Nexenta,
the global leader in Open Source-driven Software-Defined Storage
(OpenSDS), will be hosting a complimentary webinar, “Delivering
the Software-Defined Data Centers via Open Software-Defined Storage,”
in partnership with global enterprise storage leader, Dell; premier
global analyst firm, IDC; and the pioneering public cloud service
provider and Nexenta customer, ScaleMatrix. Together this dynamic panel
of industry leaders will share diverse perspectives on the
Software-Defined Data Center of the future and the pivotal role of
OpenSDS.
Featuring Eric Burgener, Research Director for IDC’s Storage Practice;
Chris Orlando, co-founder of ScaleMatrix; Alan Atkinson, VP, GM for
Storage at Dell; and Tarkan Maner, Chairman and CEO of Nexenta, the
webinar on March 10, 2015 will offer insights into how mobile, social
media, enterprise big data and cloud computing are driving demand for
greater flexibility, scalability and cost-effectiveness in the data
center.
During the webinar, the presenters will outline the challenges that face
today’s modern infrastructures and how to solve them in their respective
arena. Attendees will learn the difference between real industry trends
and the Software-Defined Data Center (SDDC) hype. They will also
discover how Open, Software-Defined Storage (OpenSDS) can ensure lower
TCO and help organizations achieve the power, capacity and space
efficiencies they need to operate the data center of the future. Through
a series of use cases on OpenSDS, attendees will hear how organizations
– whose data is one of their most important assets -- are already
achieving a high level of efficiency, flexibility and scalability with
OpenSDS solutions.
“Flash, cloud and software-defined storage technologies are key
components in agile, software-defined computing environments,” said Eric
Burgener, Research Director for IDC’s Storage Practice. “Enterprises are
clearly moving in this direction, and this session with Nexenta, Dell,
ScaleMatrix, and IDC will help IT practitioners better understand the
key concerns in building more performant, available, cost-effective and
manageable Software-Defined Data Centers.”
“We’re pleased to announce this highly informative session – offering a
360 degree view of the latest strategies for keeping up with new volumes
of critical data and performance that are driving the need for more
agile, dynamic storage resource provisioning in the enterprise,” said
Tarkan Maner, Chairman and CEO of Nexenta. “This webinar will offer key
insights into how to simplify and optimize network and storage
management for organizations looking to move to a Software-Defined Data
Center.”
“We are thrilled to share what we’ve learned with companies that are
looking to take the next step towards an Open, Software-Defined Data
Center,” said Chris Orlando, co-founder of ScaleMatrix. “At ScaleMatrix,
moving to OpenSDS and the Software-Defined Data Center gives us the high
performance and flexible back-end that is integrally tied to our ability
to deliver a number of services and out-perform 90 percent of other data
center providers in our market.”
“We are pleased to be part of this webinar, offering innovative
strategies for dealing with the diverse group of applications, data and
systems that are fast becoming standard in today’s data center,” said
Alan Atkinson, vice president and general manager, Dell Storage.
“Software-Defined Data Center interest has gained significant momentum,
and software-defined storage will play a key role in managing data and
the network efficiently. We look forward to working with customers to
help them develop a more open, flexible architecture across the data
center.”
