AutoVirt Creates Channel Partner Program for OEMs, VARs, SIs

AutoVirt has broken out its channel partner program to help OEMs, VARs and SIs leverage AutoVirt’s file migration and management software.

The AutoVirt Channel Partner Program is now broken into two tiers, Basic and Premiere. Basic partners will benefit from financial incentives, sales and tech certifications and training, marketing tools, referral leads, registration deals, margin protection, support from AutoVirt’s account team and access to the new AutoVirt Partner Portal. Premiere partners, meanwhile receive full access to AutoVirt’s AutoAssess, which helps them find and classify files across heterogeneous file storage environments, find opportunities to optimize their data centers and identify any migration obstacles.

“This announcement underscores AutoVirt’s passionate commitment to building and continuing to enhance a Channel Partner Program that provides our channel partners with all the resources necessary to meet and exceed their customers’ file data assessment, migration and management requirements,” AutoVirt Vice President of Sales Warren Mead said. AutoVirt has identified data migration challenges as the top obstacle businesses face when trying to optimize and consolidate their data centers. The company believes its trio of data migration solutions – AutoAssess, AutoMigrate and AutoManage – can help businesses overcome their data migration issues and ultimately save money through data center consolidation. Here’s a short breakdown of the three solutions:

1. AutoAssess helps administrators assess and identify file system errors such as missing permission shortcuts that can delay data migration.
2. AutoManage constantly manages users’ NAS environment. AutoVirt claims the solution creates a more efficient and flexible data migration management process.
3. AutoMigrate allows data migration to occur across heterogeneous NAS platforms without disrupting workflow.

So the new AutoVirt Channel Partner Program is an avenue for AutoVirt to get its solutions out to more business end users. Mead also said the channel partner program aims to shorten sales cycles and increase profitability for AutorVirt’s partners.
