Nexustorage Updates Nexfs to Drive Advances in Universal Block/Object/File SDS Solution

New Zealand storage start-up company Nexustorage Ltd. continues to drive advances in universal (block, object, and file) SDS and announces a release of Nexfs for 2022.

The April 2022 release builds on the success and positive feedback obtained during the 2021 Nexfs preview programs.

Nexfs enhancements incorporated with April 2022 release include:

• Integrated iSCSI server with direct access to the storage pool has been built into the core of Nexfs.

• Nexfs optionally controls and configures the NFS Server.

• Nexfs metadata replication, reducing risk while increasing uptime, it can replicate internal structure metadata synchronously or asynchronously.

• Enhanced statistic collection. A more decisive administration view of the active storage system.

• Simplified installation: Nexfs was one of the most straightforward storage systems to implement; now, it installs itself and configures system dependencies with a single command.

• Step-by-step guides: Simple walkthrough guides for the most common administration tasks.

“Having learnt from the fantastic feedback acquired through the preview program, we focused on what adds actual value to the Nexfs community,” says Glen Olsen, founder. “While continued data protection through SmartProtect remained a top valued feature, storage protocol management was highly desired. We went a step further, placing an iSCSI server into the core of Nexfs. With direct access to the Nexfs storage pool, iSCSI performance has significantly boosted.“

The Nexfs community can expect features released in the coming months, focusing on data protection, data risk reduction, and further simplified management.

Nexfs offers an initial free-to-use 5TB managed data license and is available to download from the company’s website.
