Nexenta Storage Appliance 0.99.2 (Default branch) |
|
|
Nexenta Storage Appliance is designed and built to
operate as a 2nd tier storage alongside
pre-existing commercial storage, providing online
continuation of data for months and years, with
tapes relegated to archival purposes only. The
appliance is targeted for 2nd-tier NAS and iSCSI
applications requiring extremely low cost storage
as well as dramatically simplified provisioning,
expansion, backup, replication, and archiving. It
can also be used as a primary NAS in businesses
that wish to expand at closer to commodity
pricing. It supports unlimited snapshots, snapshot
mirroring (replication), and easy management of
extremely large storage pools.

Changes:
This version features RsyncShare, which is a
radically simple way to backup and restore
Windows. The RsyncShare project is licensed under
the CDDL. iSCSI target integration was
implemented, so it is possible to "convert" the
Nexenta NAS into a Target in a matter of seconds,
thus combining the flexibility and power of both
file and block level access to the same storage.
Separate log device (NVRAM) support was added to
optimize I/O performance. Bugfixes and
improvements were made.
