VA Technologies and Nexenta are partnering to deliver Enterprise Class storage solutions with optional clustering capabilities. The NexentaStor based solutions offered by VA Technologies, including their OpenStor storage array and their CobaltStor-Z NAS cluster, are delivering enterprise class performance at a fraction of the cost of proprietary solutions.

The OpenStor storage appliances provide storage for the VA Technologies CobaltStor-Z clustered NAS which is also based upon NexenaStor. The CobaltStor-Z delivers Enterprise Class features such as automatic failover of head nodes, virtually unlimited file system size, single namespace, integrated search features, block level real time mirroring and infinite snapshots for backup and for disaster recovery. The revolutionary ZFS file system at the heart of NexentaStor eliminates the growing risk of silent data corruption through an integrated approach that includes RAIDZ and RAIDZ2 as well as end to end checksum algorithms for every transaction that together identify and correct data corruption before it has a chance to proliferate through the storage system.

Recent benchmark test results using Bonnie++ and Iozone demonstrate CobaltStor-Z performance at: - 1.2 GB/sec per second writes - 2 GB/sec per second reads. These results are in a standard configuration with the CobaltStor-Z connecting to 5 OpenStor storage arrays via 10GbE. More information about the engineering behind these impressive results are available. Please contact us for more details.
