OS NEXUS, the provider of storage appliance software for cloud computing and virtualised environments, unveiled its QuantaStor appliance software, bringing affordable public or private storage clouds to small business and managed service providers.
QuantaStor differs from legacy storage operating systems by enabling users to create virtual dedicated SANs- or NAS-based storage clouds by securely sharing the underlying hardware. This revolutionary, new storage cloud operating system is built from inception incorporating virtualisation concepts
and functions similar to a hypervisor sharing physical resources with virtual machines.
With QuantaStor, budget-conscious organisations can ride commodity cost curves by purchasing lower-cost servers and deploying these as high-performance storage systems at a fraction of the cost of traditional SANs. A key differentiator in the design of QuantaStor is the way storage is managed by reducing overall complexity and allowing administrators to delegate general management tasks to their users via storage clouds.
Within a QuantaStor appliance, users can only see those resources within their designated cloud and are enabled to accomplish self-service administration according to policies or permissions set by the service provider. As such, users and virtualisation administrators are given access to advanced storage features typically only offered by enterprise SAN/NAS such as QuantaStor snapshots, cloud backup, and instant provisioning to make the execution of their projects safer and faster while increasing operating margins.
“The industry is slowly addressing the management complexity problem, especially in some newer solutions but we made ease of use a core tenant in the design of QuantaStor so that it’s easily managed by storage administrators and non-storage experts alike. By building a twenty-first century solution that incorporates multi-tenancy, enterprise-level data management features and extensible open user interfaces we’re also bringing new tools to the table to boost productivity and efficiency. This is how QuantaStor differs from this latest wave of next-generation competing solutions,” says Steve Umbehocker, founder and CEO of OS NEXUS. ***
