London, United Kingdom and SANTA CLARA, Calif., — February 26, 2014 — Nexenta is well-placed to take advantage of the growing market for software defined storage (SDS), as noted in a new report from IDC.

NexentaStor has been widely adopted across most market sectors around the world where scalability, storage management and costs are of significant concern to the end user. Demonstrating the global uptake of SDS, sixty percent of Nexenta’s revenues now come from outside the USA.
