Columbus, Ohio [August 20, 2023] — Vertiv (NYSE: VRT), a global provider of critical digital infrastructure and continuity solutions, today announced that CRN®, a brand of The Channel Company, has named it as the winner in the Power Protection and Management category of the 2023 CRN Annual Report Card (ARC) Awards, with Vertiv also leading in all related subcategories. Powered by groundbreaking products, services, and partner programs, this award recognizes the industry's top technology vendors.
As a 38-year-old tradition known to be one of the most prestigious honors in the IT industry, CRN's ARC Awards honor best-in-class vendors committed to growing the IT channel through technology innovation and partner relations. Solution providers give feedback recognizing technology manufacturers' efforts to design channel-friendly product offerings, develop strong partner programs, and develop long-term successful relationships with them.
Vertiv was awarded top honors for the Power Protection and Management category and all relevant subcategories: Product Innovation, Support, Partnership, and Managed & Cloud Services. Ratings were based on a wide range of Vertiv™ Liebert® lithium-ion and VRLA uninterruptible power supply (UPS) systems, Vertiv™ Geist™ UPDU rack power distribution, power monitoring and management software, engineer support, Partner Portal tools and deal registration, MDF and marketing activities, and Vertiv’s monitoring software and services.
“Vertiv would like to thank CRN and the solution providers who recognize the hard work we put into our channel program and power portfolio. We are listening to our channel partners and are committed to delivering a go-to-market strategy aligned with our channel partners’ interests,” said Pete Klanian, senior vice president of North America sales for Vertiv. “We will continue to pursue innovations to position us as a top provider.”
ARC Awards are based on research conducted by The Channel Company with an invitation-only survey. In this year's survey, 3,300 solution providers across North America rated 68 vendor partners on four criteria: product innovation, support, partnership, and managed cloud services. In a technology area critical to channel partner success, scores were awarded in 25 major product categories.
"It’s an honor to recognize these vendors that regularly deliver industry-leading products and services to further successful channel partner relationships,” said Blaine Raddon, CEO, The Channel Company. “In addition to showcasing our winners, CRN's Annual Report Card Awards give vendors useful input and insight into how they stand with partners that can be implemented into their channel strategies going forward. We are excited to offer our congratulations to all the award recipients in person at XChange 2023 in August.”
Winners will be featured throughout The Channel Company’s XChange 2023 conference, taking place August 20-22 in Nashville, TN. Coverage of the CRN 2023 ARC results can be found online at www.CRN.com/ARC and will be featured in the October 2023 issue of CRN Magazine.
