CRN Profiles StorageCraft on ChannelWeb
CRN has a profile on StorageCraft that it just posted as part of its Emerging Vendor series.
With such major players using its technology it shouldn’t come as surprise that the people running the company thought they could do well for themselves by forming their own channel program and working with solution providers directly.
The profile touches on a little company history and highlights our two channel programs.
CRN just put StorageCraft on its Emerging Technology Vendor List
CRN just put out its annual Emerging Technology list and StorageCraft made the cut for the second year in a row. Everything Channel looks at all kinds of newer companies and singles out those who deliver high margins for their solution provider partners by creating easy-to-use technology that is more affordable than software and services from the big companies.
“Solution Providers seek out innovative vendors that create new and innovative ideas to help them build revenue and customer loyalty,” said Robert C. DeMarzo, senior vice president and editorial director, Everything Channel. “Our Emerging Tech list is where Solution Providers go to find these vendors. We congratulate all of the vendors for their innovation and creativity and their commitment to the technology sales channel.”
It’s nice to be recognized by a channel authority like CRN. You can check out the press release announcement here: http://www.storagecraft.com/news/2009/crn-names-storagecraft-2009-emerging-tech-vendor.php.
StorageCraft History
Sometimes it’s difficult to know where to begin, so when in doubt, begin at the beginning. StorageCraft’s history started in the 90s as StorageCraft, Inc. — a company that made storage drivers and other tools. In 2003, it merged with ShadowStor and became StorageCraft Technology Corporation.
For the first few years we focused on using the great tools created in the 90s and developing really reliable software from them. First, we offered ShadowServer, ShadowUser and ShadowSurfer, which made use of the original snapshot driver the company had developed.
Several other companies were already using our technology in their backup software, so we decided to use our fantastic snapshot driver to create our own backup and disaster recovery solution. In 2005, we released ShadowProtect, which has gone on to win awards and praises around the world.
The company is located in Draper, Utah in the U.S. If you’ve ever wondered where Draper is, it’s in the south part of the Salt Lake valley.
