Silicon Mechanics Premium Reseller of Nexenta

Silicon Mechanics, Inc., manufacturer of rackmount servers, storage, and HPC hardware, is now a premium reseller of Nexenta Systems, Inc.

Nexenta granted Silicon Mechanics premium status based on its ‘Expert included’ pledge, which takes customer service and consultation to a new level, and one highly valued by Nexenta.

As a premium reseller of NexentaStor, Silicon Mechanics can help customers save 70% to 80% compared to expensive, vertically integrated, proprietary storage technologies. NexentaStor is a fully featured NAS/SAN software platform with capabilities that meet and exceed those of legacy storage systems. It scales further and more cost effectively, and does not force customers to replace entire systems as drive and IO technologies evolve over time.

Running on industry-standard hardware, NexentaStor helps organizations implement performance, yet cost-effective data storage solutions with features such as inline deduplication, unlimited snapshots and cloning, unlimited file size, and high-availability architecture. In addition, NexentaStor includes full integration with virtualized environments, even with mixed vendor infrastructure. This solution can create shared pools of storage from any combination of storage hardware, including SSDs, and delivers data integrity, integrated search, and inline virus scanning. NexentaStor also enables one-click storage provisioning.

Nexenta looks for a high level of consultation in premium partners. Silicon Mechanics fits the bill, consulting closely with customers throughout the entire process of developing a solution, and offering 24/7 product support.

"I am extremely proud that Silicon Mechanics has crossed Nexenta’s high threshold to earn this premium partnership designation," said Michael Fein, sales director for Silicon Mechanics. "Our ‘Expert included’ focus means we will be there to design and deliver the best solutions to meet our customers’ growing needs. With NexentaStor, we can provide customers with a better long-term investment as storage needs increase."

"We’re very pleased that Silicon Mechanics has ascended the ladder to become one of our premium resellers," said Evan Powell, CEO of Nexenta. "We are impressed with their capabilities, and we know that their passion for customer service and their expertise in the high-performance computing and storage markets will make them an extremely valued partner."
