DataCore, the leader in
Parallel-Powered Software,
Application-Adaptive Data Infrastructure and
Hyper-converged Virtual SAN solutions, announced today that CRN
, a brand of The Channel Company,
has given DataCore
Software a 5-Star rating in its 2016 Partner Program Guide. This annual
guide is the definitive listing of technology vendors that service
solution
providers or provide products 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.
To determine the 2016 5-Star ratings, The Channel Company's research
team assessed each vendor's application based on investments in program
offerings,
partner profitability, partner training, education and support,
marketing programs and resources, sales support and communication.
The DataCore Partner Program,
which spans Premier and Traditional partners, is a robust program
designed to benefit all participants. The program was awarded a 5-Star
rating by CRN in recognition of its openness toward partners in ensuring
that doing
business with DataCore is simple, the comprehensiveness of services
offered, and the overall tangible value to those representing DataCore
in the channel.
DataCore has also focused on expanding its portfolio with
Hyper-converged Virtual SAN solutions and Parallel I/O technologies that
provide great
competitive differentiation for channel partners that represent DataCore
products.
"Solution providers have more choices than ever before when it comes to
selecting vendor partners. Identifying the right vendor with the right
technologies
and the right channel approach can mean the difference between
successful adoption of a new technology or business model and an
awkward, unnecessarily
difficult integration," said Robert Faletra, CEO, The Channel Company.
"Our annual Partner Program Guide and 5-Star ratings recognize the best
channel
programs available in the market today and serve as a valuable resource
for solution providers looking for the right fit."
"Our partners are critical to DataCore's success, and we have worked
tirelessly to build simple, focused programs designed to help them build
and grow
their businesses, while providing valuable recognition for those
committed to selling DataCore solutions," said Devi Madhavan, vice
president of channel
and sales enablement at DataCore Software. "It is an honor to receive
the 5-Star Partner Program rating from the Channel Company in
recognition of our
efforts in building a world-class partner program."
The 2016 Partner Program Guide was featured in the April issue of CRN and online.
