Santa Clara, CA, May 11, 2015 – Nexenta (@Nexenta), the global leader in Open Source-driven Software-Defined Storage (OpenSDS), today announced it has been named to The Channel Company’s 2015 CRN® Virtualization 50. The annual list recognizes channel-friendly companies that provide the most innovative virtualization technology available.
Selected by CRN editors, the 2015 CRN Virtualization 50 highlights vendors that are addressing a growing market need for state-of-the-art virtualization solutions. Building virtualized environments is the first step in taking customers to the cloud. Selecting the right virtualization tools puts solution providers on the path toward successfully building virtualized environments that solve customers’ problems. The list aims to help solution providers identify and evaluate virtualization technology vendors and programs that will help them to grow their business.
Nexenta offers software solutions to optimize enterprise applications including VDI built on a virtual infrastructure, at any scale, on legacy shared storage or converged infrastructure. As enterprises expand virtualized environments, they want to be able to quickly and inexpensively move to more cost-effective, better performing storage environments.

Nexenta and Storage Switzerland Present Leading Trends and Key Success Factors for Software-Defined Data Center Transformation via Open Software-Defined Storage (OpenSDS)
Online Seminar to Focus on Four Key Components and Best Practices that Deliver a Comprehensive OpenSDS Solution
Santa Clara, Calif.—April 29, 2015—Nexenta (@Nexenta), the global leader in Open Source-driven Software-Defined Storage (OpenSDS), today announced that it will be hosting a complimentary webinar, “Cleaning Up the SDS Mess – Four Keys to Success,” in partnership with Storage Switzerland.
At its most basic, Software-Defined Storage (SDS) is defined as the abstraction of storage services from the physical storage hardware, allowing a single software storage services stack to run on a variety of platforms and manage a variety of storage hardware.
This webinar will highlight the original intent of the pioneers of SDS solutions – to create software only solutions that could be deployed on servers of a customer’s choosing. Executives from Nexenta and Storage Switzerland will outline the four key elements that must be present for a solution to be deemed one that offers true SDS.
During the webinar, attendees will also learn what pitfalls exist in pinpointing a true SDS solution – now that the original intent has evolved and hardware vendors are also providing what they claim to be SDS solutions. Attendees will hear about some of the latest trends such as how SDS is being combined with an embedded compute function to create hyper-converged solutions. Finally, attendees will walk away with a clear understanding of different SDS approaches so they can decide what makes the most sense for their organization.
Additional details on the event can be found below.
