New program tiers (Elite, Premier, Authorized, Registered) with program and financial benefits-with clear growth paths and milestones
More Market Development Funds (MDF) for partners with a proposed plan for growth
Not-for-Resale (NFR) purchase program featuring discounts on Tintri storage for use in partner labs and demo environments
Increased sales incentives and a rewards payment system to automate and expedite the process of qualifying for, claiming and receiving incentives
Enhanced certifications (Tintri Certified Sales Professional, Tintri Certified Sales Engineer and invite-only Tintri Certified Sales Expert), training and enablement resources via Tintri’s partner portal

“These additions and improvements to our Partner Program demonstrate our commitment to our channel partners,” said Eric Berry, VP, global channel operations. “Tintri offers our partners highly differentiated VM-aware storage solutions, leading to greater business value for partners and their customers.“

“Tintri’s VM-aware storage resonates with our customers. When they see how easy it is to install, configure and manage Tintri, they’re blown away. And then when they realize they can guarantee the performance of individual virtualized applications, Tintri stands apart – and so do we,” said Kevin Vogl, VP of virtualization and cloud, Champion Solutions Group, Inc. “Tintri proves to our customers that we’re a strategic partner offering best of breed solutions to help them realize their virtualization vision.“

“We’ve been consistently impressed by how easy it is to do business with Tintri,” said Aaron Cardenas, CEO, P1 Technologies. “They have supported us through training, co-marketed events, sales cycles and more – demonstrating not only a differentiated approach to storage, but also to the way they engage with partners and customers.“
