Advanced Storage Software for Cloud & Virtualization Data Center Services

Due to their customers’ evolving needs, CL8 keeps on adding new and innovative functionalities into what their solutions offer. That is why it became essential to find a software solution that would match the data center virtualization and advanced cloud features their company offered. This included compatibility with both of the VMware and Veeam software solutions that they used.

Thanks to the company’s previous experience with Open-E JovianDSS and its proven reliability, scalability, and price-performance ratio, the choice of the software solution was obvious. Since the Pre-Deployment process included the transition of both active production servers from one software solution to the other, there was a need to keep the data on them available to customers without any downtime. With the assistance of Open-E engineers, the data was smoothly migrated to Open-E JovianDSS servers without any complications. Additionally, both the data storage solutions using the VMware Virtual Data Center and the Veeam Cloud Connect virtualization software were expanded to a second node, forming High Availability Clusters.

Since the systems started operating on Open-E JovianDSS, no more errors were recorded. The software solution has proven to work flawlessly with both CL8’s VMware Virtual Data Center and Veeam Cloud Connect Offsite Backup Services. The systems gained additional performance thanks to being properly configured and ZFS’ inherent file system characteristics. CL8 was very impressed by how well Open-E JovianDSS worked, especially on the servers using VMware VDC. So much so, that after some time had passed, they requested the VMware VDC configuration’s extension.
