Growing demand for OpenStorage solutions fuels need for qualified training programme

Munich, Germany, 9th February 2012 — Nexenta Systems, the world leader in OpenStorage solutions, today announced the appointment of BOS-IT as its first officially certified NexentaStor training partner in Europe.

German based BOS-IT will provide Nexenta training for all European users of the Nexentastor solution, including IT administrators, managers and channel partners. The award winning OpenStorage software training schedule will kick off today with a half day training on virtualisation and ZFS with Andy Bennett, Nexenta’s Technical Sales Director EMEA, at BOS-IT’s training facility in Hamburg.

Jacco van Achterberg, Sales Manager EMEA at Nexenta Systems commented on the new partnership: “Enterprises are sick of being locked in to expensive proprietary systems. This is leading to a mind-shift as many realise the benefits of OpenStorage. This growing momentum means we need the support of a proven partner in Europe to train our growing partner and user database. BOS-IT has strong experience in the storage sector, which makes them the ideal partner to train our users on the NexentaStor solution.”

“OpenStorage is independent from hardware vendors and I am excited that we are now supporting the global leader in this area,” said Thomas Mitzka, CEO and founder of BOS-IT. ”We have years of experience with OpenSolaris and we are primed to train Nexenta’s clients and partners in the future.”
