Virtualization


Streamline administration from a simple point-and-click interface
to manage your virtualized infrastructure and reduce complexity.

With NexentaStor ™'s VM Data Center (VMDC) software add-on, storage and system administrators can view and manage their entire virtualized infrastructure over NFS or iSCSI network shares. Streamline administration – including provision storage, set-up storage policies or create clone virtual machines (VMs).

At a Glance:

Reduce Complexity from managing multi-vendor virtual environments
Eliminate Inefficiencies creating clones (CPU & network bandwidth spikes)
Higher Utilization of storage from deduplication and thin-provisioning
Centralized Management of storage and VM administration

Virtual Machine Data Center (VMDC)

With support for all major server virtualization platforms, VMDC delivers a powerful management tool to accelerate storage provisioning and establish storage policies at the VM-level. Host, protect and clone virtual machines from VMware vSphere, Citrix Xen and Microsoft Hyper-V virtualized infrastructures.

Fast Cloning – Save time cloning VMs while dramatically reducing read/write operations and storage consumption with clones as 'pointers' and built-in deduplication
VM Migration – Support for storage migration and migration of VMs
Flexible Platform – Seamless integration with major hypervisor virtualization platforms. VMDCs discovery tool auto-detects all VMware® vSphere, Citrix Xen and Microsoft Hyper-V VMs on your network and adds them to the management console
Automate Policies – Set-up replication, back-ups and retention storage policies at the VM-level
Centralized Administration – Perform a variety of functions, from creating, deleting, exporting/importing storage volumes, or common tasks, like starting or stopping VMs
Complete Utilization – Utilize the versatile ZFS file-system to take advantage of inline deduplication of primary storage, thin provisioning, native SSD support – ideal for random I/O of virtualized environments
Unified Storage – Multi-network protocol support for NFS, iSCSI, Fiber Channel environment with file-level and block-level access to VStorage storage volume


VMDC Integration Capabilities


Configure any StorageDirector Z Series SAN/NAS with the VMDC to bring out the full power of Nexenta Systems with NexentaStor ™ with VMware® vSphere, Citrix Xen and Microsoft Hyper-V environments.
