Case Study: ScaleMatrix achieves 200% performance boost and millions in TCO savings with NexentaStor (Nexenta)

ScaleMatrix Delivers Highest-Performance, Cost-Effective Hybrid Cloud Solutions Leveraging Nexenta Software-Defined Storage

ScaleMatrix is a U.S.-based hosting and managed services provider delivering hybrid cloud, colocation and IaaS to customers from startups to Fortune 500s. Faced with the need to offer high-performance, easily scalable and cost-effective cloud services that compete with hyperscale providers like AWS, ScaleMatrix evaluated storage platforms to find better performance, flexibility and lower TCO without vendor lock-in.

ScaleMatrix deployed NexentaStor software‑defined storage on its Dell/Juniper/VMware platform, launching the service in six weeks and offering tiered IOPs-based performance (real-time, standard, archive) with single‑pane SAN management. The result: roughly 200% higher performance vs. comparable AWS offerings, more IOPs per dollar, rapid scalability to nearly two petabytes (and growing), millions in estimated TCO savings, high availability and the flexibility to offer differentiated, cost-effective cloud services.
