Storewiz to Offer Comprehensive Sales, Marketing and Technical Support to Its Growing Community of Channel Partners Through Its Vanguard Channel Partner Program

SAN JOSE, Calif. -- Storewiz, Inc., a provider of innovative online storage compression solutions, today unveiled its Vanguard channel partner program, empowering worldwide solution providers to partner with Storewiz and successfully sell and support the company's advanced data compression solutions. The Vanguard Partner Program is an integral part of the Storewiz global go-to-market strategy and is being introduced in parallel with a number of recent agreements signed with leading storage VARs worldwide who have embraced the tremendous business benefits Storewiz has to offer both to them and to their customers.

"With our strategy and commitment to drive the business 100 percent through the channel, it is essential for us to provide our partners with a support framework, as well as arm them with all the tools they need to promote the Storewiz solutions set," said Nir Kunik, Executive Sales VP at Storewiz. "Storewiz has introduced the most advanced data compression product available on the market today," continued Kunik. "We named our program Vanguard because it represents the spirit of Storewiz - a pioneer, leader and innovator in its field."

Storewiz has shipped over 120 units in just over 12 months since its STN-5000[TM] flagship product, was launched, and has recently announced several business partnerships with leading storage resellers in key geographies.

"This is a great product that will allow us to sell to our existing accounts as well as break into new accounts," said Andy Pratt, CEO for UDI (Unique Digital Inc.), Storewiz's newly-signed US partner. "The Storewiz data compression product is the right product at the right time as IT managers struggle with the exploding data storage challenge."

"COMPAREX stands as a veteran in the storage business and has seen many solutions addressing storage expenditure costs, but rarely does such an exciting technological approach and business opportunity present itself, such as the Storewiz solution set," said Karl Heinz Knapp, General Manager Product Marketing & Business Development of COMPAREX. "We are pleased to partner with Storewiz and begin to offer its innovative line of products."

"We have taken on many new technologies over the years," said Vinson Chua, Managing Director for Asaiki Technology from Singapore. "We are very impressed with the innovation and uniqueness of the storage compression technology introduced by Storewiz, and we look forward to the significant savings we can now offer end users who deploy the solution, as well as the tremendous business opportunity for us as a Storewiz channel partner."
