Leading Service Provider Program Nearly Doubles in Size in Six Months, Enables Partners to Increase Profits and Help Customers Succeed with NetApp
SUNNYVALE, Calif. - January 18, 2012 - Organizations worldwide are turning to cloud services to gain efficiencies and respond faster to todays rapidly changing business demands. Service providers play a critical role in bringing cloud services to market and helping customers make strategic infrastructure decisions. Together, NetApp and its service provider partners have achieved proven success as trusted advisors to these customers. By collaborating with NetApp and its partners, customers are achieving accelerated business results with cloud solutions ranging from on-premise private cloud solutions to off-premise public cloud services.
NetApp (NASDAQ: NTAP) today announced that customers are reducing costs, managing business growth, and improving customer service with cloud services built on NetApp technologies. These cloud services are delivered through a global ecosystem of service providers who benefit from the NetApp Partner Program for Service Providers, which was the first of its kind in the storage industry. Over the past six months, this global partner ecosystem has nearly doubled in size with the addition of more than 20 new partners; today it includes more than 50 service providers. In partnership with NetApp, these service providers deliver more than 90 innovative services that help customers accelerate and simplify their transition to private and public clouds.
NetApps success in establishing a strong partner ecosystem has enabled many of our enterprise and midsize business customers to achieve greater value, speed, and efficiency by leveraging cloud services offered by partners participating in the NetApp Partner Program for Service Providers, said Julie Parrish, senior vice president, Global Partner Sales at NetApp. NetApp is focused on collaborating with partners - not competing with them - to help them increase their revenue, grow their businesses, and help customers succeed in capitalizing on the opportunities that adoption of public and private cloud solutions offer.
Customers Accelerate Business with Cloud Services from NetApp Service Provider Partners
World-class service providers are collaborating with NetApp as their partner of choice to build, deploy, and sell differentiated cloud service offerings that help customers improve business outcomes.
BayGroup International Reduces Costs with Cloud Services from Quest
BayGroup, a global negotiation and training company, reduced their IT spend up to 60% by storing all of their data and applications in a virtualized cloud environment. By using data protection as a -service from Quest, theyve shifted 80% of their spending to operating expenses and now need fewer people to manage local services such as data storage, backup, recovery, and day-to-day maintenance.
Using Quests cloud service built on NetApp technologies, our savings have been tremendous, said Frank Lucido, director of information technology at BayGroup International. Quests services are so proactive that weve liberated a full-time employee to focus instead on our core business-critical needs. Without Quests cloud services, BayGroup would need two additional full-time employees.
BlackLine Systems Manages Business Growth with Cloud Services from Rackspace
BlackLine Systems provides a software as a service (SaaS) solution, which automates and controls the financial close process for Fortune 1000 companies. Their biggest challenge was scaling to meet the demands of an installed base that was growing at more than 100%, so they outsourced their IT infrastructure, using a Rackspace cloud service to rapidly expand their business without investing in their own IT infrastructure. The Rackspace hybrid cloud solution provided the enhanced security capabilities to overcome concerns with moving sensitive data outside their corporate firewalls.
Rackspace and NetApp know that in the SaaS world, youre only in business if your application is up and running, said Mario Spanicciati, executive vice president of operations, BlackLine Systems. We selected Rackspace as our cloud service provider for the companys winning combination of premier hosting infrastructure and services coupled with an always-available and knowledgeable customer service organization - along with the confidence of knowing its all backed by a solid NetApp storage foundation. By working with Rackspace and NetApp, BlackLine is able to provide clients with a reliable, secure, high-performance enterprise-class SaaS application. This solution enabled BlackLine to grow and focus on the areas that were important to us, taking our business further and faster than we could have done on our own.
Loughborough University Accelerates Research Discovery with Cloud Services from Logicalis
Loughborough University upgraded its data center to improve IT efficiency and support to its extensive community of academic researchers. The university turned to Logicalis to consolidate their existing data center, creating a local private cloud integrated with the Logicalis hosted cloud for data protection. One of first hybrid cloud environments in the UK, this innovative solution enables the university to free up resources to focus more on its core educational mission and produce more research in less time.
With our hybrid cloud solution from Logicalis based on NetApp technologies, we reduced our data center footprint by 80%, said Phil Richards, IT director of Loughborough University. Power, cooling, and administrative expenses have been equivalently reduced, and we have increased the speed with which we serve the university community. With our old data center infrastructure, procuring IT support for new research projects took weeks. Our cloud now enables IT to act as a research acc
