For the Third Year in a Row, CTERA is Recognized for its Leading Cloud Storage Enablement Solutions
Petach Tikva, Israel, August 27, 2012 – CTERA Networks, the leader in cloud storage enablement, today announced it has been selected by UBM Channel and CRN as a 2012 Emerging Technology Vendor. The annual list features the most innovative vendors who not only deliver technology that is easy to use, but can generate the high margins solution providers require. The vendors that make up the CRN Emerging Technology Vendor list were founded in 2006 or later, have revenue under $1 billion and have an active U.S. channel strategy.
Among these Emerging Vendors are companies that have already established themselves in their market segment and others that are already making an impact despite a recent launch. Each organization on the list represents a new partnership and go-to-market opportunity for solution providers looking to identify new vendor partners. As the demand for cloud storage and collaboration continues to explode from organizations of all sizes, CTERA has emerged as a leader in the market. Its hybrid solution, which is ideal for SMBs and enterprise branch and remote offices (ROBO), combines secure cloud storage services with on-premise storage appliances, managed end-point agents and a mobile app for a seamless user experience. CTERA enables managed service providers and enterprises to deliver an all-in-one suite of cloud storage services including backup, file sharing, cloud on-ramping and mobile collaboration. Purpose-built for the channel and with a 100% channel-sales model, CTERA provides the most flexible and scalable cloud storage solution in the industry, capable of centrally managing thousands of gateways and end-point agents, and connecting to a wide array of public and private cloud storage infrastructures. The company’s channel-friendly architectures empowers resellers to provide their own branded cloud storage services with no need to invest in datacenter infrastructure, easing their transition into cloud services.

“Emerging doesn’t mean what it used to,” said Kelley Damore, VP, Editorial Director, UBM Channel. “And this collection of up-and-comers and new-to-the-game vendors is on an upward trajectory that a host of young companies that preceded them could barely imagine. With new innovations like cloud computing and virtualization speeding up the pace of innovation, and technology mainstays like storage and networking branching off into new directions, this list encapsulates a tectonic technology shift where the recently founded are starting to rule the roost and become household names much more quickly than in the past. We congratulate each vendor on the list and congratulate them for placing an emphasis on innovation and ease of use, features that are the hallmark of any successful channel offering.”
Final selection to the Emerging Technology Vendor list was made by the CRN editorial team after a review of submitted information. To view a sample of the list and read the editorial accompaniment visit www.CRN.com.
