NexentaStor 4.0 发布，优化为作为虚拟的服务器环境

NexentaStor是一份私有操作系统，它由开源发行Nexenta的开发者创建，并被优化为作为虚拟的服务器环境及围绕ZFS文件系统创建的Fibre Channel应用程序来使用。它的特色包括iSCSI支持，不受限制的增长式备份，快照式镜像，块级镜像，集成于ZFS快照的搜索，以及一份用户应用编程接口。该操作系统以ISO及VMware磁盘镜像的形式发布，其定价则基于每兆字节及每服务器的许可来决定。此外还有一份可免费获取的开发者版本供磁盘使用空间少于4T字节的用户使用。

Michael Letschin has announced the release of NexentaStor 4.0, a major new update of the specialist distribution optimised for virtualisation and network-attached storage - based on the Illumos kernel and ZFS file system: "This latest version of NexentaStor delivers significant performance, reliability and functionality improvements to the award-winning SDS solution, having passed through rigorous engineering, customer and partner testing with flying colors. NexentaStor will continue to be available in two editions: Community edition (free, full-featured, community supported software for configurations up to 18TB), and Enterprise edition (licensed by the size of the storage pool). NexentaStor 4.0 is Citrix and VMware ready and certified to run on a variety of reference hardware configurations from strategic technology and channel partners."
