Veeam Software, the data backup provider, is recognizing 14 partners for sales success, customer support and product education.
The company this week announced its Impact Partner Awards, which includes vendors, distributors and resellers.
The company named Ingram Micro its top distributor. HPE took the title of strategic alliance partner of the year. The corporate reseller of the year was Insight.
“Veeam’s success depends on our partners’ success, so we’re excited to recognize and honor these North American partners with our highest achievement awards,” said Kevin Rooney, vice president of North American Channel Sales for Veeam. “It was a tough choice, as we have more than 43,000 Veeam ProPartners worldwide, and our program is strong, with 27 percent year-over-year revenue growth across all partner levels. The number of partner reps selling Veeam Availability solutions is higher than ever, and we don’t think it’s a coincidence that partner certifications have also grown by double digits — more highly trained partners are able to sell more Availability solutions. These winners have made Veeam a key strategic component of their business model, and have driven our success.”{ad}
