Increase Revenue And Profit Opportunity With OneXafe And ShadowXafe

Downtime can be catastrophic for businesses. This is particularly the case for smaller businesses that lack the time, money or manpower to prevent it.

Due to the rapid growth of data in today’s world, small-to-midsized businesses require stronger protection and management to prevent downtime. As a result, solution providers need a next-generation solution set of which they can feel confident.

“There needs to be more training on how backups work,” says Crystal Sharpe, who handles centralized services and security at Next I.T.

StorageCraft offers solution providers, such as Sharpe, training and certifications on products through its new Partner Success Program and dedicated partner portal, Partner Zone.

“Our Partner Success Program is designed to provide tools and training to reward partners with higher margins when they complete the certifications. Our Partner Zone is our online partner portal, which we hope becomes a one-stop place for partners to get the resources that they need,” says Marvin Blough, vice president of worldwide sales at StorageCraft.

Along with the proper training, what partners really want is the ability to view all of their customers’ data through a single pane of glass, according to Sharpe. She says, “Everything being in one portal just makes life easier. The less time we’re spending, the more money we’re making.”

StorageCraft has created two new solutions to meet partner’s needs:

1. ShadowXafe – a next-generation data protection solution.

2. OneXafe – Integrates scale-out storage with enterprise-class data protection in an easy-to-use, configurable platform.

“As your customers’ networks evolve, we’re providing the technology that is going to allow you to service those customers and address the needs they have as their networks change,” says Blough, who adds StorageCraft is addressing the entire disaster recovery realm.

With options like these, Partners can offer a wider set of data protection and disaster recovery services that address more of their customers’ needs, in turn becoming trusted advisors.

Everyone knows how valuable trust is in today’s marketplace. That’s why it’s vital for solution providers to partner with a trusted name as their first choice when it comes to choosing a business continuity technology partner.
