Nexenta Partners with SupermicroApr 18, 2011 (Close-Up Media via COMTEX) -- Nexenta Systems, a provider of OpenStorage solutions, announced a closer partnership with Supermicro, to offer resellers a process to bring NexentaStor-powered devices to their customers. "By adding the combination of Supermicro's Super SBB and NexentaStor software into our catalog, we're essentially removing any technical limitations for our resellers, so they can provide what their customers are demanding - performance and reliability at a reasonable price," said Wally Liaw, Supermicro's vice president of international sales, in a release. Additionally, the company launched Platinum Support which includes several levels of direct support. As a continuation of the companies' partnership, Supermicro, a provider of server technology and green computing, will carry the combination of Supermicro's 3U Super Storage Bridge Bay solution and NexentaStor as a SKU in their price list. Supermicro became a premier-level partner in Nexenta's Technology Partner Program in August 2010. On April 4, Nexenta launched Platinum Support, a support service targeted at enterprise customers. "Nexenta's unique software-only storage approach drives higher margins for our resellers by allowing them to add NexentaStor and its implementation, integration, configuration and other value-added services to industry standard storage hardware," said Jason Yoho, vice president, business development, Nexenta. "By adding the Platinum Support service, and working closely with Supermicro upstream to pre-certify, integrate and even install NexentaStor, we are confident we will further increase the profitability of our resellers by allowing them to focus on their real value add." Supermicro is a provider of server solutions for Enterprise IT, HPC and Cloud Computing. ((Comments on this story may be sent to [email protected])) |
