Panzura Featured in 2017 Cloud Partner Program Guide

CAMPBELL, Calif., Sept. 19, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Panzura, the leader in unstructured data management in the cloud, today announced that CRN_®, a brand of The Channel Company, has recognized Panzura in its 2017 Cloud Partner Program Guide, a list of leading technology vendors with cloud-related partner programs that enable and accelerate the growth of solution providers' cloud initiatives.

"As a channel-first company, Panzura is absolutely committed to the success of our partners, and our inclusion in CRN's 2017 Cloud Partner Program Guide is yet another validation of that commitment," said Keith Carpenter, vice president global sales and field operations at Panzura. "Just last month, we unveiled Panzura Inside 2.0, a program that gives our partners the ability to deploy the new Panzura Freedom 7 virtual machine (VM) on leading hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI) systems and all-flash arrays (AFA), enabling their customers to eliminate traditional NAS, saving up to 70 percent versus the status quo. It's a great opportunity for the channel, and includes a starter bundle that can be downloaded and deployed in minutes with existing HCI and AFA systems."

The Panzura Freedom 7 VM includes high performance NFS and SMB, integration with VMware tools, and dynamic scalability for VM resources. Freedom 7 delivers unprecedented performance and scale; expanded data center workloads; deployment on any platform and cloud; automated, centralized management; and unmatched cloud data protection.

The Panzura Cloud File System (PCFS) underpins Panzura Freedom 7. PCFS was purpose-built for the cloud and offers intelligent file services such as global namespace, real-time distributed locking, global deduplication, SmartSynch, and military-grade encryption.

The CRN 2017 Cloud Partner Program Guide serves as a valuable resource for solution providers navigating the booming cloud marketplace, helping them to identify technology suppliers with innovative cloud offerings and partner programs. To qualify for participation in the Cloud Partner Program Guide, technology vendors must have a unique set of partner program benefits for solution providers that deliver cloud infrastructure or applications.

"In a saturated cloud market, it can be difficult for solution providers to differentiate among cloud vendors and find the right ones to partner with," said Robert Faletra, chief executive officer at The Channel Company. "CRN's Cloud Partner Program Guide simplifies this painstaking process, identifying the cloud partner programs with a compelling combination of resources, support, training, and financial incentives. Our 2017 guide features a strong lineup of cutting-edge companies with proven track records of helping partners meet and exceed their customers' needs."

The Cloud Partner Program Guide will be featured in the October issue of CRN and can be viewed online at www.crn.com/cloud-ppg.
