| Atlantic Data Team Signs on as Member of Hifn's Channel 100 VAR Partner Program Hifn announces that Orlando, FL-based Atlantic Data Team has signed on as the newest member of Hifn's Channel 100 VAR Partner program for its Swarm Encrypted IP SAN appliances. Focused on the SMB customer, Atlantic Data Team is dedicated to providing integrated solutions and IT services throughout the Southeast. Bob Moylan, Vice President of Sales and Marketing at Atlantic Data Team, said with the Swarm product line, Hifn offers resellers a unique storage platform with built-in encryption, which is becoming an increasingly important feature for customers that are facing regulatory compliance challenges as well as future security standards that are likely to appear given the wider awareness about the importance of securing data. "Hifn's got a great technology, especially with encryption and the versatility and ease of use of configuring the appliance and setting up the encryption from a simple management interface", said Moylan. "When I did my research and compared four different vendors, I found Hifn is the only one with built-in encryption. That was key for me and my clients." Additionally, Moylan was impressed with Hifn's responsiveness and service. "I heard they had a good reputation and they're an up-and-coming company just like us. They were the first ones to call me back. To me that's an indication of how they're going to treat customers. So their support is another aspect of it." Atlantic Data Team was recently spun out as a division of Atlantic Communications Team, a communications solutions VAR, including Voice over IP communications systems. That relationship is a strong business builder, said Moylan, as its communication parent directs referral business to Atlantic Data for customers who need IT services and backend storage for their VoIP systems. "Atlantic Data Team is a great addition to our lineup of channel partners as they're a reflection of Hifn in many ways: an aggressive new player with customer-focused solutions and a deep understanding and expertise in storage", said John Matze, Vice President Business Development at Hifn. "We look forward to working together with Atlantic Data Team to deliver iSCSI storage solutions to SMB customers." As a member of Hifn's Channel 100 Partner Program, Atlantic Data Team will enjoy resources such as training webinars, lead generation, product spiffs, joint customer visits with Hifn storage experts, discounted demo units, public relations and telemarketing support, and event and marketing program support based on sales volume. write your comments about the article :: © 2008 Networking News :: home page |
