“We’re excited to recognize the forward-thinking companies featured on this year’s Stellar Startups list,” said Jennifer Follett, vice president, U.S. Content, and executive editor at CRN, The Channel Company. “This honor highlights each organization’s commitment to tackling IT channel challenges, driving innovation through cutting-edge technologies and empowering partner success. We can’t wait to see how they continue to shape the future of the industry.”
“Being recognized as a CRN Stellar Startup is a proud moment for our team and our partners,” said Nelson Nahum, CEO and co-founder of Geyser Data. “We built this company with the channel at the center. Our partnership programs are crafted with partner success in mind. They’re designed to bring value to everyone involved and make a real impact. At Geyser, we’re committed to building partnerships that deliver results for our partners and their clients.”
Geyser Data has earned its place by offering something the channel has long needed but couldn’t find in the public cloud: Amazon S3-compatible cold storage with no egress fees, at a fraction of the cost. Built on modern tape infrastructure and delivered with simplicity and security in mind, Geyser Data’s Cold Data Cloud empowers partners to deliver more value to their customers while protecting margins and ensuring long-term data accessibility.
Designed for security, durability, and radical cost-efficiency, the Cold Data Cloud introduces purpose-built storage classes that make long-term data retention effortless. Organizations benefit from fast retrieval, flexible access, and the lowest total cost of cloud archiving without compromise. At just $1.55 per terabyte, Geyser Data delivers pricing that beats industry giants and ensures customers get the best possible value.
What truly sets Geyser apart is its commitment to security and environmental impact. Each customer’s data is stored on private dedicated tapes with advanced encryption and airgap import and export capabilities, offering unmatched data protection. And because it’s built on modern tape, it’s also one of the most energy-efficient ways to store data, helping customers reduce their carbon footprint.
In a rapidly evolving storage landscape, solution providers need reliable, future-forward partners. Geyser Data was built from the ground up with the channel in mind, continuing the successful partner-centric approach pioneered by CEO Nelson Nahum at his previous company.
Whether you're a partner looking to expand your portfolio or an organization searching for a more secure, cost-effective, and sustainable archive solution, Geyser Data offers a breakthrough approach that solves a massive, long-standing pain point in the industry.
The 2025 CRN Stellar Startups list is a go-to resource for solution providers looking to identify emerging vendors that can help them stay competitive and capture new revenue opportunities. The complete list is available online at www.CRN.com/StellarStartupsstarting November 10, 2025.
