SUNNYVALE, Calif., Jan. 12, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Maxta®, a leading provider of hyper-converged and software-defined storage solutions, has been selected as a finalist for TechTarget's Product of the Year 2015 award in the Enterprise Storage System Software category. The company was honored for its latest release of the Maxta Storage Platform (MxSP™). Maxta was also nominated as a finalist in the same category for the first release of MxSP in 2013.
The enterprise storage system software finalists in the 2015 Storagemagazine/ SearchStorage.com Products of the Year competition span a wide range of technologies from software-defined storage to hyper-convergence. Products that were eligible for consideration in the enterprise storage system software category spanned the following areas: file systems, volume management, storage virtualization software, security software, storage optimization applications, solid-state caching software, cloud storage software, software-defined storage and object storage software.
Maxta MxSP™ software-defined storage solutions provide organizations the choice to deploy hyper-convergence on any x86 server, use any hypervisor, and any combination of storage devices. Deployed as either software or as part of a MaxDeploy™ appliance, the simplicity and flexibility of Maxta's VM-centric solution reduces IT management to maximize cost savings. Hyper-scale, enterprise-class data services, and capacity optimization empower organizations to hyper-converge, eliminating the need for SAN or NAS devices.
New features in MxSP 3.1.1 include application-defined storage, the ability to optimize storage attributes independently for multiple applications running on the same cluster. The release also delivers enhanced management providing VM-level visibility, as well as historical and real-time statistics on capacity, latency, IOPS and throughput. MxCloudConnect™, Maxta's cloud-based reporting and alerting system provides 24/7 proactive support and centralized data analytics.
"We are honored to be named once again among the year's best storage products by highly respected industry media," said Yoram Novick, Maxta CEO. "Over the past few years, Maxta and our products have earned industry, media and customer acclaim for our ability to provide cost-effective and simple-to-manage IT solutions. This recognition is a validation of our continued efforts to raise the bar in providing maximum benefit to those looking to deploy highly efficient virtual data centers."
Finalists were judged by a panel comprised of a cross-section of users, analysts, consultants and Storage magazine and SearchStorage.com editors. The products are rated according to their innovation, performance, ease of integration, ease of use, functionality and value. Results will be published in the February issue of Storage magazine and online.
