Channel partners will benefit from access to Maxta sales and technical resources, level pricing for all partners regardless of size, and a channel-only model. Many customers have already deployed MxSP's converged compute and storage solution that provides VM-centric enterprise-class data services such as snapshots, clones, replication, thin provisioning, compression, and de-duplication. Additionally, Maxta can coexist with legacy storage solutions thereby providing investment protection.

"We believe that our channel-focused approach is the best way to accelerate the sales growth of Maxta Storage Platform™ to key markets throughout the world," said Steve Velardi, Maxta's Vice President of Worldwide Sales. "Maxta is 100 percent committed to the channel and we want to leverage our partners' experience of the local markets to help us gain visibility and traction. Together, we can leverage these sales opportunities while providing customers with the next generation storage platform."

"Maxta slots in perfectly to our existing portfolio of storage solutions and provides us with another tool in our arsenal to win business," said Chetan Ravnikar of Process Global.  "More and more customers are becoming savvy about the benefits of virtualization in their data center but the costs and complexity can be overwhelming.  Maxta minimizes these issues and allows us to quickly and easily close sales.  We look forward to a long and successful relationship with them."
