NetApp Partners with The Value Systems to Expand Offerings to Mid-Sized and Large Enterprise Organizations
Bangkok - October 26, 2009 -
NetApp (Thailand) Ltd. has combined forces with leading IT
distributor The Value Systems Co., Ltd. to strengthen its position
in the Mid-Sized and Large Enterprise segment with NetApp's unified
storage architecture and storage efficiency offerings to help
customers achieve cost savings and value.
NetApp has appointed The Value Systems Co.,
Ltd., as its Value-Added Distributor in Thailand with the intent to
expand market reach by providing a comprehensive partner
infrastructure to recruit, enable and motivate new partners.
According to Khun Weera
Areeratanasak, Country Manager, NetApp Thailand, "The
Value Systems has extensive experience and strong reseller network
for every market segment. It has successfully promoted NetApp
products in government and manufacturing sectors. Today The Value
Systems is expanding its contribution to NetApp's long-term success
by reaching out to the Mid-Sized and Large Enterprise segment."
Khun Somsak Pejthaveeporndej,
President of The Value Systems said "NetApp's range of
storage offerings are unique because they have their own software
to manage and increase utilization and efficiency. From our
interactions with customers and partners, we see current market
trends towards virtualization, backup and de-duplication, and we
are confident that enterprise storage from NetApp provides
best-of-breed technology for a customer's data center and disaster
recovery requirements. Our selected resellers have strong
knowledge, capability, and readiness to extend the support needed
by our customers in the Enterprise market. We have also provided a
solution center for our resellers and vendors to utilize for
trainings and product tests to demonstrate the NetApp solutions to
customers."
"The storage market in Thailand continues to
have opportunities. The main target groups will be the banks,
finance institutions, airports, schools, hospitals, as well as CCTV
projects from the Bangkok Metropolitan which will be expanded to
other provinces in the near future. These projects have immense
storage requirements and NetApp storage is definitely the
best-in-class for our customers' needs to manage data and
information," Khun Somsak added.
NetApp recently announced new enhancements to
the NetApp Partner Program, formerly known as the VIP Program, with
the introduction of new infrastructure and enablement tools to help
make doing business with NetApp easier for partners.
"NetApp is dedicated to working with The
Value Systems to invest in our partners to further their businesses
and open new opportunities," said Khun Weera. "High-impact
enablement tools such as the NetApp Field Portal and Campaign
Express make it easier for our partners to build their own
marketing campaigns and gain easy access to selling tools, allowing
them to stay focused on being the trusted advisor to their
customers and NetApp continues to strengthen our long-term partner
relationships."
