Quantum Updates Partner Program

Quantum Corp. announced an enhanced programme to enable technology partners to deliver differentiated workflow solutions for their customers.

The Quantum Advantage Program is a platform for partners to test and qualify their technology with Quantum offerings, ensuring that they provide integrated solutions for the demanding customer environments. Technology partners seeking to expand their offerings in strategic markets such as broadcast and post-production, video surveillance, cybersecurity, data protection and archive can fast-track time to market for their joint solutions with technical and marketing support from Quantum. In addition, the programme allows technology partners to align more closely with Quantum’s network of 12,000 resellers worldwide.

Advantages for partners
By providing early access to Quantum technology, the Advantage Program enables partners to integrate key features and optimise performance ahead of new product releases, thereby ensuring the fastest time to market. They can leverage a range of products and technologies, including performance workflow storage, object storage, intelligent tiering software and backup and DR solutions for physical, virtual and cloud environments. As one example, many media asset management and editing partners already integrate with Quantum’s StorNext scale-out storage, one of the most widely supported platforms for applications in media and entertainment and other performance environments. To ensure that these and other partners have the in-depth knowledge needed to develop and deliver innovative and differentiated solutions, Quantum also provides world-class training through the Advantage Program.

Multilevel programme offers choice of engagement.

Advantage Program has three membership levels:

• Advantage Partner: Partners are recognised within the Quantum ecosystem for offering approved, validated solutions.
• Advantage Preferred Partner: Engineering and business support includes dedicated Quantum resources plus a broader level of awareness and training for technology partners’ solutions among the Quantum team and channel partners.
• Advantage Premier Partner: The highest level of engineering and sales support available from Quantum includes dedicated technical and marketing resources, sales incentive programs, and equipment at no cost to aid in current and future product development.
  

Karl Mehring, head of product architecture, Snell, Ltd, said: “Quantum is a technology partner that shares our values in openness and ease of integration, which are critical factors for success. I know with Quantum I can count on having the technical and business support we need to help us deliver optimised, timely solutions to our customers.“

Geoff Stedman, SVP, StorNext solutions, Quantum, said: “Customers deploying joint solutions from Quantum and our Advantage Partners can be confident they are implementing validated solutions that solve real-world problems better than generic storage alternatives. More than 80 technology partners have already qualified as Quantum Advantage Partners, and we’re building on that momentum to deliver proven, next-generation integrated workflow solutions that enable customers to maximise their potential.“
