FT. LAUDERDALE, Fla., April 3, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- DataCore Software, the storage hypervisor leader and premier provider of storage virtualization software, today announced it has been named to CRN's 2013 Partner Program Guide and awarded a 5-Star Partner rating. The CRN Partner Program Guide is the definitive listing of manufacturers and software publishers that service solution providers or provide products to the IT Channel. The guide recognizes those vendors who have channel programs and derive a portion – or all – of their sales through the indirect IT Channel. The 5-Star Partner Program rating recognizes an elite subset of Partner Program Guide vendors who give solution providers the best partnering elements in their channel programs.

The list methodology is based on objective criteria that take into account each vendor's investments in program offerings, partner profitability, partner training, education and support, marketing programs and resources, sales support and communication. Vendors are assessed using information provided in their completed applications.

DataCore™ has a vibrant global channel partner community, with channel programs tailored to the nuances of each geographic location. Through its Premier Partner Program, DataCore looks to extend partners' current virtualization practices and expand their prospecting fields and account footprints. More than 500 solution partners worldwide actively offer solutions based on the SANsymphony™-V storage hypervisor, and the program's singular "Premier" tier is designed for partners focused on IT infrastructure solutions. Partners are selected by invitation only to cover regional territories without over-distribution. The DataCore Premier Partner Program offers resellers a range of benefits, including a distinctive competitive advantage, an expanded virtualization opportunity, greater account control, better customer retention, and higher profitability.

"The companies listed in the CRN 2013 Partner Program Guide represent a comprehensive list of the best channel programs in the market today," said Kelley Damore, senior vice president and editorial director for UBM Tech Channel's CRN. "The 5-Star award is reserved for vendors that understand that a successful partnership does not rely solely on the technology. By offering their partners tools, education and regular updates, vendors on this list go above and beyond traditional support to ensure a mutually beneficial partnership."

"DataCore Software is honored to be recognized by CRN with its prestigious 5-Star award for the fourth consecutive year and included in the CRN 2013 Partner Program Guide," said David Ochser, channel chief, Americas at DataCore Software.
