Datto seeking 500 EMEA partners

US backup vendor primed for expansion after moving into new regional HQ

US backup and recovery vendor Datto is primed for break-neck European channel expansion after moving into a new regional HQ in Reading, CRN sister publication Channelnomics Europe has reported.

Datto has been trading in the UK through distributor Paradeon Technologies since 2011, but established a direct presence in the country in 2013 after acquiring Paradeon. Since then, Datto has been working on growing its UK and Ireland operations and in mid-2015 it looked to extend its business to mainland Europe.

Andrew Stuart, Datto's managing director of EMEA, said he is looking to sign between 400 and 500 partners, comprising MSPs and VARs, in the next 12 months. For the full story, visit Channelnomics Europe.
