DataStor Distributing Paragon Software

Now being rolled out in the Australian market through DataStor, Pure Channel delivers 30% protected margins to resellers and addresses the key points of pain SMBs face with data protection and backup and DR.

As a 100% channel company, Paragon has aligned with DataStor based on its reputation for providing resellers with value-added services and expertise in pre-sales and technical support, according to Tom Fedro, president, Paragon.

“DataStor is the ideal distribution partner for Paragon Software, the Pure Channel Program and our Paragon Protect & Restore (PPR) BDR offering,” said Fedro. “Their reputation for service excellence and channel enablement, along with their ability to drive a ROI, is second to none, and we look forward to working with them to help fuel success for our mutual resellers and SMB customers across Australia.”

The Pure Channel Program is built around the PPR solution, which is optimized for SMBs with a focus on ease of use and ease of implementation, while also protecting data spanning physical, virtual and hybrid server environments. Earlier this year, Paragon announced that PPR earned a 9.83 out of 10 points possible in TopTenReview’s 2014 ranking of Best Server Backup Software. In addition, PPR tied with a brand to capture the top spot in the professional support category, while also earning the highest possible ratings across three other server backup software categories including recovery and restoration, management tools and resource management.

“Backed by the power of PPR, Pure Channel offers our reseller partners a new and refreshing approach to BDR sales, with simplified and streamlined sales cycles and a proven method for helping them achieve profitable growth,” said John Couvaras, MD, DataStor. “We’re proud to serve as a catalyst for Paragon in the Australian market and we look forward to a strong and growing relationship.”

Since the Pure Channel Program launched in the US earlier this year, deal registration is exceeding expectations, and Paragon expects high levels of success in Australia. Pure Channel features a high-impact ‘Pure Profit’ strategy grounded in what Paragon calls ‘POP’ (Paragon Opportunity Protection), which eliminates minimum revenue and tech training requirements, guarantees 30% margin protection and streamlines sales cycles with fast online deal registration and transaction processes. In addition, unlike traditional, multi-tiered partner programs, with Pure Channel, resellers and MSPs can opt into one of only two Pure Channel partner levels: Pure Platinum or Pure Gold
