Solarflare Establishes VAR Partnership With Torrey Point Group
Leading 10 Gigabit Ethernet Solutions Provider Increases Its Ability to Reach and Service Customers Worldwide Through an Enhanced Channel
Solarflare now has a reseller agreement with Torrey Point Group, LLC, a leading network architecture consultancy that provides customers with design, implementation and support for their next-generation networks. Torrey Point Group will help increase Solarflare's ability to further reach customers in the financial, high-performance computing (HPC), cloud computing and server virtualization markets in the US. Through its new partnership, Solarflare will be able to better pursue trading firms, who need to build low-latency network clusters, and data center managers wanting to improve I/O in their server virtualization infrastructures.
"We continue to build strong partnerships with resellers that focus on network integration best practices, helping us capture a larger share of the 10GbE server adapter market, locate valuable customers worldwide and further grow our revenue," said Mike Smith, vice president and general manager of host solutions at Solarflare. "We are happy to begin a new long-term strategic relationship with Torrey Point, which will not only extend our customer reach but ensure we are providing the best value and service."
Torrey Point's core competencies include design and implementation of data center infrastructures, low-latency switching for trading, service provider networks, network management, core routing, large campus and enterprise networks, wireless and advanced security services.
"More and more of our customers are looking for data center and high-speed networking solutions, and Solarflare can provide us the performance we require to meet these new demands," said Steve Fazio, CEO of Torrey Point. "This partnership with Solarflare is key in helping us reach an important and influential segment of end customers and IT buyers."
First launched in September 2010, Solarflare's VAR program provides channel partners with the resources required to generate and close new business at an accelerated pace. The tiered program offers VARs a unique combination of features and benefits based on their primary business needs to help them gain a clear market advantage. Divided into three categories, Platinum, Gold and Silver, these partners can quote and purchase through Solarflare's two-tiered distribution channel, and receive direct support from the company's technical support and sales channel teams.
Solarflare's SFN5000 line of 10GbE server adapters delivers the industry's highest-performance, lowest-power solutions on both 10GBASE-T for installed twisted pair copper cabling and SFP+ for installed optical fiber. Due to its hardware-assisted support for virtualization, Solarflare's 10GbE adapters deliver up to five times the application performance of other server adapters by accelerating virtual I/O for Citrix XenServer, Microsoft Hyper V and VMware. Solarflare adapters also possess the industry's most scalable virtualization architecture.
