Nexenta has announced a strategic partnership with Lenovo to drive broader adoption of next-generation software storage solutions. The companies are working together to introduce solutions that integrate Nexenta’s Software-Defined Storage with Lenovo x86 servers, and joint go-to-market strategies. The combined solutions will offer Lenovo customers worldwide both scale-up and scale-out reference architectures on all flash, hybrid, and spinning media systems.

“We are super excited about our partnership with Lenovo as they enter the fast-growing and market-disruptive Software-Defined Storage market with a strong server market share and global presence,” said Tarkan Maner, CEO and chairman at Nexenta. “We believe Lenovo and Nexenta’s partnership around joint go-to-market and service and support will transform the enterprise storage market with an innovative, collaborative, and enterprise-ready Software-Defined Storage vision and execution. They share our passion for providing their customers with a wide range of app and infrastructure-agnostic low-cost, Software-Defined solutions, service, and support delivering total freedom to customers.”

The Lenovo and Nexenta solutions will be based on Lenovo’s award winning System X and NexentaStor, for storage from 100s of terabytes to petabyte scale. These solutions will address storage requirements for a wide range of enterprise workloads including virtualisation, OpenStack clouds, general file sharing, and backup and archiving. "Rapid data growth coupled with modest budget increases are forcing vendors and customers to rethink their storage strategies by leveraging software-based storage as an alternative to traditional storage to meet their business demands,” said Henry Baltazar, Research Director, Storage at 451 Research. “Lenovo is an established server provider with extensive international reach and by now leveraging a partnership with Software-Defined Storage pioneer Nexenta, the company is in a position to offer customers comprehensive storage solutions unavailable via legacy storage companies.”
