Nine Technology Earns Accolade for Channel-Centric Products

Nine Technology, a leading developer of online backup and recovery solutions for channel partners, announced today that it was named by Everything Channel as one of CRN’s Emerging Technology Vendors for 2011. This recognition features the technology vendors that exhibit superior channel compatibility and commitment, and who enable their partners to generate revenue.

Powered By Nine®, Nine Technology’s flagship online backup and recovery solution, gives managed service providers (MSPs), value-added resellers (VARs) and data center managers an unparalleled opportunity to boost their revenue with a top-of-the-line data protection service. Now sold as a software-only solution through Powered By Nine® Platform, Nine Technology is actively seeking partners interested in hosting a server architecture.

Since its inception in April 2010, Nine Technology has accrued nearly 200 channel partners on three continents in the Nine Technology Partner Program. These partners enjoy the support of Nine Technology’s marketing, sales and technical support teams as they sell the Powered By Nine® solutions to their customers.

“From the start, Nine Technology has devoted its efforts to serving the channel,” said Tom Gelson, CEO of Nine Technology. “Our nomination as an emerging vendor in the field notes our continued success in working with and through the channel to promote Powered By Nine®.”

“Enabling customers with the tools and strategies to solve real business problems has always been a priority to solution providers. The market has grown increasingly competitive over the years; so too has the demand for innovative, channel-friendly technologies.” said Kelley Damore, VP, Editorial Director, Everything Channel. “From the cloud to semantic technology, this year’s list of Emerging Technology Vendors highlights the emphasis on innovation and ease of use that has been the hallmark of any successful channel offering.”

The companies chosen for the list met several criteria, including being founded within the last 6 years, annual revenue under $1 billion, and an active channel program. Final selection to the list was conducted by the CRN editorial team.
