Nexenta Supports Intel Xeon E5

Nexenta Systems, Inc
has been working with Intel on supporting its new Intel Xeon E5 Server Platform, and its ecosystems of partners
can deliver value on this product beginning immediately.

"Nexenta has been an
excellent partner to work with," said David Brown, general manager of
Intel’s Enterprise Products and Systems Division. "We’re pleased that its community of partners and resellers will deliver
world-class products almost immediately. This will improve storage performance
across the board for end users."

The Xeon E5 Server Platform creates an environment that is
scalable, eliminating the historic I/O bottlenecks of interconnects, and
creating wire-speed connections between the CPU and storage media. Intel has
worked with Nexenta to make sure that NexentaStor is among the
first-to-market to have a certified storage software solution on the new
platform.

"The release of the Intel Xeon E5
Server Platform will drastically change the performance profile for any company
that uses it," said Nexenta CEO Evan Powell. "NexentaStor, along with its core ZFS technology,
is a perfect market solution that can take full advantage of this advancement,
providing performance scaling that meets the demands of customers. It is
available now from our network of resellers, months before legacy storage
vendors."
