Tegile Systems,
the leading provider of flash-driven storage arrays for databases,
virtualized server and virtual desktop environments, today announced
that CRN, a brand of The Channel Company, has awarded Tegile a 5-Star
rating in its 2017 Partner Program Guide. This annual guide recognizes
an elite subset of technology vendors that service solution providers or
provide products through the IT Channel while offering the best
partnering elements in the channel programs. This is the fifth
consecutive year that Tegile has earned recognition from CRN with a
5-Star rating.
Tegile's
channel partner program includes more than 475 resellers across North
America and Europe. To help partners differentiate through product
innovation, Tegile launched IntelliFlash Cloud Platform,
a rack scale all-flash platform designed for Fortune 1000 enterprises,
at VMworld 2016. IntelliFlash Cloud Platform and all Tegile all-flash or
hybrid arrays are also supported by Tegile IntelliCareTM, the company's
comprehensive customer care program. Tegile IntelliCareTM includes
Lifetime Storage, a program that delivers an entirely new storage system
to customers, including the controller and media, every three to five
years with a flat maintenance contract. This, combined with IntelliPay,
an agility pricing program that allows customers to pay for storage per
gigabyte-month as they use it, enables channel partners to deliver
cloud-like pricing and efficiency to enterprises.
"Storage
plays a critical role in helping businesses scale and uncover new
growth opportunities. The channel is well positioned to help them
uncover these possibilities, driven by the latest advances in storage,"
said Sherman Tam, director of channel & partner marketing at Tegile.
"This 5-star rating from CRN is a reflection of our dedication to our
partners' success and ability to meet demands for solutions that are
innovative, cost-effective and reliable."
"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."
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 2017 Partner Program Guide will be featured in the
April issue of CRN and online at www.CRN.com/ppg. To learn more about Tegile or become a Tegile partner, visit: https://partners.tegile.com.
