Johannesburg, 15 Apr 2015
Datacentrix, a provider of high performing and secure ICT solutions, has scooped two prestigious awards from technology partner, Veeam Software, for both the coastal and Gauteng regions. The company is one of only three Veeam Platinum Partners in South Africa currently.
Named as the Veeam South Africa Fastest Growth partner for Gauteng, Datacentrix achieved the highest revenue across all sectors within the province, showing 22% year-on-year growth.
Says Lisa Strydom, channel manager lead at Veeam Software South Africa: "Datacentrix made exceptional progress over the past year, proving itself to be of great strategic value to Veeam across all sectors, but particularly within the enterprise space. This was of specific significance to Veeam as the enterprise sector has been a strong growth focus for us."
Datacentrix was also named as the winner of the Most Significant Project award for the coastal regions, with its KwaZulu-Natal branch taking this title for its involvement with the Durban-based KZN Department of Public Works. "This particular project was named as the most significant project of the year due to the integration of Veeam Backup & Replication with NetApp storage leveraging the Storage Snapshotting technology." Strydom explains. "The fact that this project was completed within the public sector was also a key influencing factor in our decision to present this award to Datacentrix."
"The extensive investment that Datacentrix has put into our partnership with Veeam is reaping the rewards," states Tony de Sousa, Datacentrix enterprise business unit manager. "We have focused heavily on upskilling our workforce, with the result that Datacentrix is now the highest accredited Veeam South Africa partner from a technical and sales point of view.
"Our invitation to join the Veeam Platinum Partner programme at the end of 2014 was a real coup for Datacentrix, as it highlighted the dedication and perseverance we have put into this relationship. The recent awards have added to this status, and are a real feather in the cap of the Datacentrix enterprise team."
"As a strategic Veeam solution provider, Datacentrix has proven that it has moved far beyond the realm of the 'box dropper', bringing immense value to our local customers," adds Strydom. "We see a great deal of potential moving into the future with this partnership, and are currently investigating further opportunities in the DPaaS (data protection as a service) and hybrid cloud technology space."
