Since I reviewed Nexenta the other day I decided to also review NexentaStor. NexentaStor is the Commercial distro based off of Nexenta and alot more. NexentaStor is a software based NAS and iSCSI solution. Here are some of the nice features of NexentaStor

• Unlimited incremental backups or 'snapshots'
• Snapshot mirroring (replication)
• Block level mirroring ('CDP')
• Integrated search
• Inherent virtualization
• Thin provisioning
• Ease of use of the ZFS file system
• and much more....
  

From installing NexentaStor and briefly using it, it has a nice front end and it is very easy to use... ( I myself prefer command line administration when it commands to NAS/SAN Administration ) But this tool will definately make Windows Admins very happy.  The wizard was also a pleasent surprise, it took you through all the steps of setting up iscsi/ nfs/cifs/zfs volumes/network settings and user settings. I'm definately going to give NexentaStor a whirl as my home SAN solution. Enjoy the screenshots below...
