Zerto Consulting Partner of the Year: AHEAD
The Zerto Award winner for Consulting Partner of the Year is AHEAD – a provider of enterprise cloud solutions. AHEAD leverages Zerto to provide enterprise-class disaster recovery and business continuity software for virtualized infrastructure and cloud environments. The company, which posted major year-on-year growth with Zerto, approaching 200 percent, achieved this success largely based on a strong focus across Zerto for data center migration and disaster recovery solutions. Through its growth and acquisition strategy, AHEAD has acquired companies like Roundtower and Kovarus, which were top Zerto partners pre-acquisition. Now with AHEAD’s size and scale, both companies have turned into powerhouses in this space.
Zerto Managed Service Provider (MSP) of the Year: TierPoint
For the second year in a row, the award for Managed Service Provider (MSP) of the Year goes to TierPoint – a provider of secure, connected IT platform solutions that power digital transformation initiatives. TierPoint’s disaster recovery as a Service (DRaaS), powered by Zerto, protects virtualized workloads from data loss and downtime. It also offers a variety of configurations with failover to private, multi-cloud, and public cloud services in the event of a disaster. Not only did TierPoint deliver significant revenue growth this year, but the company also grew the number of Zerto-protected VMs by more than 2 million instances.
