Pogo Linux - Home

Introducing the Pogo Linux Storage Director Z, powered by NexentaStor. Finally, a NAS appliance that incorporates true Enterprise features without incurring the price of proprietary hardware and software. By leveraging the power of Solaris and the ZFS filesystem the Storage Director Z provides many features previously only available with expensive proprietary solutions -- and some features entirely unique to ZFS!

Multi-Level Data Protection

NexentaStor is based on the ZFS fileststem so multi-level data protection features are built right in:

  • No Silent Data Corruption - With end-to-end checksumming and transactional copy-on-write silent data corruption is virtually impossible.
  • Snapshots - Unlike some systems that limit an administrator to only a few snapshots, the ZFS filesystem allows for unlimited snapshots. This gives great flexibility when designing a backup strategy.
  • Block-Level Mirroring - Setup real time mirroring for remote backups and disaster recovery.

Inherent I/O Virtualization

In addition to data protection, ZFS inherently virtualizes data, right at the file system:

  • Thin Provisioning - No need to reformat that file system, let your hosts virtually see a larger storage pool than is physically available and fill it in later when you really need it.
  • I/O Pooling - The more separate storage you add the faster NexentaStor can serve it.

Easy and Intuititve Interface with Integrated Search

The NexantaStor software is designed to be as intuititve as possible for maximum ease of use. Centralized management allows an administrator to:

  • Install and provision NexentaStor in under 15 minutes
  • Create, grow, destroy, export and import storage volumes
  • Share (via NFS/CIFS/RSYNC/FTP) volumes and folders
  • Take snapshots, custom and automated, periodic and on-demand
  • Implement user-defined snapshot retention policies
  • Automatically and periodically generate storage and service reports
  • Manage the performance of the system and integrate the system into SNMP based management solutions
  • Discover, configure, and create iSCSI sessions, deploy iSCSI-attached LUNs, and much more.
  • Search - Indexing and boolean search for snapshots allows admins to look for individual content in file, all performed at the filesystem level.

Reliable High Performance Storage

The heart of the Storage Director Z is fast reliable Pogo Linux storage. We have taken almost a decade of hardware experience and created the optimal platform to integrate with NexantaStor:

  • High end components ensure maximum performance with no I/O bottlenecks.
  • Robust disk sub-system uses only the fastest and most reliable SATA and SAS hard drives and controllers.
  • Optional out-of-band remote management means you have control from the next room or from around the world.
  • Award winning technical support, always willing to go the extra mile.
