Wasabi Launching Partner Network Program

Wasabi Technologies, Inc., a cloud storage company, is launching its partner program as the go-to cloud storage solution for partners and customers.

By joining its Partner Network, partners can tap into the power of cloud storage with the opportunity to earn incentives, leverage sales and technical enablement, and access go-to-market resources. Pricing model is simple and predictable, featuring no tiers and no fees for egress or API requests making Wasabi a choice for solution providers, including MSPs, CSPs, system integrators, or anyone offering managed or cloud services.

International Data Corporation predicts that by 2025, the amount of data stored will be 163ZB with data volumes doubling every two years.

To address and scale alongside these needs, channel partners can leverage the Wasabi brand and empower their customers with price and performance efficiencies. This solution can be implemented with existing applications and is compatible with the S3 API.

The Partner Network program puts partners in control of cumulative revenue streams with the good price and performance model. Volume incentives are available to partners allowing them to resell or bundle the service, and set their own pricing options for end customers. A self-service portal for sales and technical enablement, deal registration, and marketing resources to support go-to-market efforts is also available.

Enrico Signoretti, analyst at GigaOM Research shares: “Wasabi’s Cloud 2.0 vision, based on an open ecosystem of best-of-breed clouds that can interact seamlessly, is all about great technology, strong partnerships, and free data mobility. And with this new channel program, Wasabi is executing on this vision extending the partner ecosystem while giving more options to the end users.“

Wasabi CEO and co-founder David Friend notes: “As data continues to grow and becomes the lifeblood of companies, the more their businesses will depend on where they store that data. Through a combination of affordability, speed and security, Wasabi’s hot cloud storage powers companies with an unmatched ability to leverage all of their data. At Wasabi, we are looking forward to having this partner program in place, which will not only grow our global partner strategy, but our customer base as well.“

Wasabi has attracted hundreds of partners offering their hot cloud storage as part of their services offerings, ahead of the launch of the official program. Because Wasabi is integrated with technology alliance partners such as Cloudflare, Inc., Komprise, Inc., Packet Host, Inc., Rubrik, Inc., Veeam Software, Inc. and over 200 other technologies, it is a fit to bundle as part of these solutions and realize price and performance benefits for both the partners and their customers.

“This is a huge opportunity for partners in the cloud storage space as 75% of all storage is currently sold via channels in the US and primarily sold via the channel in Europe,” says Jennifer Kula, VP alliances and channels, Wasabi. “Wasabi works to help partners change the conversation with their customers, enabling them to be the hero for driving improved ROI. There are no upfront fees or minimum commitments with the Wasabi partner program and it is easy to implement and sell.“
