SAN JOSE, CA - April 30, 2008
BlueArc® Corporation, a leader in scalable, high-performance unified network storage, today announced program enhancements to its BlueArc Partner Acceleration Program that build on the company's distinctive technology and collaborative approach to sales, bringing competitive advantage to channel partners and compelling options for customers with data-intensive storage requirements, in markets such as electronic discovery, entertainment, federal government, higher education, Internet services, oil and gas and life sciences.
The BlueArc Partner Acceleration Program formalizes BlueArc channel activity with program elements designed to drive new business and sustain customer satisfaction.
These include:
Companies such as VarData find BlueArc products' distinctive, high-performance capacity and architecture helps differentiate their solution offerings and value-added services.
"Together, VarData and BlueArc offer customers a more efficient and cost-effective alternative for increasingly complex storage requirements," said Jeff Coke, founder and president, VarData. "This powerful combination has helped VarData dramatically grow our storage business and deliver outstanding service without compromise. The rewards of this partnership clearly extend beyond the bottom line."
The BlueArc Partner Acceleration Program is designed to help partners make the most of recent product introductions such as the Titan 3000, which offers performance to 200,000 IOPs, scalability to 4 petabytes in a single namespace, and modular upgradability, and the Titan 1100, which provides enterprises and small and medium-size businesses the performance advantage and features found in BlueArc's high-end product-at a competitive price point. Scalable up to 128 terabytes of storage, the Titan 1100 server's modular blade architecture makes it easy to upgrade, bringing partners additional opportunities to offer value-added services.
"BlueArc provides our channel partners with advantages our competitors can't match, from superior, differentiated products and technical support to truly integrated teamwork that starts with sales and carries through to implementation," said Cameron van Orman, Senior Director of Channel Marketing. "We are fortunate to work worldwide with a select, growing, team of channel partners who are growth-oriented, technically apt and attentive to customers.
