History
In 2005, founders Alex Aizman and Dmitry Yusupov saw an opportunity to pioneer components of Linux with the ZFS, OpenSolaris and OpenStorage codebases and founded Nexenta. These products were among the first Open Source storage products to be brought to market in mid-2008, and now represents one of the strongest and most vibrant Open Source communities in the storage industry.
