Avnet, Inc. has announced that it has been recognized in The Channel Company’s prominent CRN^® 2015 Cloud Computing Partner Program Guide, a list of leading technology vendors with cloud-related partner programs that enable and accelerate the growth of solution providers' cloud initiatives.

“Avnet delivers high-performance, secure, reliable and scalable cloud solutions for all workloads that help solve today’s business-to-business cloud computing challenges.”

The CRN 2015 Cloud Computing Partner Program Guide provides a valuable resource for solution providers to navigate the booming cloud marketplace by identifying technology suppliers that offer innovative cloud solutions and partner programs. To qualify for participation in the Cloud Partner Program Guide, technology vendors must have a unique set of partner program benefits for solution providers that deliver cloud infrastructure or applications.

Avnet Cloud Solutions helps partners go to market with cost-effective, flexible and reliable solutions that meet their customers’ expectations for high-performance cloud infrastructure and highly differentiated cloud management. Partners receive access to the Avnet Cloud Toolset (ACT) to help them efficiently manage, govern, consolidate and track their customers’ cloud accounts across multiple cloud providers. ACT features cloud usage tracking and invoicing for both consumption- and subscription-based workloads and across all cloud infrastructures – public, private and hybrid.

“This recognition from CRN reflects the value of the Avnet Cloud Solutions portfolio to our partners, as well as the ability of these Avnet partners to deliver essential cloud IT services that help their customers enhance business agility and improve time to market,” said Tim FitzGerald, vice president of Avnet’s cloud solutions business in the Americas. “Avnet delivers high-performance, secure, reliable and scalable cloud solutions for all workloads that help solve today’s business-to-business cloud computing challenges.”

“Each cloud provider and vendor in the Cloud Partner Program Guide was selected by CRN editors for putting forth substantive cloud partner programs that demonstrate a real buy-in and support of the channel community,” says Robert Faletra, CEO of The Channel Company. “With the pace of change and fierce competition in the growing cloud market, it’s imperative that a solution provider finds vendor partners capable of giving them consistent, tangible support to grow their cloud-related revenue. The CRN 2015 Cloud Partner Program Guide helps them find those partners that are right for their business.”

The Cloud Partner Program Guide will be featured in the October issue of CRN and can be viewed online at www.crn.com. By combining the Cloud Partner Program Guide with The Channel Company’s upcoming NexGen Cloud Conference & Expo, solution providers have access to the most relevant and up-to-date information available to accelerate their cloud strategies and solutions.
