Nexenta Software-Defined Storage and HGST All-Flash Solutions Increase Performance and Reliability for Global Social Media Analytics Company
Santa Clara, CA— 22 October 2014—Nexenta (@Nexenta), the global leader in Software-Defined Storage (SDS) (#softwaredefinedstorage), today announced it has collaborated with HGST (@HGSTStorage), a Western Digital Company (NASDAQ: WDC), to create an all-flash storage solution for Tracx,(@Tracx) a global provider of next generation social media platforms for the enterprise.
Established in 2010, Tracx provides an end-to-end solution that enables customers to manage their entire social media presence intelligently. With 100% year-on-year growth, Tracx’s next generation social media management solutions (SMMS) are quickly gaining momentum with operations in the US, Europe, Australia, Brazil, Argentina, South Africa, and Israel.
Like many organizations where data is essential to operations, Tracx needed an extremely high performance storage solution that delivers 100% reliability for the mission critical database that runs the real-time analytical section of its social media platform.
“More and more enterprises are leveraging real-time analytics to better tailor their offerings to the evolving needs of their customers,” said Eric Burgener, research director at IDC. “Due to the stringent performance needs of these types of application environments, solid state disks are often part of the mix. Software-defined storage solutions like Nexenta’s can manage this flash storage to optimize not only their performance but their reliability and endurance as well, delivering very cost-efficient solutions that meet enterprise requirements.”
Erez Zarum, Dev Ops team leader at Tracx, said: “We originally implemented Nexenta with another line of SSDs but experienced some performance issues that we knew could cause greater issues down the road as we continued to grow. We took Nexenta’s advice and replaced the incumbent SSDs with drives from HGST and have been amazed with the difference in performance and reliability.”
Since implementing the all-flash solution, Tracx has reported improvements in performance, capacity utilization and reliability, with no failures to date. IT admins at Tracx can now easily manage the highly available (HA) storage environment and the high level of IOPS created without suffering performance degradation.
“With the new all-flash solution from Nexenta and HGST, we have created a solution that will continue to scale with us. We now have 24/7 business continuity and ultimately have a solution that we can completely rely on. The environment can be scaled to cope with our annual growth while the total cost of ownership (TCO) remains low,” Zarum added.
Nigel Edwards, vice president of EMEA Sales and Channel Marketing, HGST said, “For a company like Tracx that is working with real-time analytical, mission critical data, HGST enterprise SAS SSD are the perfect solution. As similar organizations have experienced, not all SSDs are created equal. Enterprise SSDs are a way organisations can help ensure that they don’t experience failures and degradation.”
Mark Jordan, Vice President & General Manager, Nexenta, “Business continuity is imperative to operations for enterprises like Tracx, so it’s important they have a storage infrastructure that they can rely on. The all-flash SDS solution is the perfect solution for Tracx as it eliminates vendor lock in, is easily scaled and offers a low TCO. We pride ourselves on helping organisations to step away from the Massively Expensive Storage Systems (MESS) and to create a solution that is the best fit for them.”

The UK Public Sector Needs to Realize the Benefits of Nexenta Software-Defined Storage Solutions
Most central and local government organizations are overspending on legacy storage solutions - money which could have funded 447 Band 5 NHS Nurses or 443 Firemen or 511 Prison Officers or 410 Police Officers
Santa Clara, CA and London, UK. – October 21, 2014 – More than 98% of central and local government organizations across the UK are still purchasing traditional legacy storage – even though it costs on average 3x more per Terabyte (TB) than the Software-Defined alternative. This is despite the government’s publicized efforts over the last few years to cut costs across the board.
The information sourced through a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA)*[1] request from Nexenta (@Nexenta), the global leader in Software-Defined Storage (#softwaredefinedstorage) (SDS), examined the storage buying habits of 397 local and central government organizations. The 317 departments that responded to the request spent £933,527,446 on IT systems in 2013, of which £13,876,068 was spent on storage. The results showed:
- 140 government departments bought extra storage in 2013, spending £13,876,068 in total on 11,439 TBs equaling an average of £1213 per TB
- Only five public sector departments bought open source or Software-Defined Storage (SDS) in 2013. The figures show they spent £242,918 in total on 645.6 TBs equaling an average of £376 per TB
If all the public sector departments had purchased Nexenta SDS solutions with their lower cost per TB they could have saved approximately £9,575,004 equivalent to the yearly entry level salary of 447 Band 5 NHS Nurses or 443 Firemen or 511 Prison Officers or 410 Police Officers.
Tarkan Maner, Chairman and CEO of Nexenta, said: “The results from the FOIA analysis show that more needs to be done to educate the public sector on the benefits of Software-Defined Storage. UK councils are struggling to reduce costs across the board and this is an area where significant savings opportunity exists. SDS is packed with enterprise features but with a very low Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) – making it an ideal solution for the public sector. The market needs to understand the savings that can be achieved, and think how this money could be invested into other areas such as the NHS, emergency services and the prison service.”
"The UK public sector could really benefit from adopting a Software-Defined Storage (SDS) approach. At the moment they are under extreme budgetary pressures but they still need to do more with less, particularly as their data repositories grow rapidly,” said Simon Robinson, Research VP, Storage, 451Research. “SDS is coming of age and now offers enterprise features which will satisfy even the most conservative storage administrator. Education is key but it's time the public sector realized the huge savings that could be made from taking a software approach."
Dave Lewy, Head of Storage and Systems at the University of Sussex, said: “We chose a Software-Defined Storage solution because of its flexibility, scalability and attractive economics. I would recommend it to any public sector organization looking to improve its storage platform whilst keeping a hold on the budget.”
This is the second time Nexenta has enquired about the procurement and spending habits of UK local authorities after conducting a similar FOIA request in 2012. Those findings showed that only one council in the UK was using open source storage compared with five today.
