Case Study: ScaleMatrix achieves 200% higher performance and multimillion-dollar TCO savings with NexentaStor (Nexenta)

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

ScaleMatrix, a San Diego–based hosting and IT services provider, offers colocation, managed services and hybrid cloud (public, private and IaaS) from high-density, energy‑efficient data centers. Facing the challenge of providing cost‑effective, high‑performance cloud services that can compete with hyperscale providers like AWS while staying flexible and easy to manage, ScaleMatrix evaluated storage platforms to maximize IOPs, scalability and total cost of ownership.

By deploying NexentaStor software‑defined storage (on Dell/Juniper/VMware platforms), ScaleMatrix launched a tiered, IOPs‑based storage service within six weeks, simplified SAN migrations and centralized global management. The outcome: a 200% performance increase versus AWS, more IOPs per dollar than other solutions, rapid scalability to nearly two petabytes with plans to grow further, and millions of dollars saved in CapEx plus lower OpEx through streamlined administration.
