APC launches ‘partner’ program for vendors

WEST KINGSTON – American Power Conversion this month launched the APC Technology Partner Program, an initiative to enable key vendors to formally partner with APC to come up with innovative solutions to meet their mutual customers’ needs.
The program provides standardized processes and resources for creating and supporting interoperability.
“Vendor interoperability is a critical issue for IT managers, particularly as operating efficiency and costs become higher profile issues,” said Ted Ives, APC’s director of technology partnerships.
“Our customers are demanding increased interoperability between APC’s physical layer solutions and other key components of the data center.
APC’s Technology Partner Program invites vendors of complementary technologies interested in achieving higher levels of availability and lower levels of energy consumption in the data center to deliver comprehensive solutions to our mutual customers.”
The program already includes Cisco, Microsoft, Red Hat, Neon Software, Network Appliance and other companies.
