NexentaStor is a fully featured NAS/SAN software platform with capabilities that meet and exceed the capabilities of legacy storage systems. NexentaStor’s rapid development is due to the feedback and input of more than 10,000 NexentaStor users and the ongoing progress of the underlying Illumos and NexentaStor.org communities, each of which are estimated to have hundreds of thousands of members.

Nexenta plug-ins are included in every copy of NexentaStor and can be accessed by purchasing a license key. If you agree to these terms, please proceed to download the fully functional NexentaStor Free Trial Edition.
