Honored as the Top Vendor in the Enterprise Network Storage Category; Study Is Premier Resource to Evaluate Channel Vendors and Programs
SUNNYVALE, Calif.-March 21, 2011-NetApp (NASDAQ: NTAP) today announced that it was named a 2011 CRN Channel Champion in the Enterprise Network Storage category. It also received top honors in three out of four individual categories at an awards ceremony held at the XChange Solution Provider conference. CRN Channel Champions are awarded in 25 technology categories; selections are based on surveys conducted with top solution providers.
The CRN Channel Champions study measures overall solution provider perceptions of vendor products and services. Solution providers were asked to evaluate the importance of partner technology, support, and financial criteria in the channel. They were then asked to rate vendor performance in these areas, based on their perceived importance. CRN Channel Champion awards are based on these survey results. Awards are distributed in 25 technology fields and in four categories: Technical Satisfaction, Support Satisfaction, Financial Factors, and Overall Champion.

Last month, the CRN editorial staff selected Julie Parrish, vice president of Global Partner Sales; Todd Palmer, vice president of Americas Channels; and David Drahozal, director of Channel Sales for the U.S. Public Sector, as Channel Chiefs. They were selected for their leadership and execution of successful channel partner programs and strategies.
