Pax8 Honored as Coolest Cloud Vendor by CRN®

DENVER, Feb. 01, 2017 -- Pax8, the leading value-added cloud distributor, today announced that CRN_®, a brand of The Channel Company, has named the company to its 100 Coolest Cloud Computing Vendors of 2017 list. This annual lineup recognizes the most innovative cloud technology suppliers in each of five categories: infrastructure, platforms and development, security, storage, and software.

“It is an honor to be named one of CRN’s Coolest Cloud Vendors,” said Ryan Walsh, senior vice president of Partner Solutions at Pax8. “We are proactively listening, engaging, and building comprehensive partner programs to help solution providers navigate the changing IT landscape and capitalize on the shift to cloud. We remain committed to delivering the highest quality of enablement, cloud products, solutions, and support for our partners.”

The 100 Coolest Cloud Computing Vendors are selected by the CRN editorial team for their creativity and innovation in product development, the quality of their services and partner programs, and their demonstrated ability to help customers benefit from the ease of use, flexibility, scalability and budgetary savings that cloud computing offers.

In addition to recognizing cloud technology suppliers for outstanding products and services, 100 Coolest Cloud Computing Vendors serves as a valuable guide for solution providers trying to navigate the cloud market. The list aids prospective channel partners in identifying the vendors that can best help them improve or expand their cloud services.

“Cloud-based solutions are now a universal staple of IT services and an integral feature of solution providers’ portfolios,” said Robert Faletra, CEO at The Channel Company. “It is therefore more important than ever for solution providers to be able to find and choose the best, most capable cloud vendors to partner with. CRN’s annual list of the 100 Coolest Cloud Computing Vendors helps them identify and engage these expert suppliers in order to grow and strengthen their cloud businesses. Congratulations to all the vendors on our 2017 list, which have distinguished themselves in this extremely competitive and essential technology area.”
