Case Study: China News Service achieves scalable, lower‑TCO cloud storage with Nexenta
A Nexenta Case Study
NexentaStor Provides Remote Two-way Data Synchronization Services for China News Service Project
China Broadband Communications Co. (CBCcom), a Beijing-based ICT and cloud services provider with a nationwide private IP network, needed to continuously expand storage and support growing numbers of virtual machines and large file workloads for enterprise and multimedia customers. Facing demands for dynamic capacity growth and multi-tenant access control, CBCcom chose a software-defined storage approach to avoid vendor lock-in and provide scalable, responsive storage for its cloud platform.
CBCcom deployed a NexentaStor High-Availability cluster on Dell hardware, using a phased rollout (200TB initially, planned to 800TB) with hybrid vdevs and SSD read/write caches, active-active controllers, and ACL-based tenant management. The unified block-and-file pool simplified operations and capacity planning, HA removed single-point failures, and the flexible controller/HBA strategy eased future expansion—delivering higher scalability, easier management, better performance for services like Topvstore, and lower TCO.
