Cloud Distribution Appointed as Distributor in Expansion Plan for the UK
MALTA & READING, UK., Oct 16, 2018 – Altaro, one of the world’s fastest growing suppliers of virtual backup solutions, today announced of the appointment of a new distributor in the UK, Cloud Distribution, the next-generation ‘Cloud First’ distributor specializing in innovative and disruptive cyber security, networking and data centre solutions.
“Our partners are currently experiencing their greatest growth with on-premise, hybrid and cloud-first models,” noted Colin Wright, VP EMEA, Altaro. “Our traditional license sales of Altaro VM Backup continue to boom, thanks to the excellent value we provide, and we are also seeing that the market is becoming increasingly interested in our mixed or managed monthly Backup-as-a-Service subscription services.”
He added, “We have selected Cloud Distribution as the only UK VAD that are set up with hybrid partner servicing in mind. They are disruptive and that’s a good strategy in a market that sometimes defaults to traditional vendors who can be expensive and slow to respond.”
Cloud Distribution will be leveraging its partner enablement tools to support pipeline growth for its current and new partners. To complement these tools, Cloud has invested in a dedicated backup sales team that can leverage the Cloud Altitude marketing program and assist partners in Altaro lead generation activities, customer meetings, support demos and SE support.
Altaro CEO and co-founder, David Vella said, “We are happy to welcome Cloud Distribution to the Altaro family. Their appointment will add momentum to our activities in this key territory and help us enhance and expand our outreach and services.”
