Astute Networks Inc., a provider of high-performance flash-based virtual machine storage appliances, has unveiled the AstuteNET Partner Program, its first formal partner program.
Astute’s ViSX Flash VM storage appliances enable channel partners to add a high-performance data store tier of networked flash to their customers’ performance-constrained environments. According to the San Diego-based company, ViSX is easily deployed in minutes with no changes to existing applications, servers, storage, and network infrastructures.
The multidimensional program includes dedicated sales resources, assigned technical resources, promotional incentives, education and training, access to a set of sales tools, and joint marketing capabilities.
The program is offered at three levels: Reference Partners do not typically sell Astute products, but receive compensation for referrals that result in product sales. Authorized Partners resell Astute ViSX solutions on a regional basis and receive sales and technology support. And Advantage Partners meet the required virtualization and storage certifications and have virtualization and storage practices. They receive greater discount margins, lead referrals, and sales support, and participate in market development funds distribution.
