Announcement posted by DataCore Software 20 Jul 2015
DataCore, a leader in Software-Defined Storage and hyper-converged virtual SAN solutions, today announced an increase in sales and further expansion of their Australian operations to support the recent and rapid business demand for DataCore solutions within ANZ.
DataCore storage virtualization and hyper-converged virtual
SAN solutions
empower organisations to seamlessly manage, protect and scale their data
storage. These technologies enhance and work with the data storage products
already in use within most organisations, and are able to deliver massive
performance gains, higher availability and new levels of flexibility at a
fraction of the cost of solutions offered by legacy storage hardware vendors.
Marco Marinelli has been added to
the team and has been appointed as a Regional Sales Director for Australia and
New Zealand, based in DataCore’s Melbourne office. Marco has 30 years of
technology industry experience, with recent senior positions at Dell and HP.
Australia is now the headquarters
for DataCore’s expansion into the Asia Pacific Region, with Jamie Humphrey
recently announced as VP of Asia Pacific and Japan Sales in May 2015, and Orla
Hanby appointed as Marketing Manager. This expansion has coincided with an
expansion of DataCore’s partner program, to support increased end user demand
for software defined storage solutions.
Mr. Humphrey commented, “With more
than 1,000 customer sites already up and running within the Asia Pacific
region, we are continuing to rapidly grow our presence within Australia and New
Zealand, with offices in Sydney and Melbourne.”
“Our solution is a no-brainer for
any channel partner that is looking to offer their clients a quick win for
storage scalability and performance. It works perfectly with the hardware
brands that their clients already have, supports ultra-high availability
designs, and banishes hardware vendor lock-in. As a result, we have seen a 50%
increase year-on-year sales revenue in this territory.”
Technology alliances with Dell, Cisco, Fujitsu, Huawei, and Lenovo have also been added
to a long list of vendor partnerships. This gives Australian solution providers
and systems integrators a simple way to transform, for instance, Dell or Cisco
infrastructure by pairing it with DataCore software and backend storage to form
comprehensive, flexible, software-defined platforms that serve as the
cornerstone of the next-generation, software-defined data center.
Distributed in Australia by Avnet
and Westcon, DataCore solutions are available and deployed via accredited
systems integration partners.
Mr. Humphrey continued, “We
provide a wide range of marketing, sales and technical support to our
Australian channel partners. Our ‘Hyper-converged Virtual SAN Seed Promotion’
and new programs have been extremely effective in developing new partner
relationships and driving new sales opportunities for our partners, while
helping us to expand our partner base in Australia.”
DataCore storage virtualization
solutions serve as the architecture for uniting storage infrastructures – reducing
total cost of ownership (TCO) and increasing business agility. The marketing
program and especially the new seed promotion enables a new DataCore partner to
get a fast and easy win for their first DataCore customer account – quickly
demonstrating to the client the performance improvements, savings, and high
availability that they can achieve by deploying DataCore across their entire
storage infrastructure.
