Panasas Featured in CRN’s 2018 Partner Program Guide
Annual guide recognizes the IT channel’s top partner programs
SUNNYVALE, CA – April 4, 2018 – Panasas®, the leader in performance scale-out network-attached storage (NAS), today announced that CRN®, a brand of The Channel Company, has recognized Panasas in its 2018 Partner Program Guide. The annual guide is the definitive listing of partner programs offered by technology vendors that provide products and services through the IT channel.
To compile the guide, 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.
“Finding the right technology vendor to partner with can be a daunting task, given the vast array of choices now available to solution providers,” said Robert Faletra, executive chairman of The Channel Company. “CRN’s Partner Program Guide helps them narrow the field and find the best fit, identifying the most rewarding partner programs and providing crucial insight into their strengths and benefits. We are pleased to present our 2018 PPG list, recognizing the strongest and most successful partner programs in the channel today.”
The Panasas Accelerate Partner Program provides resellers with the strategic tools, resources and incentives they need to secure a profitable, predictable, realistic and mutually beneficial partnership with the company. The program is all-inclusive, offering various tiered opportunities and benefits, including free training and back-end rebates.
“We are honored to have our Accelerate Partner Program recognized for the second consecutive year in CRN’s 2018 Partner Program Guide, validating our ongoing commitment to the channel,” said Philip Crocker, senior director of global channel marketing and business development at Panasas. “Channel partners who work with Panasas represent a storage solution that has been proven in some of the world’s most demanding and technically challenging workflows. Our customers love the attractive TCO, the pay-as-you-grow economics and the stellar post-sales support and service that comes with the Panasas high-performance storage solution. Resellers appreciate our channel-first approach — regardless of their size, business model, geographic location, or vertical focus, we are committed to providing our partners with superior business and technical resources, enablement programs, marketing tools and a global sales organization to contribute to their success.”
