Are you an enterprise looking for complete control over your data? Consider the combination of Nexsan Unity enterprise storage with Vates Virtualization Management Stack (VMS) as an alternative to traditional virtualization and storage solutions. This joint platform is designed for deploying virtualized workloads on-premise or in self-owned data centers.
Why choose onsite hosting? With the changing political landscape in the US, organizations worldwide are reconsidering their reliance on US cloud providers. Data sovereignty, where data is subject to the laws of the country where it is stored or processed, is becoming increasingly important. Keeping data within your organization’s infrastructure provides greater control and simplifies compliance.
The Vates and Nexsan solution utilizes Vates VMS, a Linux virtualization platform based on the open-source Xen architecture. Vates VMS offers live migration, high availability, snapshots, and centralized management. Nexsan Unity provides storage for file, block, and S3 object workloads, optimized for heavy workloads and configurable to various RAID levels.
Hosting onsite offers bespoke, secure environments that simplify compliance and reduce cyber attack risks. Enterprises gain precise control over data and storage, which may be obscured by third-party cloud providers. On-premise deployment can be more cost-effective than cloud subscriptions and virtual machine licensing, especially for organizations facing challenges with Broadcom/VMware licensing.
The Nexsan+Vates platform is open-source, allowing for scalability and expansion. It supports standard iSCSI, NFS, and Fibre Channel protocols, with browser-based management consoles for Virtualization and storage. Data optimizations include tiering, thin provisioning, and compression on the fly.
Native asynchronous replication and immutable snapshots enable local disaster recovery, making it ideal for demanding workloads. While onsite infrastructure involves CAPEX costs, organizations with specific data requirements and internal expertise may find the Vates and Nexsan solution valuable.
