NetApp appoints ViFX as its Certified Delivery Partner

The NetApp Certified Delivery Partner (CDP) program provides customers with NetApp solutions and services via value-added partners who have been trained through NetApp.

According to Scott Morris, director of channels for NetApp A/NZ storage services is an area that needs a highly specialised focus.

“We appointed ViFX as our first CDP in New Zealand, because the ViFX team has the specific skills and knowledge to help our customers solve their technology challenges, particularly in the virtualisation space,” he said.

ViFX will engage with NetApp channel partners when the partner is selling NetApp services to a customer.

ViFX employs specialists in virtualisation and data centres who can engage at several levels, from assessment of the customer’s storage network requirements, through the design phase and implementation to completion of the project.

Derek Leitch, director for ViFX, said the company prides itself on being a centre of excellence for the delivery of storage and virtualisation technology services.

“We are dedicated to becoming an extension of the NetApp business in New Zealand and working with customers and channel partners to solve business issues,” he said.

Also working as a CDP for services for NetApp in New Zealand is Diversus Group, a NetApp services delivery specialist, which is based out of NetApp’s Australian offices.
