Enterprise storage is now the most profitable piece of the IT industry since leading vendors sell you commodity hardware at gigantic mark-ups simply because they can. These vendors write your data to disk in a proprietary format and then use that very real lock-in to charge you outrageous amounts for commodity hardware with an icing of aged software. Here’s a little secret of the enterprise storage industry: all the hardware is the same.

At Nexenta, we believe there must, absolutely must, be a better way. Storage must be reformed and must deliver radically better value to customers, or else it will continue to impair efforts to use IT for business benefits. Our answer is more than better technology — although we’ve got that too. OpenStorage, a fundamentally more open, fairer, more innovative, flexible way to keep your company’s information safe and accessible as a source for ongoing business success.
