HYCU, Inc., a pioneering
enterprise software company specializing in data backup, recovery and
monitoring for next-generation Enterprise Clouds, today announced a new
program, Speed to HYCU, for Nutanix Velocity program mid-market focused channel
partners. This first HYCU channel program specifically focused on HYCU partners
serving mid-market customers rewards partners for selling HYCU licenses with
Nutanix Velocity opportunities. The Speed to HYCU Program follows the
announcement of the new HYCU Global Partner Program that has been well received
in the market. Similar to the Global Partner Program, Speed to HYCU is intended
to provide additional value for Partners selling the joint Nutanix and HYCU
solution.
"We're thrilled that
partners like HYCU are investing in our technology and initiatives to drive
adoption of the Nutanix Enterprise Cloud OS software," said Jay Chitnis, Senior
Director of Strategic Alliances, Nutanix. "HYCU has echoed the Velocity
Program's vision of creating programs and incentives specifically with the
mid-market in-mind. We value HYCU's commitment to working alongside Nutanix to
prioritize helping our partners and, ultimately, providing our customers with
the right solutions for their datacenter needs."
As the first and only
purpose-built data protection and back-up software solution for Nutanix
environments, the new Speed to HYCU Program provides increased margin for
Nutanix Partners selling HYCU with a Nutanix Velocity opportunity.
Additionally, each quarter, HYCU will be recognizing qualified partners by
region, with rewards for the greatest number of Speed to HYCU sales to unique
customers.
Like HYCU for Nutanix's
intentional simplicity, one-click ease of use, all partner participants need to
do is indicate in the designated Deal Registration field if the opportunity is
an approved Nutanix Velocity Program opportunity and additional discounts for
HYCU will go into effect working with HYCU Value Added Distribution Partners.
Additionally, partners will automatically be entered into a quarterly contest
that will reward by geography for top selling transactional partners.
"It's our belief that
HYCU is a better data protection solution for Nutanix customers and we will
reward partners that sell the joint solution accordingly," said Junelle Swan,
VP Channels, HYCU, Inc. "HYCU for Nutanix is specifically designed as data
protection for Nutanix customers. It's easy to deploy, does not require agents,
and is hypervisor-agnostic supporting both Nutanix AHV and VMware vSphere. It
is also fully automated and extremely efficient. And, it does not require
additional licenses or infrastructure to deploy and support so it's extremely
cost efficient as well. Now, partners leading with the joint Nutanix and HYCU
solutions will also receive incentives and promotions as well as affordable,
pre-configured solutions. We're excited about the Speed to HYCU Program and how
it will complement the Nutanix Velocity Program. We look forward to
continuing to create programs for Partners that are profitable but more
importantly are compelling in solving their customers' hyper-converged data
center needs."
