Annual guide recognizes the channel’s top partner programs
Fort Lauderdale, FL, April 10, 2017 –
DataCore
, a leading provider of
Software-Defined Storage
and
Hyper-converged Infrastructure
solutions powered by
Adaptive Parallel I/O technology, announced today that CRN®, a brand of The Channel Company, has given
DataCore Software a 5-Star rating in its 2017 Partner Program Guide. This
annual guide is the definitive listing of partner programs from technology
vendors that provide products and services through the IT channel. The
5-Star Partner Program Guide rating recognizes an elite subset of companies
that offer solution providers the best partnering elements in their channel
programs.
“DataCore deserves the CRN 5-star rating not only because of their partner
enablement proficiencies, but because their products drive additional value
for DataCore partners – especially when combined with an alliance partner
like Lenovo so as to deliver a true, ‘all in’ solution,” stated Mark Wylie,
CEO at Flagship Solutions Group. “Even though hyper-converged computing is
a current trend, DataCore’s solution has provided capabilities and benefits
inherent to hyper-converged for years. Now with a revamped Partner Program,
I see DataCore able to capitalize on a real inflection point in the
industry.”
To determine the 2017 5-Star ratings, The Channel Company’s research team
assessed each vendor’s partner program based on investments in program
offerings, partner profitability, partner training, education and support,
marketing programs and resources, sales support and communication.
The DataCore Premier Partner Program encompasses a prestigious global
network of DataCore-authorized solution providers, value-added resellers,
and system integrators. Partners have access to invaluable resources,
skillsets and venues designed to offer differentiated competitive
advantage, stronger account control and higher customer retention. DataCore
has recently developed a new Americas channel team and partner-enablement
strategy, including the onboarding of new DataCore Target Partners as go-to
resellers.
“For solution providers, finding the right technology vendors to partner
with is crucial to the health of their business, and the vast array of
choices can be overwhelming,” said Robert Faletra, CEO of The Channel
Company. “Our annual Partner Program Guide and 5-Star ratings help them
narrow the field, identifying the most rewarding partner programs and
outlining their strengths and benefits.”
“It is critical to understand a partner’s business and goals and how your
products fit into their portfolio to create the best value,” said Devi
Madhavan, vice president, Channel Sales & Enablement at DataCore
Software. “DataCore offers our partners a number of different options based
on our unique Parallel I/O technology that delivers higher performance,
greater application workload productivity and cost savings by leveraging
the multi-core advances and cost efficiency of off-the-shelf x86 server
platforms.”
The 2017 Partner Program Guide will be featured in the April issue of CRN
and online at www.CRN.com/ppg.
