Nexenta to collaborate around CloudStack solutions

Nexenta has announced a collaboration with Opscode® Enterprise Chef™ to help CloudStack customers provision and automate their storage, creating the Software-Defined Data Centre of the future. The solution will be demonstrated at the CloudStack Collaboration Conference in Beurs van Berlage, Amsterdam, 20-22 November.

The combination of Opscode Enterprise Chef and Nexenta, which is already installed at leading Netherlands-based IT outsourcer Schuberg Philis (@schubergphilis), helps users configure their entire hybrid cloud application including the compute, network and storage infrastructure all the way through to application delivery. By augmenting CloudStack with Enterprise Chef and Nexenta, customers can guarantee 100 percent functional uptime on their mission critical application infrastructure, bolstered with the right amount of storage.


The integrated Chef code with NexentaStor allows the entire storage systems for primary or secondary CloudStack storage to be tuned and delivered in a consistent reliable way. This removes the human error from the equation, increasing reliability. Automation of numerous NexentaStor arrays brings Software-Defined Storage to the next step in the Software-Defined Data Centre.


"Chef code can be deployed to tune NexentaStor as needed for each unique group within an organisation," states Ken Cheney, Vice President of Business Development for Opscode. "This combination presents a unified storage pool to both the CloudStack deployment and any other systems simultaneously via NFS, automating storage resources at the software layer to minimise management."
