NexentaStor is officially supported on Dell, HP, and IBM hardware. The only question is, "what is your definition of 'support'"? Many NexentaStor customers today appear to be deploying on SuperMicro and Quanta systems, for obvious cost reasons. Nexenta has good working relationships with these major vendors and others. As for investment, Nexenta has been and continues to hire the best engineers and professional services people we can find. We see a lot of demand in the market and have been growing at an astonishing rate.
