Mirantis CMO, Boris Renski, said: "Mirantis OpenStack gives developers and operators the reliability, choice and freedom they want for their private clouds. Working with Nexenta extends these values to their storage requirements."
Tarkan Maner, CEO of Nexenta, said: "We are delighted to extend the value of our customer’s investment in their Software-Defined data centers with our partnership with OpenStack leader, Mirantis.
"Nexenta’s unified Software-Defined Storage portfolio supporting file, block and object services is an enterprise-ready option for customers and partners deploying OpenStack."
Mirantis and Nexenta will extend their technical and commercial collaboration to other parts of their portfolio including Mirantis OpenStack’s on-demand, hosted option, OpenStack Express, and to NexentaEdge, Nexenta’s object storage platform.
Nexenta also announced that it will be joining forces with Solinea, a firm which specialises in cloud strategy and adoption services.
The move will help customers better integrate with Nexenta’s software-defined storage solutions.
