Guide highlights Avnet’s solutions for public, private and hybrid cloud environments
Avnet,
Inc. (NYSE: AVT),
a leading global technology distributor, announced today that CRN®,
a brand of The
Channel Company, has recognized Avnet in its 2016
Cloud Computing Partner Program Guide, a list of leading technology
companies with cloud-related partner programs that enable and accelerate
the growth of solution providers' cloud initiatives.
The CRN 2016 Cloud Computing Partner Program Guide serves as a
valuable resource for solution providers navigating the booming cloud
marketplace, helping them to identify technology suppliers that offer
innovative cloud solutions 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.
Avnet continues to evolve its pioneering Avnet
Cloud Marketplace, its one-stop shop that offers comprehensive
solutions from leading cloud service providers such as Amazon Web
Services and IBM, flexible payment models, and a powerful cloud
management toolset. With its ever-increasing offerings, the Avnet Cloud
Marketplace has taken an end-to-end approach with cloud computing –
including public, private and hybrid solutions – creating scalable
solutions to subscription and consumption models to support various
types of partners. The Avnet Cloud Marketplace enables partners to
quickly and cost-effectively expand their offerings, transforming them
into the single-source cloud provider and trusted advisor customers
want, and it provides a comprehensive platform that spans the entire
cloud ecosystem, providing a way to easily buy, bill, manage and
optimize cloud services in the U.S. and Canada.
“This continued recognition from CRN underscores the value of the
Avnet Cloud portfolio to our partners, as well as the ability of these
Avnet partners to deliver essential cloud IT services that help their
customers enhance business agility and improve time to market,” said Tim
FitzGerald, vice president of Digital Transformation, Avnet Technology
Solution, Americas. “Avnet delivers high-performance, secure, reliable
and scalable cloud, automation, orchestration and data integration solutions
for all workloads that help solve today’s business-to-business cloud
computing challenges.”
“For channel partners, active support for their cloud-based solutions is
more critical than ever,” said Robert Faletra, CEO of The Channel
Company. “CRN’s 2016 Cloud Computing Partner Program Guide
recognizes vendors that provide excellent resources, training and
financial incentives for cloud, doing their best to help partners make
the most of this now foundational practice area. We congratulate all the
innovative, forward-looking companies on the 2016 list and invite the
solution provider community to take full advantage of this terrific
resource for finding the right cloud vendors to partner with.”
Avnet’s approach to the cloud exemplifies how Avnet is helping its
partners excel through specialization and capitalize on the high-growth,
next-generation technologies that are redefining the future. In addition
to the cloud, partners can leverage Avnet’s in-depth expertise in
complementary technology market segments, including cognitive computing,
data analytics, the data center, the Internet of Things (IOT), mobility,
security and enterprise networking.
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.
