The programme is specifically targeted at partners in healthcare and pharmaceutical, government and public sector, financial services and banking, telecommunication and media entertainment and broadcast industries.

Rod Evans, EMEA channel partner manager at Copan Systems, said: “We are committed to working collaboratively with our partners to provide customers with a purpose built solution to address persistent data.

“Copan Systems partners are continuing to benefit from our dedication to the channel and through the enhancement of our programme we can provide greater opportunities for them to increase their profitability increase their customer base and differentiate from the competition.”

Currently Copan partners with 50 VARs, distributors and systems integrators worldwide and plans to significantly expand its partner base over the next five years.

Throughout EMEA the vendor works with 21 partners including distributor VADition and reseller STME.

Jocelyn Al Adwani, chief executive at STME, said: “Copan Systems presents an attractive opportunity for our customers who are concerned by the sheer volume of data within their organisation. Its MAID platform allows us to offer a credible long term solution rather than a short term band-aid approach to the tough challenge of explosive data growth.

“It was its innovative product that attracted us to Copan Systems and the massive power savings and effective economics of persistent data management that keeps us working with them.”
