Channel Round-up: January 2019
A round-up of all last month's biggest vendor, distributor and reseller stories exclusively for CRN Essential subscribers

The fast-moving nature of the IT industry often means that channel executives are so busy trying to keep up that they sometimes miss some of the biggest channel stories through a lack of time or inclination to dig through the archives of CRN and other news sites.
With that in mind, CRN is rounding up all the major stories to hit vendors, distributors and resellers in an easy-to-read PDF each month.
The January Round-up includes news on Alibaba, AWS, IBM, Veeam and Rubrik as well as a host of distributors and resellers, including Midwich, Computacenter, SoftwareONE and IDE Group.
It is accessible here exclusively to CRN Essential subscribers. January's round-up, however, can be viewed by all for free here.
