CRN (Computer Reseller News) Magazine has been providing
news, analysis, and perspective insights for VARs and technology integrators
for more than 30 years. In 1997, CRN launched its UK edition of the magazine
that is now available in both print and digital formats.
For the past 21 years, CRN has been recognizing pinnacle
achievements in the UK market, rewarding those with outstanding performance in
the IT channel with the CRN Channel Awards. With 25 categories for vendors,
distributors, and resellers, the 2014 awards recognized the latest technology
innovations and advancements.
One of the 25 vendor categories is Storage Vendor the Year. The award is open to all vendors operating within the
storage arena. This includes manufacturers of hardware systems, software,
components or peripherals that are relevant to the storage market. This year, Nimble Storage, the hybrid flash
storage solutions provider, took that honor.
With over 4,300 customers across 38 countries, the Nimble
Storage Adaptive Flash platform has taken off primarily through the company’s
indirect channel model. This platform empowers IT organizations to predict,
manage, and deliver the storage required to optimize business applications and
workloads across the enterprise.
Nimble Storage is well positioned to quickly expand its
business by implementing a 100 percent channel model through trusted advisors
that have extensive relationships with enterprises. Nimble Storage continues to
focus on maintaining and growing deeper relationships across its partner
ecosystem, enabling partners to be self-sufficient through resources and
incentive programs that are low-friction and yield high-margins.
