By: Nexenta The product will be generally available for download in early June 2012. For more information, see: http://nexenta.com/ NexentaVSA for View simplifies management of virtual desktops and VDI environments – turning a process that normally takes 150 pain-staking steps into a quick four-step process. Using the ZFS file system with commodity hardware, enterprises can save up to 80 percent on the management and storage costs associated with VDI. In the last three months, a number of organisations have participated in the beta program of NexentaVSA for View, including Clark College. Initial results include up to 10x improvement in the time taken to deploy new virtual Windows desktops. “When implemented properly, desktop virtualisation can yield savings in management costs and staff efficiencies associated with deploying a large number of machines to end-users,” said Patrick Taylor, network systems manager, Clark College. “We tested NexentaVSA for View and found that the implementation was relatively simple. Clark College appreciated the detailed analytics and benchmarking Nexenta provided, which enabled us to easily monitor and make adjustments to our VDI environment after deployment.” Boasting more than 4,500 commercial deployments, Nexenta’s OpenStorage software is an ideal approach for breaking down the barriers that have prevented wide-scale enterprise adoption of VDI. The key benefits of NexentaVSA for View include: • Fast VDI Provisioning, Configuration and Tuning: NexentaVSA for View includes a user interface that guides administrators through VDI deployment, benchmarking, calibration and reconfiguration. • Automated and Intelligent Configuration: • Performance Visibility: Built-in benchmarks measure end-to-end performance, from the client endpoint through storage devices. • Calibration and Analytics: NexentaVSA for View automatically modifies configurations based on specified criteria, reducing administrative input. • Low-Cost, Performance- “Virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) minimises the headaches associated with desktop upgrades, security patches and software provisioning,” In a Nexenta survey of 208 IT managers (conducted on a VMware online vForum and through Storage Newsletter), nearly half (44.4 percent) of all respondents indicated they were currently using or piloting VDI. This survey also covered VDI’s barriers to adoption. 75 respondents (36.1 percent), for example, said VDI was too complex to deploy; 40 individuals (19.2 percent) said VDI costs were prohibitive and 25 people (12 percent) said VDI was too difficult to manage and scale. “We’re proud to be a key VMware partner simplifying the implementation and reducing the cost of adopting virtualised desktop environments,” The solution officially launched at Nexenta’s OpenStorage Summit EMEA, in Amsterdam. Running from 22-24 May at the Mercure Hotel, Amsterdam, the event is aimed at IT directors, storage administrators, storage architects and storage and virtualisation resellers looking for low-cost, high performance solutions to solve the complex storage issues in the virtualisation, VDI and cloud environments.
