Government agencies, services and departments face the same technology challenges as enterprises but typically on smaller, fixed budgets. As their cloud, virtualization, database, and other on-demand data needs grow, IT managers are challenged to find easy and reliable solutions that offer enterprise features, fast performance, and meet government standards and procurement regulations.

"The rapid pace of hardware innovation, along with the standardization of hardware, has caused our government customers to reconsider the storage options available to them. In many cases, exponential growth in storage has led to exponential costs. Meeting the conflicting needs of big data and low cost, while completing projects on-time and on-budget, is spurring the move to open storage solutions," said Erik Logan, president of Pogo Storage, open-source systems integrator.

All-flash systems deliver high performance, and legacy storage solutions provide the storage capacity needed, but both solutions are cost-prohibitive for these workloads. PogoRack provides a third option, bringing together Nexenta ZFS technologies on a standard hardware platform.

"NexentaStor leverages the power of ZFS to offer customers massively scalable storage environments with a virtually unlimited number of snapshots, free versioning, and high granularity of data protection," explains Nexenta CMO Bridget Warwick. "Customers deserve to have a choice when it comes to selecting the hardware solutions that best fit their needs. Because our software can run on a wide choice of hardware offered by our many partners including Pogo, deployments of NexentaStor are growing rapidly."
