Connected Data Adds THREE
Channel Partners in Europe
Connected Data has announced further expansion across
the European market, signing three new strategic channel
partners: Blue Profile, NDC and Virtek.
The new partners will provide Connected Data’s Transporter
for Business, private cloud file sync and share (FSS) appliances to
their respective network of customers across the UK and Ireland.
The announcement comes fast on the heels of announcing its
first value added distributor in Europe, Commtech.
“We carefully select partners with proven capability in
taking emerging technologies to market,” said Russell John-
son, COO of Connected Data. “These strategic partnerships
continue to show our commitment to delivering private cloud
file sync and share solutions across Europe, helping us to offer
a secure alternative option to popular public cloud services.”
Launched in 2015, Transporter for Business appliances
offers businesses an FSS solution that is 100 percent private
and secure.
Virtek, which specializes in virtualization, cloud services
and data storage for SMBs, has a strong customer base within
the financial, legal, retail and gaming sectors; and data secu-
rity is the prime focus for VAR and consultancy NDC. For
Blue Profile, the IT infrastructure and security specialist, the
issue was to find its customers a solution that gave them con-
trol over data locality.
“Everyone has heard of Dropbox, but we wanted some-
thing innovative and different, we were looking for a more
secure option that could guarantee security, data control and
location control but still offer all of the major benefits of a
public cloud solution,” said Wayne Kenward, director at Blue
Profile. “Transporter for Business fits this need.”
