StorMagic, simplifying on-site virtualisation, announced its new three-tiered global channel partner programme, designed to help partners grow revenue and deliver flexible, reliable virtualisation solutions for on-site applications and data.
Built for value-added resellers, VARs, distributors, original equipment manufacturers, systems integrators, agents and technical alliance partners, the enhanced programme offers expanded benefits, sales tools and flexibility to meet customers’ needs – especially as they seek alternatives to the Broadcom, VMware lock-in.
Programme participants can now deliver solutions that run on existing hardware, support high availability on two nodes, and reduce CapEx and OpEx – all while unlocking new margin potential and earning partner rewards.
The StorMagic Channel Partner Programme features a three-tier structure for VARs and distributors:
Platinum Partners – Receive StorMagic’s highest discounts, including renewals, access to SPIFFs and MDF, deal registration, partner directory listings, co-branded campaigns, technical and sales training and exclusive promotions.

Gold Partners – Benefit from significant discounts, access to MDF and SPIFFs, deal registration, training, marketing toolkits and participation in co-branded programmes. In addition, Gold partners receive all benefits available to Authorised Partners.
Authorised Partners – Primarily responsible for order fulfilment following sales and technical training. These partners gain access to discounts, including renewals, sales and marketing assets, partner directory inclusion and the ability to conduct customer transactions directly through the StorMagic Partner Portal.
OEMs, SIs, agents and technical alliance partners are required to complete sales and, or technical certifications, and will receive various benefits including finder’s fees, co-marketing and co-selling programmes with assets and partner directory inclusion. Benefits vary based on partner type.
