Riverbed Technology (NASDAQ: RVBD), the application performance
company, today announced that the Riverbed® Partner Network (RPN)
program has been recognized by CRN with top honors. The program was
awarded a 5-Star Partner rating within CRN's 2013 Partner Program
Guide and was also recognized as a 2013 Channel Champion in the
wide area network (WAN) Optimization/WAN Acceleration category. To
accelerate partnership momentum, Riverbed has focused its program
on offering tools, resources, and profitability programs that
enable its partner ecosystem to sell a broad set of solutions that
address the ever-changing demands of modern IT architectures.
Riverbed Partner Program Receives 5-Star
Partner Program Rating The 5-Star Partner Program rating
recognizes an elite subset of Partner Program Guide vendors who
give solution providers the best partnering elements in their
channel programs. The CRN Partner Program Guide is the definitive
listing of manufacturers and software publishers that service
solution providers or provide products to the IT Channel. The guide
recognizes those vendors who have channel programs and derive a
portion of their sales through the indirect IT Channel. The list
methodology is based on objective criteria that takes into account
each vendor's investments in program offerings, partner
profitability, partner training, education and support, marketing
programs and resources, sales support and communication. Vendors
are assessed using information provided in their completed
applications.
"The companies listed in CRN's 2013 Partner Program Guide
represent a comprehensive list of the best channel programs in the
market today," said Kelley Damore, senior vice president and
editorial director, for UBM Tech Channel's CRN. "The 5-star award
is reserved for vendors that understand that a successful
partnership does not rely solely on the technology. By offering
their partners tools, education, and regular updates, vendors on
this list go above and beyond traditional support to ensure a
mutually beneficial partnership."
Riverbed Named 2013 Channel Champion for WAN
Optimization CRN's annual Channel Champions awards are based
on the results of a series of surveys conducted with top solution
providers; the awards are presented to vendors receiving the best
ratings in the areas of technological satisfaction, support
satisfaction, and financial benefits. The CRN Channel Champions
survey is the largest and broadest-based technology integrator
market study in the industry, measuring the overall perceptions of
vendor products and services by IT solution providers. The end
result is a list of the most partner-friendly vendors in the
channel, serving as a valuable resource for technology integrators
when evaluating vendors and their programs. Riverbed was selected
as the overall category winner for the WAN optimization/WAN
acceleration category.
"Riverbed supports its partners with a value-based channel
program model, whereby we deliver innovative programs that develop,
enable, and engage our partner community to help them to grow their
business," said Michele Hayes, senior director, Global Channel
Programs and Strategy at Riverbed. "It is an honor to receive these
two industry awards, as it reinforces our commitment to working
together with our partners and equipping them with the relevant
performance solutions and programs they need to gain competitive
advantage and to effectively address the new demands being placed
on IT infrastructures today."
The Riverbed Partner Network program is built around four key
pillars to ensure partner success -- competency, engagement,
marketing, and profitability. It is a comprehensive program
designed to provide growth and profitability for each type and size
of Riverbed partner, including distributors, global partners, large
account resellers, as well as enterprise and small/medium
enterprise solution providers. During the past year, Riverbed
introduced a new specialization framework -- Technology
Authorization Paths (TAPs) -- to ensure partners are well versed on
the full Riverbed performance platform and prepared to help
customers modernize their data centers. TAPs empower Riverbed
partners to build competency across one or many Riverbed
performance solutions and sell the solutions best suited for their
market expertise. Additionally, Riverbed introduced a new partner
training program and profitability program to drive continued
partner growth and product adoption.
More than 22,000 organizations worldwide depend on Riverbed to
understand, optimize and consolidate their IT infrastructure,
through solutions that overcome performance issues caused by
distance, distributed computing, and ever increasing amounts of
data. As IT organizations embark on strategic initiatives to
virtualize, consolidate and migrate workloads into cloud
environments, users are moved farther from their data. Slow
applications, slow file transfers and inefficient websites can
negatively impact the performance and success of these initiatives.
Riverbed transforms IT performance by providing solutions spanning
WAN optimization, storage delivery, application-aware network
performance management, application performance management,
application delivery controllers, web content optimization (WCO),
and cloud data protection. By providing the broadest portfolio of
performance solutions that deliver anywhere, any-application
optimization, Riverbed enables organizations to increase
productivity and efficiency, while enhancing business resilience
and controlling costs.
