ADN Distribution Reseller of Nexenta

Nexenta Systems, Inc. announced that ADN Distribution GmbH, a Central Europe VAD, will be offering value added solutions and products throughout its partner network, based on Nexenta’s SDS solutions.

ADN distributes IT solutions that focus on the virtualisation and cloud, storage and server, networking, security and unified communications market. The company is regarded as a market leader in the sector and is, among other, Microsoft commercial distributor and largest SPLA-Reseller in Germany, Central Europe’s Citrix distributor and Dell’s German distributor for infrastructures.

Additionally ADN also provides its partners with a number of value added services including training, consulting, support and logistics. Working with more than 4,800 resellers, including the top system integrators in Germany, ADN expands Nexenta’s existing channel market.

Herrmann Ramacher, CEO, ADN, said: “As a VAD, ADN constantly analyses the IT market for forward-looking technologies and vendors. In collaboration with Dell, our attention was drawn to Nexenta and its SDS solution based on ZFS. One of Nexenta’s SDS offerings, NexentaStor, is Dell certified, and the combination creates a technologically mature storage solution that is yet to be matched anywhere else in the market when it comes to flexibility and scalability.“

Udo Schillings, vendor manager, ADN, added: “Nexenta’s innovative technology is an important addition to our solution-oriented portfolio. Using our extensive Citrix experience in combination with NexentaStor on Dell hardware means we can now offer our partners a cost effective, reliable enterprise storage solution to really revolutionise the performance and management of their customers’ VDI environments. Since Nexenta sells 100% through the channel too, it was a perfect match.“

Sofware-defined storage solves many of the storage challenges faced by enterprises in the cloud and virtualisation world, and particularly in the VDI space. Nexenta was verified as part of the Citrix Ready VDI Capacity Program Verified for Citrix XenDesktop. As Citrix’s number one distributor in the region, ADN will be able to offer solutions that address the storage needs of customers who already have or are thinking about implementing VDI using XenDesktop.

Johan Van Den Boogsales manager, Nexenta, concluded: “ADN has so much experience in this market and their relationship with Citrix and Dell makes it a perfect fit for Nexenta. Over the last three years, Germany has become an important market for Nexenta as public and private sector organisations realise the benefits of using SDS to underpin their date centres. The partnership with ADN helps us to continue to expand our market presence. With growing demand and a strong base of partners, ADN and Nexenta are natural partners to offer flexible, highly scalable and affordable storage solutions with excellent features and leading performance for enterprise customers.“
