Nexenta Partners with Silicon Valley Leadership Group to Sponsor Silicon Valley Regional U.S. Patent and Trademark Office Opening
Nexenta Extends its Industry Leadership in Open Source and Software-Defined Data Center Technologies via New Patents and Public-Private Partnerships; Champions Bringing U.S. Patent Office to San Jose
What: Silicon Valley Regional US Patent & Trademark Office - Opening Celebration
When: Thursday, October 15, 5:30 p.m. - 10:00 p.m.
Where: Club Auto Sport, 521 Charcot Avenue, San Jose, Calif.
SANTA CLARA, Calif. — October 13, 2015 — Nexenta® (@Nexenta), the global leader in Open Source-driven Software-Defined Storage (OpenSDS™), today announced that it is a title sponsor of the Silicon Valley Regional U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTOSV) Opening Celebration, which is being hosted by the Silicon Valley Leadership Group. Nexenta’s Chief Administrative Officer (CAO) and General Counsel, Mavis Yee, will speak at the opening, to be held in San Jose on Oct. 15th.
“Silicon Valley is universally acknowledged as setting the standard of tech innovation, and is regularly looked to as a model to emulate by others around the globe,” Yee said. “While the U.S. patent office has a long and venerable history of protecting America’s inventors and their inventions, the pace of innovation is constantly speeding up, and this continually puts pressure on the patent approval process to respond accordingly. A local patent and trademark office helps streamline this process to the benefit of the entire Bay Area community of inventors and innovators.”
In addition to Yee and fellow speakers Chuck Reed, former mayor of San Jose; a representative from Schwegman, Lundberg & Woessner; the current Mayor of San Jose Sam Liccardo; and USPTO Directors John Cabeca and Michelle Lee, the event will feature an Innovation Forum with exhibits from local innovators, including Nexenta and its OpenSDS product portfolio. Also on display will be advances in bio-tech spectroscopy, computing technology and crowd sourcing, plus the patents behind these innovations. Attendees will also witness a demonstration of new hover technology that powers an up-and-coming hover board. A fireside chat--moderated by Carl Guardino, president and CEO of the Leadership Group--will feature panelists USPTO’s Lee; U.S. Rep Zoe Lofgren; Ian Wright, CEO of Wrightspeed and Co-Founder of Tesla Motors; and the Founder and CEO of Blaze Mobile, Michelle Fisher.
Nexenta is one of two title sponsors of the USPTOSV celebratory opening, which marks the fruition of seven years of advocacy by the City of San Jose in partnership with the Leadership Group, Nexenta and others in the business and intellectual property communities.
“After nearly eight years of effort, the Leadership Group and its nearly 400-member companies is thrilled to bring together Silicon Valley inventors and leaders to welcome this new office which will be a significant help to the region’s innovation economy,” said Guardino. “The opening of the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office in Silicon Valley is a landmark event and couldn’t take place without support from local technology leaders like Nexenta.”
“This important milestone spearheaded by the Leadership Group represents a big win for Silicon Valley because it enables protections that are sure to foster the creativity and innovation of technologists well into the future,” said Nexenta’s Chairman and CEO Tarkan Maner, who is a Leadership Group board member. “We invite our colleagues in the tech community to join in this momentous celebration.”

The CRN 2015 Cloud Computing Partner Program Guide provides a valuable resource for solution providers to navigate the booming cloud marketplace by identifying technology suppliers that offer innovative cloud solutions and partner programs. To qualify for participation in the Cloud Partner Program Guide, technology vendors must have a unique set of partner program benefits for solution providers that deliver cloud infrastructure or applications.
“Each cloud provider and vendor in the Cloud Partner Program Guide was selected by CRN editors for putting forth substantive cloud partner programs that demonstrate a real buy-in and support of the channel community,” says Robert Faletra, CEO of The Channel Company. “With the pace of change and fierce competition in the growing cloud market, it’s imperative that a solution provider finds vendor partners capable of giving them consistent, tangible support to grow their cloud-related revenue. The CRN 2015 Cloud Partner Program Guide helps them find those partners that are right for their business.”

The Nexenta Partner Program is designed to allow partners who are looking to deliver private, hybrid, or public clouds by offering the required resources, tools, and rewards to develop a storage infrastructure to support their solutions and customers’ needs.
“We are honored to be included in CRN’s 2015 Cloud Partner Program and recognized for innovative software-defined storage technology offerings,” said Don Lopes, Director of Channel & Inside Sales at Nexenta. “Our partners are an important component of the company’s success and we are proud to share that success by delivering reliable solutions to differentiate them from their competition.”

Nexenta Introduces Higher Education Program with Leading Universities to Prepare STEM Students for Next Generation High-Tech Workforce
- Program Focuses on Advanced Open Source-Driven Software Defined Data Center (SDDC), Big Data and Cloud Computing Curricula
- Charter Member University of Colorado Denver’s Department of Computer Science and Engineering
SANTA CLARA, Calif.— Oct. 5, 2015 — Nexenta (@Nexenta), the global leader in Open Source-driven Software-Defined Storage (OpenSDS), today announced a new Higher Education Program that encourages partnerships with universities to develop technical curricula to better prepare undergrad STEM students for the workforce. By building on the solid foundation of software engineering and computer science curricula, and adding advanced courses with both academic value and substantial "real world" applicability, Nexenta and partner universities will provide graduates with exceptional tools as they enter the workplace. The program’s charter member is the Department of Computer Science and Engineering in the College of Engineering and Applied Science at the University of Colorado (CU) Denver, which is expected to be closely followed by San Jose State University.
“Universities like CU Denver are known for preparing undergrads for the workplace, but they can’t do this alone,” said Eric Ray, Director of Platform Development at Nexenta, who is spearheading the Higher Ed program. “Bridging the knowledge gap between what they learn in college and real world practices is essential to their success. These schools are doing an excellent job of laying the groundwork. It’s up to industry to do our part to link theory with practice, provide the tools and infrastructure to round out the curriculum, and set the stage for tomorrow’s software innovators.”
According to the U.S. Department of Labor, the job outlook (2012-2022) for software developers is expected to grow 22 percent, well above the 11 percent growth for all categories. One of the factors driving this demand for software talent is the wider deployment of software-defined solutions as the virtualization and automation of the entire operating environment—server, storage and network—is more readily adopted by enterprises.
“We’re excited to give students an edge before they reach the workforce by teaching them how to approach technology based on the needs of today’s enterprises,” said Gita Alaghband, Ph.D., professor and chair of Computer Science and Engineering at CU Denver. “Companies are deploying cloud-based virtual technology that’s very different from what was common even a year ago. Nexenta’s knowledge of open source and software-defined technology should help our students to gain a higher level of expertise, so as new storage engineers, they can hit the ground running when they start their first jobs.”
Initially, CU Denver will offer an advanced storage technology-focused course for exceptional undergraduate students and graduate students, entitled "Computer Storage Systems,” that will be taught by Doug McCallum, former storage engineer with Oracle and Sun Microsystems, in the spring semester, which begins Jan. 19, 2016. Courses to be offered by San Jose State University are currently under development.
Nexenta is recruiting universities and higher education institutions to participate in the program. Interested faculty or administrative staff should contact Jill Orhun, Nexenta’s VP of Marketing and Strategy, 408-791-3369, jill.orhun@nexenta.com.
