NexentaConnect View Edition (formally NV4V) completes an integrated architecture utilising Cisco Unified Computing System (UCS) for a converged storage and compute platform. NexentaConnect simplifies and accelerates the deployment, management, and performance of storage in a virtual desktop infrastructure at a much lower price point. Enhancements in version 2.3 of NexentaConnect View include:
· Enhanced Compression: the addition of LZ4 compression drives the greatest storage density possible with little to no processor overhead.
· Global VSA: the ability to deploy multiple desktop pools across a single Virtual Storage Appliance per virtualisation host, minimising resources while providing greater desktop density without sacrificing performance.
· Enhanced Replication: improved and faster replication of desktop pools when using remote high availability functionality to protect desktop machines and pools.
· Additional View Parameters: updated deployment wizard matching the Horizon View deployment wizard, providing a seamless transition for existing View users.
· Rethering: automatically migrate virtual desktops to the hosts storing their data, resulting in increased performance.
Yale New Haven Hospital implemented the VMware Horizon View, Cisco UCS and NexentaConnect View Edition helping the primary teaching hospital for Yale School of Medicine (YSM) to deploy an innovative private cloud.


"High performance, scalability and cost-effectiveness were our top priorities when looking at a virtualised storage solution," said Dave Franco, System Manager, Yale New Haven Hospital. "Cisco UCS, VMware Horizon View and NexentaConnect provided us with an integrated solution that met the needs of our users."


"With NexentaStor for unified shared storage services and this new release of NexentaConnect for VDI storage optimisation, Nexenta continues to provide the best solution for customers looking to deploy storage in a virtualised setting," said Thomas Cornely, VP, Product Management at Nexenta. "Yale New Haven is setting a great example of how NexentaStor, NexentaConnect, Cisco UCS and VMware Horizon View can help organisations scale and support more virtual desktops."


"Organisations turn to us to provide complete data and storage systems that improve the data technology infrastructure," said Rolf Versluis, CTO at Adcap Network Systems, a Cisco Gold Certified Partner. "Today's announcement provides us with the opportunity to deliver end-to-end storage solutions across Citrix or VMware, which is something that our customers seek."
