Cleversafe Announces Elevate Partner Program

Businesses have data requirements of
scale, security and efficiency that require groundbreaking solutions. MSPs and systems integrators have been limited in their ability to deliver
more innovative solutions and simply fall far short of tackling hyper-scale
data growth.

To address this, Cleversafe
Inc. announced its Elevate
Partner Program designed to provide channel partners – VARs, MSPs, ISVs, and systems integrators with technology solutions, marketing support and training they need to
enrich, cultivate and expand enterprise market selling opportunities.

"By
working with Cleversafe, organizations will be able to leverage our
groundbreaking Dispersed Storage network (dsNet) solution to deliver truly
limitless data storage. Moreover, the program offers expanded sales
capabilities for markets, verticals and solutions segments," said Dan
Beal, VP of WW sales for Cleversafe. "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 Elevate Partner Program provides a
framework to drive profitability and growth for partners that add dsNet technology to their portfolio, which applies the company’s patented
information dispersal technology to slice and geographically disperse data,
eliminate single points of failure and enable scalability beyond the petabyte level.

Program benefits include access to an
online gateway with solutions information, marketing and selling
materials, competitive analysis, product calculators, case
studies and more. Cleversafe also provides hands-on training and ongoing
education for partners to define and execute on their object storage strategy
and offering.

Cleversafe has also designed the Elevate Partner Program with the goal of advancing
partners’ solutions offerings and creating ongoing opportunities for
innovation. It is partnering with firms that specialize in distributed applications,
cloud, big data analytics, data security and networking. These organizations
rely on Cleversafe’s solutions to build private cloud architectures, implement
data ingest with NAS gateways, deploy file synch and share BYOD, and perform
big data analytics with Hadoop MapReduce.

Current members of the Elevate Partner
Program promoting this software designed networked storage include MSPs such as
Integrated Data Storage (IDS), global platinum partner CTC Itochu Techno
Solutions, UK Distribution Partner Channelfusion, and National Platinum
partners Advanced Systems Group (ASG), Bell Techlogix, and IDS. These companies
are already seizing revenue opportunities via expanded service offerings and
enhanced marketing and selling capabilities.

and BYOD trends

"Our
goal is to deliver the right solution that is tailored specifically for our
customers’ IT needs. Our success is tied directly to this ability to deliver
the technologies that best address those needs," said Mark Teter, CTO
at Advanced Systems Group, LLC. "Cleversafe
has provided us with a very powerful solution for our customer base that needs
to deploy and manage private and public peta-scale cloud storage
infrastructures. With Cleversafe, we can not only give our customers a secure
and highly available storage solution, but we can deliver it over multiple
geographical locations. This has given us a silver bullet for a very
challenging IT problem."

"We
deliver custom IT solutions to customers in various industries including media
& entertainment (M&E) and higher education in order to ensure that
production studios can easily collaborate around massive digital media projects
or, in the case of higher education, to provide a safe place for students to
store, exchange and engage with academic data," said Michele (Mike)
Hjorleifsson, director, Apple technology services at Bell Techlogix. "Although our solutions are as unique as our customers’
needs, they share a common high expectation for scalability, reliability,
built-in security and seamless access to data. Our partnership with Cleversafe
will enhance our ability to meet their demands."

"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 Integrated Data Storage, LLC. "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."
