OpenStack Storage Today
Enterprises and leading Telco’s building 5G clouds are moving to OpenStack to some of the world's largest and most scalable public clouds. These organizations are looking to OpenStack to be their cloud operating system that works within a datacenter, managing storage and more through their dashboard.
Nexenta’ software-defined storage (SDS) portfolio has been participated in OpenStack Storage projects since the early days, including Cinder (block storage), Manila (file storage) and Swift (object storage). Delivering the first commercially available open source-based block storage driver for Cinder, NexentaStor, full-featured SDS for enterprise applications, has remained on the cutting edge of OpenStack storage solutions.
