Aberdeen LLC, a server and storage manufacturer, recently announced a strategic partnership with Nexenta Systems, a provider of enterprise-class open storage software. Under the terms of the agreement disclosed by the company, it has integrated the NexentaStor software, a ZFS-based enterprise grade storage platform, with the complete line of AberSAN Z-Series unified storage servers. Several engineers of the company have undergone extensive NexentaStor training and have been designated Nexenta Certified Engineers.
It states that it will be showcasing the AberSAN Z20, featuring NexentaStor, at the inaugural OpenStorage Summit at the Sheraton in Palo Alto, Calif. October 26-27, 2010. The two day summit will feature leading innovators in the storage industry with in-depth sessions on best practices for evaluating and deploying innovative storage systems including deduplication, ZFS and data center and desktop virtualization. Organizations and individuals interested in attending the summit can register at http://nexenta-summit2010.eventbrite.com.
The company articulates that NexentaStor is a hardware independent storage solution built upon the ZFS file system. NexentaStor runs on industry standard x86 servers and provides NAS and SAN capabilities including support for CIFS, NFS, iSCSI and Fiber Channel storage access. By bundling NexentaStor software on the company's scalable AberSAN Z-Series unified storage servers, businesses now have access to an enterprise-level, highly-available storage appliance that provides higher functionality and better cost per terabyte value than legacy storage technologies.
It further states that its AberSAN Z-Series scalable storage platform brings the simplicity of network attached storage (NAS) to the SAN environment by utilizing the NexentaStor ZFS file system. This partnership has resulted in the recently announced SAN-VA virtualization plugin, which offers a cost-effective solution for providing highly available shared scalable storage to the VMware environment.
The company explains that it designed the AberSAN to grow as an organization's storage needs multiply, to deliver ease of use, expandability and flexibility. The AberSAN's reliability, as evident by its 5-Year warranty, combined with NexentaStor software, provides organizations with enterprise class scalable storage capabilities with a low total cost of ownership and protection against customer lock-in of legacy solutions. With the development of this partnership, the AberSAN in conjunction with the NexentaStor software delivers enterprise class features at entry level pricing, delivering the best bang for the buck.
It avers that the AberSAN Z20 is currently available worldwide, and can be configured to meet even the most stringent requirements. Larger capacity AberSAN Z-Series scalable models 32TB AberSAN Z30, 48TB AberSAN Z50 and 128TB AberSAN Z80 are available for immediate shipping.
"Aberdeen is proud to announce our new strategic partnership with Nexenta Systems," said Aberdeen's President and CEO, Moshe M. Ovadya. "Some of our customers have already experienced the performance, scalability and ease of use benefits delivered by the AberSAN Z-Series with NexentaStor and have immediately become enthusiastic advocates. I'm confident this Certified Partner Program ensures the continued development of our leading scalable storage servers and will result in further innovations in the near future."
"The goal of Nexenta's partner programs is to build an open community of solution providers that provide superior enterprise class storage based upon NexentaStor," said Evan Powell, CEO of Nexenta. "Aberdeen's AberSAN Z20 product coupled with NexentaStor, is already proving itself to be a better complete solution for a variety of file and block based use cases."
