Esteem Systems Rewarded For Record Growth In Network Appliance Sales
1st December 2006
Esteem Systems, one of the UK’s leading IT service providers, has become one of Network Appliance’s (NetApp’s) fastest growing partners, after recording more than £1 million worth of sales in the last six months.
In recognition of this rapid growth, which represented a three fold increase on sales in the previous half year, Esteem has been promoted by NetApp, one of the world’s fastest growing IT storage companies, to Platinum Partner status. This new status will mean Esteem is more closely aligned with NetApp and will enhance the delivery of services and solutions to customers.
NetApp is a world leader in unified storage solutions and provides a wide range of products and services for today’s data-intensive organisations.
Peter Rawden, UK Channel Director for NetApp said: “We have been impressed by the way Esteem works. Their understanding of customers’ needs has meant they have become one of our fastest growing partners in the UK. Our worldwide sales have risen significantly in recent years, and we would like to take this opportunity to recongnise Esteem for their significant contribution to this success.”
Esteem first formed a partnership with Network Appliance at the beginning of 2006 and has seen a sharp growth in the demand for NetApp technology since that time. Recent customers include Nottingham Building Society, Cumberland Building Society and the University of York.
Esteem’s Commercial Director, Alastair Kitching said: “It’s fantastic that NetApp has rewarded our hard work in this way. The services and solutions we provide to our customers are underpinned by the best technology and NetApp’s storage solutions fit perfectly with this philosophy.
“We were anticipating significant growth when we first became a NetApp partner, but not necessarily on this scale.”
