A new partner program aimed at helping managed service providers (MSP) and a variety of channel partners deliver scalable and secure solutions has been launched by Cleversafe, Inc. The Elevate Partner Program is geared toward helping the company's channel partners deal with hyper-scale business growth rates cost effectively and securely.
The program is aimed at all channel partners, including MSPs, VARs, ISVs and global system integrators. It offers technology solutions in addition to marketing support and training to enable Cleversafe partners to safely scale their offerings, as well as cultivate and expand on enterprise market sales opportunities.
The Elevate Program offers a framework so that partners may grow and profit by adding Cleversafe's dsNet technology to their offerings. This applies patented information dispersal technology, and lets partners slice and geographically disperse data, as well as eliminate single points of failure – all while enabling scalability to beyond the petabyte level.
Additional benefits of the program include access to an online gateway providing exclusive solutions information, sales and marketing materials, competitive analysis, case studies and product calculators. The company also offers hands-on training and ongoing education to enable partners to define and execute their object storage strategies and offerings.
"By working with Cleversafe, organizations will be able to leverage our groundbreaking Dispersed Storage network (dsNet) solution to deliver truly limitless data storage," said Dan Beal, vice president of worldwide sales for Cleversafe. "Moreover, the program offers expanded sales capabilities for markets, verticals and solutions segments. We are making a significant investment in partner collaboration and in supporting a managed services model in order to offer strategic disruptive IT solutions that will help our partners uncover new business opportunities."
The program already has several members, including MSP Integrated Data Storage (IDS). Additional members include CTC Itochu Techno Solutions, Channelfusion, Advanced Systems Group (ASG) and Bell Techlogix.
"The unique technology that Cleversafe brings to the table has allowed IDS to create an offering for customers that competes in price-point and simplicity, and that goes well beyond in delivering unrivaled security, scalability and availability," said Justin Mescher, CTO at IDS. "For our clients in the insurance, healthcare and legal markets that deal with strict compliance and security regulations, our ability to deliver cloud platforms that meet those requirements is of utmost importance. By joining the Elevate Program we will also be able to continue to evolve our public cloud solutions and create true hybrid clouds to offer customers comprehensive cloud strategies."
