World Leader in OpenStorage Recognised in the 9th Annual International Business Awards

LONDON, UK - August 21, 2012—Nexenta® Systems, the world leader in OpenStorage solutions, today announced that it was selected as a 2012 Silver Stevie® Award winner in the Fastest Growing Company of the Year in the U.S.A. and Canada category in The 2012 International Business Awards. Nexenta recently announced that it is on track to reach 350 percent annual growth in 2012.

“Nexenta’s record growth is a direct result of the market’s embrace of the OpenStorage model and this award recognises that shift,” said Nexenta CEO Evan Powell. “Along with our almost 300 reseller partners around the world, we are disrupting outdated legacy storage and delivering significant benefits in choice, flexibility and price for our customers.”

The International Business Awards were launched in 2003 to recognise the achievements of organisations worldwide. Winners are judged by a panel of 200 leading global executives from a pool of more than 3,200 entrants.

“Entries to the IBAs grew substantially this year,” said Michael Gallagher, president and founder of the Stevie Awards. “Despite slow economic conditions in much of the world, the quality of nominations was outstanding, demonstrating that there are many companies that are innovating and growing regardless. We’re looking forward to celebrating this year’s Gold, Silver and Bronze Stevie winners at our gala event in Seoul on 15 October.”
Winners of the The International Business Awards will be honored in Seoul, South Korea at the Ritz-Carlton Hotel on October 15, 2012. The lists of honorees in all categories are available at http://www.stevieawards.com/iba/.
