OSNexus Partner Portal

Welcome to the OSNexus Partner Portal! The Partner Program at OSNexus provides resellers and technology partners with sales enablement tools, partner software discounts, training, and resources to help solution engineers and account executives become QuantaStor experts. On this page, we have provided some materials to help you get started as an OSNexus partner. Download a one-page overview of relevant partner information here.

License Pricing

The 2024 Price Calculator is useful for getting pricing estimates for both new deployments and expansions. To use the calculator you'll first need to gather the total RAW capacity for a given deployment (excluding hot-spares and journal devices). Next, open the calculator and input the total RAW capacity and your partner discount. For customers with existing deployments, you may input the existing capacity in the top calculator section, then input the new expansion RAW capacity in the lower section so that a discount is applied based on their existing capacity.

Deal Registration

OSNexus protects all of our resellers with a deal registration process. You must register your deals to get the deal registration protection. Partners that deal register get 100% of their partner discount when they make a sale. If there is a conflict in a particular opportunity the partner that has registered will get a 100% discount and the partner that has not registered their deal will get a 0% partner discount so it is highly recommended to use the deal registration process to protect your opportunities. Deal registration is easy, just fill out the form at osnexus.com/dealreg and you'll get a confirmation from sales@osnexus.com.
