| Source: Mezeo Software
HOUSTON, TX--(Marketwire - September 14, 2009) - Mezeo Software, the leading provider of
deployable cloud storage solutions, today announced it has partnered with
Nexenta Systems, the leading provider of enterprise-class open storage
software, to offer a complete, service-enabled cloud storage offering that
can be quickly deployed in any technology environment.
The Mezeo™ Cloud Storage Platform is a software-only, simple to deploy
solution that enables service providers to quickly deliver their own
branded cloud storage service. NexentaStor from Nexenta Systems is ideally
suited to provide a high performance and highly scalable storage
infrastructure to support the Mezeo Platform. The joint solution enables
service providers to accelerate their time to market, offer advanced cloud
storage services and offer a competitively priced, dependable and secure
service to their customers.
"We chose to partner with Mezeo because of the superior user experience of
their solution, including its use of RESTful Web services APIs and WebDAV
support," said Evan Powell, Chief Executive Officer of Nexenta Systems. "We
are impressed with Mezeo's understanding of the requirements of service
providers and their focus on helping service providers quickly deploy a
range of feature-rich storage services to their own customers. I believe
that Mezeo and Nexenta offer an unmatched total solution to service
providers deploying cloud storage services."
Unlike other vendors who rely primarily on access methods such as NFS and
CIFS that can limit accessibility via the Web, Mezeo's RESTful Web Services
APIs allow service providers to extend the capabilities and services of
their cloud storage infrastructure far beyond what is offered by
traditional storage. This delivers the anytime/anywhere access service
providers -- and their customers -- demand.
"NexentaStor software fits well with Mezeo solutions because NexentaStor
delivers truly enterprise-class storage performance and data integrity as
well as significant savings in a hardware independent, virtualization aware
solution. We believe NexentaStor provides an ideal foundation for cloud
storage solutions," said Mezeo President and CEO Steve Lesem. "To compete
in today's 'eat or be eaten' environment, service providers need the
cloud-scale performance that our partnership with Nexenta provides."
The Mezeo Cloud Storage Platform is highly secure, with SSL encryption of
files in transfer and 256-bit AES encryption for data at rest. This enables
users to have anytime/anywhere access to stored files via the web,
smartphones (BlackBerry,® iPhone and Windows Mobile®) and desktop,
using the Mezeo Native client for Windows and WebDAV-based connectivity for
Linux and Mac.
The Mezeo team is announcing the partnership at the Tier 1 Hosting
Transformation Summit North America, which runs September 14 to 16 at the
Mirage Hotel in Las Vegas, Nevada. Mezeo is a Gold Sponsor and will be
exhibiting at the event in booth #4.
