Datadobi and Climb Channel Solutions have announced that they have expanded their partnership agreement, under which Climb will now offer Datadobi’s world leading unstructured data management solutions to resellers and solution providers across EMEA.
Under terms of the agreement, Climb channel partners in EMEA will now be able to enhance their invaluable consultative services and IT deployment and management expertise with all of Datadobi’s unstructured data management solutions, including the newly announced StorageMAP. Built upon Datadobi’s best-in-class vendor-neutral unstructured data mobility engine, StorageMAP enables enterprises to discover, organise, and act on unstructured data distributed across on-site, remote, and hybrid cloud environments. In addition, StorageMAP enables organisations to understand and take control of their data’s cost, carbon footprint, risk, and value.
In turn, these strategic channel partners, trusted by enterprises across the region, will now have streamlined access to the most innovative, reliable, and cost-effective solutions for moving, managing, and protecting data across heterogeneous on-premises, remote, and cloud environments. As a result, significant Digital Transformation hurdles will be overcome and eliminated.
Research firm IDC predicts that, over the next five years, more than 80% of the data collected by organisations around the world will be unstructured data, and that will only continue to grow 40 to 50% per year for most enterprises. In an analyst brief titled, “The Data Mobility Engine as the Foundation for an Efficient Data Management Strategy” authored by IDC’s Research Vice President of Infrastructure Systems, Platforms and Technologies Group, Eric Burgener, he urges organisations to implement a comprehensive data management strategy to confront this increasing influx of data, noting that a data mobility engine provides the foundation for an effective data management strategy and can drive significant benefits for the hybrid multi-cloud enterprise.
“Indeed, this is what we are seeing and hearing from our strategic reseller and solution provider partners. Enterprise organisations are facing a multitude of challenges as they work to reign in control of their exponentially growing unstructured data environments. This is particularly true as it pertains to their ability to move their unstructured data to the cloud, be it on-site or a public cloud such as AWS, Azure, and/or Google,” said Jane Silk, Vice President, Distribution, EMEA, Climb Channel Solutions. “With Datadobi, our channel partners can deliver the ideal solution for understanding, moving, optimising, and protecting NAS and object data across and between any on-site or cloud environment. Moreover, with these added capabilities, as we have already seen happen in the US, our EMEA channel partners will bolster their trusted advisor status, drive additional business opportunities, and dramatically grow their bottom-line.”
Matthias Nijs, Vice President, EMEA Sales, Datadobi, said: “We are delighted to be expanding our presence in the EMEA region with Climb, a channel solutions provider that is synonymous with enabling channel partner success with the most advanced and disruptive technologies. We look forward to continuing our work together providing VARs and MSPs with the technology, enablement, and support necessary to meet enterprise customer requirements, and in doing so, take their businesses to the next level.”
