Accolade
Western Digital Corporation, one of the leading global storage
companies, announced today that HGST, a Western Digital Brand, has
been awarded a 5-Star rating in the CRN 2017 Partner Program Guide
for its innovative Enterprise Partner Program. This annual guide is
the definitive listing of partner programs from technology vendors
that provide products and services through the IT channel.
"To meet today’s digital transformation requirements, HGST,
together with our channel partners, is providing innovative
storage and data management solutions for public and private
cloud-based infrastructure," said Nigel Edwards, vice president of
Worldwide Sales at HGST. “We are honored that HGST’s
Enterprise Partner Program has received a 5-Star rating from CRN,
in recognition of our commitment to our partners’ success.”
Through the HGST Enterprise Partner Program, partners can
leverage all of Western Digital’s data center portfolio from
devices to systems, including the ActiveScale™
Object Storage System, designed for large-scale and
high-throughput use cases including backup, archive,
life sciences, and media and entertainment.
“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.”
The 5-Star Partner Program Guide rating recognizes HGST for
having an elite program that offers solution providers the best
partnering elements in their channel programs. 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.
