UK Hammer Expands Portfolio of NetApp

NetApp has extended the product range available via value added storage distributor, Hammer plc, granting distribution rights to the whole of NetApp’s portfolio.

This includes the FAS2000, FAS3000 and FAS6000 series, as well as the complete software solutions range, allowing the distributor to grow its partners to the highest level within the NetApp partner structure.

Hammer has demonstrated exponential growth since becoming a NetApp Silver Partner Programme Distributor in 2009, and adds value to the vendor’s range by training partners using Hammer’s NetApp-accredited technical engineers and demonstration kits, and accompanying resellers to customer sites to provide installation and training on the systems.

Hammer has also enhanced its NetApp internal team with dedicated partner managers and NCDAs (NetApp Certified Data Centre Administrators).

Jason Beeson, solutions director at Hammer, says: "We have been growing with our partners and can now service them on all levels no matter what NetApp requirements they have, all backed by our value-added services."

Beeson continues: "Our goal is to continue nurturing NetApp partners whatever level they may be and to help them maximise the superb opportunity that NetApp presents."
 
Pete Rawden, NetApp Partner Sales Director, UK and Ireland, says: "NetApp and Hammer have been working successfully together for over 2 years now and I am confident that this strengthening of our relationship will result not only in continued growth, but also in an improved range of resources being made available to Hammer’s partners."
