SAN JOSE, Calif., March 26, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Extreme Networks,
Inc. (Nasdaq: EXTR) today announced it has been awarded a 5-Star
rating in The Channel Company's CRN 2015 Partner Program Guide.
This annual directory is the definitive listing of technology
vendors that solution providers rely on to deliver products through
the IT channel. The 5-Star Partner Program rating recognizes an
elite subset of companies that offer solution providers the best
partnering elements in their channel programs.
"Extreme Networks is proud to once again receive the 5 star
partner program rating from CRN. The honor reinforces the work we
have done to build the Extreme Partner Network with programs that
reward our partners for their investments in Extreme Networks, and
is bolstered by our award-winning product portfolio and highly
engaged sales and support teams," said Bob
Gault, vice president of global channels and partners,
Extreme Networks. "Solution providers who are focused on the cloud
and mobility, and who are engaging in new business models, should
work with Extreme Networks."
The ranking underscores Extreme Networks' commitment to partner
success. Extreme Networks offers solution partners numerous sales
and enablement tools, a robust rewards program and exceptional
sales and technical training across all levels. In addition,
the Extreme Partner Network (EPN) enables partner growth with the
delivery of proven solutions across wired/wireless, software
defined networking, data center, analytics and security.
The honor is the latest in a series of accolades for Extreme's
channel program. Most recently, Gault was named to the prestigious
list of the 2015 CRN Channel Chiefs and was recognized as one of
the 50 Most Influential Leaders.
"Solution providers have a lot of choices when it comes to
selecting vendors to team with. Identifying the right vendor, with
the right technologies, and the right approach can make all the
difference," said Robert Faletra,
CEO, The Channel Company. "Our annual Partner Program Guide and
5-Star rating recognizes the best channel programs available in the
market today to help solution providers determine which vendors
deliver the best partner elements for their individual business
goals."
To determine the 2015 5-Star recipients, The Channel Company's
Research team assessed each vendor's application based on
investments in program offerings, partner profitability, partner
training, education and support, marketing programs and resources,
sales support and communication. The 2015 Partner Program Guide
will be featured in the April issue of CRN, and online at
