Select List Features the Coolest Tech Startups Heating Up the IT Channel

 

Sunnyvale, CA, July 22, 2015 – Maxta®, a leading provider of hyper-converged solutions, announced today it has been named to The Channel Company’s exclusive 2015 CRN® Emerging Vendors List. The annual list features up-and-coming technology vendors that have introduced innovative new products, creating opportunities for channel partners in North America to create high-margin, cutting-edge solutions for their customers. The vendors recognized this year have demonstrated a commitment to developing new technologies to meet growing market demands.  

This is the fifth time Maxta has been recognized by CRN. Maxta was awarded the 5 Star rating for its partner program, Data Center 100, Virtualization 50 and Emerging Vendor 2014.

Maxta MxSP™ software and MaxDeploy™ Appliances provide companies the flexibility to hyper-converge on any x86 server, any compute abstraction layer, and any combination of storage devices eliminating the need for complex and expensive storage arrays. The simplicity of Maxta’s VM-centric solutions reduces IT management and lowers cost, all while delivering hyper-scale, enterprise-level data services and capacity optimization. With Maxta, service providers and enterprise customers can build private and public clouds based on any cloud orchestration software. 

Maxta is 100 percent committed to building mutually successful business models with partners and works side-by-side with them to help formulate high-margin sales strategies and close opportunities. Unlike other vendors that require users to purchase dedicated appliances with fixed configurations and expensive upgrades, Maxta solutions deliver the flexibility to leverage the latest server technology from any server vendor as well as protect investment in existing server infrastructure with the ability to scale compute and storage independently.

“Solution providers continue to keep their finger on the pulse of emerging technology in order to stay ahead of customer needs. The exciting technology vendors recognized in this year’s Emerging Vendors List don’t disappoint—the innovative technologies they bring to the table provide channel partners with product options that will propel their success into the future,” said Robert Faletra, CEO of The Channel Company. “We congratulate 2015’s Emerging Vendors for their outstanding efforts and for delivering cutting-edge technology solutions that will continue to evolve the IT channel.”  

“We are extremely pleased to be recognized by The Channel Company as an Emerging Vendor. Maxta partners play a strategic role in delivering MxSP software and MaxDeploy appliances to end users who seek to gain the benefits of hyper-convergence,” said Kiran Sreenivasamurthy, Director of Product Marketing and Product Management, Maxta. “With Maxta, channel partners are able to provide MxSP software and MaxDeploy appliances running on brand name and white box servers, preserving the customer’s choice in servers while providing dramatically simplified storage management and cost savings.”

Companies included in CRN’s 2015 Emerging Vendors list were founded in 2009 or later and are actively working with channel partners in North America. The list, along with information about each vendor, will be published in CRN’s August 2015 issue and will be available online at www.crn.com.
