11. HOW DO CUSTOMERS USE NEXENTASTOR?
User Scenarios
• Primary & Tiered Storage
• Application Servers
• Data Protection
• Streaming Media
• Virtualization and Cloud
Back-Up
In-line deduplication, replication and potential as a multi-protocol target make us an
ideal backup target
Virtualization
Hybrid storage pooling (native SSD), hot data optimization, management, deduplication,
snap shots, replication, compression make us an ideal solution for virtualization
Cloud
Strong virtualization, low cost enterprise HA cluster, replication make NexentaStor a good
platform for cloud infrastructure

12. PLUG-INS
Software Plug-ins
 High Availability Cluster - Single and dual active-active fail-over configuration
options to increase availability
 VM Data Center - View and manage your entire virtualized VMware, Citrix
Xen or Microsoft Hyper-V infrastructure from a simple point and click
interface. Setup backups, provision storage, setup replication & retention
policies, and perform common tasks, such as stopping & starting VMs or
creating template-based clones.
 Delorean - Windows Back-up, Restore & Search Application - ZFS-powered
backup for Windows with VSS clients. Select files and folders to protect via
built-in File Explorer interface.

13. NAMESPACE CLUSTER
• Scales out NexentaStor NFS clusters
• Distribute load across systems through intelligent analytics and background migration
• Adds penultimate level to industry leading multi-level data protection
• Scale limits have to do with simultaneous access to single file or directory
• No limit on amount of storage, number of clients, number of clusters
• Manage the entire name space from any node, on demand
