OpenSDS Leader Nexenta is a market creator and leader in Open Source-Driven Software-Defined Storage (OpenSDS) with a software-only, hardware-agnostic approach. This positions the company well to upsell cloud-native and multi-cloud storage solutions to enterprises seeking vendor flexibility and cost efficiency.

Hybrid Multi-Cloud The AnyCloud vision targets hybrid and multi-cloud enterprise environments, indicating strong cross-sell opportunities to customers migrating workloads across on-prem, private cloud, and public cloud, including containerized and cloud-native apps.

Scale-Ready Storage With 2,000+ petabytes under management and a 6,000+ customer base, there is a clear demand for scalable, high-performance storage solutions. This suggests opportunities to cross-sell advanced performance features, data protection, and analytics capabilities.

Enterprise Support Nexenta offers 24x7 enterprise-class support and services globally. Prospects valuing reliability and ongoing operations could be receptive to expanded support contracts, managed services, and training programs around OpenSDS deployments.

Partner Ecosystem A robust partner network (300 partners) and historical collaborations (ZeroStack, SanDisk, ScaleMatrix) indicate potential for co-sell and integration opportunities with complementary IT vendors, cloud service providers, and hardware ecosystems to accelerate deals.
