industries” said Moses Yeo, Sales Director at Asiasoft. “All of our customers across the board are demanding products that help them with cloud-based data growth. It’s forcing them to think differently about how storage should be acquired, deployed and used. NexentaStor will allow us to deliver end-to-end virtualization solutions for our clients, offering cost-effective solutions for customers with large capacity requirements of 100 TB and above. The combination of performance, flexibility and scalability at an excellent price gives us a strong advantage over our competitors. Nexenta is the perfect answer for both our customers and for Asiasoft.”
Nexenta’s support for a variety of storage protocols and file types, including NFS, CIFS, SAN and NAS allows Asiasoft to more easily deploy NexentaStor across a number of multi-platform environments to improve client value and ROI.
“Working with a top-tier system integrator with tremendous expertise in multi-platform cloud-based environments is giving us inroads throughout the region,” said Anthony Davis, Asia Pacific vice president and general manager at Nexenta. “Asiasoft’s ability to respond quickly to changing customer needs by deploying the latest technology advancements has been a key factor in their success over 10 years in the storage business. We are undertaking several joint deployments and we’re looking forward to many more.”
