Veeam Software has named Datacentrix, a provider of high performing and secure ICT solutions, as one of only three local Platinum partners.

According to Lisa Strydom, channel manager lead at Veeam Software South Africa, the organisation has worked closely with its top local Gold partners over the past six months as part of the process to identify three partners to be invited to join its Platinum partner programme.

“It gives us great pleasure to announce that Datacentrix is one of the first partners in the South African region to be invited onto Veeam’s Platinum partner programme, effective 1 October 2014,” she says. “We look forward to working with Datacentrix at a national level in driving strategic initiatives into 2015.”

“Veeam recognises the challenges that many companies are experiencing in keeping a business of any size afloat at all times, addressing them with a range of solutions that provide high-speed recovery, data loss avoidance, verified protection, leveraged data and complete visibility,” explains Tony de Sousa, Datacentrix enterprise business unit manager. “The Veeam mission to provide ‘always-on’ availability for the modern data centre aligns perfectly to Datacentrix’ focus on providing high availability, optimised data centre solutions.

“To be identified as one of Veeam’s top partners in South Africa is indeed a great honour,” he adds.
