Google and fellow cloud titan Amazon both medaled in this category last year, but voters went with a more traditional set of vendors in 2015: Microsoft (maker of the StorSimple hybrid cloud storage solution), HP (maker of the similarly monikered Simply StoreIT), and long-time SMB storage stalwart Netgear Inc.
Microsoft Corp. is a provider of software, services, and solutions that enable SMBs to grow by leveraging powerful, affordable technologies such as cloud computing.
HP helps SMB Solution Providers thrive in a competitive market by providing relevant and impactful compensation programs, demand generation initiatives, and sales enablement resources. When added to the broadest IT portfolio in the industry, it's the most compelling growth opportunity for the partner community.
Netgear Inc. is a manufacturer of networking, storage, and security products for businesses and consumers.
