NexGen Storage pitches quality of service for VMware shops
Startup NexGen Storage emerged from stealth and is promoting its NexGen n5 Storage System for
use in virtual environments. The SAN storage system leverages PCIe and solid state disk for
performance, and includes quality of service, dynamic data placement and phased data reduction
technologies for shared storage control and efficiency.
The result is a SAN that can deliver guaranteed service levels for virtualized workloads such as virtual desktops and databases, the company claims. The NexGen n5 Storage System is available immediately to partners, in systems that range from 32 to 480 TB of effective capacity, with a 5-1 data reduction ratio.
Quest certifies vRanger for HP StoreOnce Backup Systems
Quest Software’s vRanger -- backup, recovery and replication software for VMware environments –
is now certified for the HP StoreOnce Backup System. The product supports VMware Changed Block
Tracking, incremental and differential backups, and its own active block mapping technology that
quickly scans block maps to identify changed blocks.
These space-saving techniques reduce the size of the backups sent to the StoreOnce Backup System, which then further reduces the size of the backup with inline deduplication, the company said.
