As part of the deal, Promark will promote Panasas’ ActiveStor product line to its network of value-added resellers. Also, as part of the Panasas Accelerate Program’s “Sky’s the Limit” policy, Panasas will award a five-percent rebate to all VARs for new end-user account deals they close. Overall, this agreement provides attractive margins to partners as well as the necessary support and demand-generation capabilities to accelerate the companies’ mutual business.

“Our customers are seeing massive growth in unstructured data. To manage it, they look for solutions that deliver top-tier performance but are simple to use and highly reliable,” said Dale Foster, general manager and executive director of Promark Technology. “Panasas’ ActiveStor technology answers the call, will bolster our product portfolio and bring us new opportunities.”
