—Raritan’s Partner Advantage Program recognized as exceptional by leading channel authority—

SOMERSET, N.J., April, 2011 – Raritan was awarded a 5-Star Partner rating from CRN for the fourth consecutive year, and has been named to CRN’s 2011 Partner Programs Guide.  The annual list recognizes the vendors who offer solution providers the best possible partnering elements for channel success.

“It is an honor to have Raritan’s Partner Advantage Program recognized once again by CRN,” said Gary Marks, Senior Vice President of Global Sales and Marketing at Raritan.  “This recognition is a testament to our superb partners, the Partner Advantage team and forward-thinking customers.  Together we have created great momentum in the data center energy and power management space.” 

Recognized for constant innovation to advance more efficient data centers, Raritan’s integrated portfolio of data center infrastructure management solutions address today’s data center challenges—including energy, power, capacity, cooling and asset management—so that IT resources can be used more efficiently and be managed effectively in order to deliver business value. 

“The companies listed on the 2011 Partner Programs Guide represent the best channel programs in the market today.  Of those, only a few get our five-star award, based on their commitment to the channel, breadth of program offerings and services offered to their partners.  Each of these organizations understands that technology alone does not make for a successful channel program.  By focusing on delivering a comprehensive partner program, vendors and solution providers can work together to drive business opportunities and revenue,” said Kelley Damore, VP and Editorial Director, for Everything Channel’s CRN.
