i365 Inc., a Seagate Company (NASDAQ:STX), today announced that President and General Manager Terry Cunningham has been named a Channel Chief by Everything Channel’s CRN. Channel Chiefs are leaders in creating effective channel programs for IT solution providers. They consistently defend, promote and execute effective channel partner programs and strategies.

Under Cunningham’s leadership, i365 significantly enhanced the EVault Partner Program to accelerate channel profitability and launched the EVault Cloud-Connected Service Provider (CCSP) program. The EVault CCSP program is the first of its kind to give the channel community a way to build a profitable cloud storage business and quickly generate a recurring revenue stream while eliminating the high costs, high risks and long learning curves that come with developing a hosting infrastructure. The breakthrough model creates a new level of collaboration between Cloud technology vendors and the channel. Since its launch in mid-November 2010, many partners have joined the EVault CCSP program to create a new recurring revenue stream selling Cloud backup services powered by EVault.

This year’s Channel Chiefs were chosen by the CRN Editorial staff. Applicants were judged based on policy and program innovations made during the past year, the amount of revenue their company generates through partners, their willingness to speak out publicly on behalf of the channel, and the number of years they have dedicated to channel activities.

“It’s an honor to be named a Channel Chief by Everything Channel’s CRN,” said Cunningham. “I think it’s a testament to the value we place on the relationships we have with our partners. Those relationships are vital to the success of our business, and we are committed to maintaining and growing those bonds by providing trusted, dependable Cloud-Connected backup and recovery products for the channel.”

“Being named a Channel Chief is one of the most prestigious honors in the IT industry. This year’s Channel Chiefs offer tremendous insight into the who’s who of the Channel,” said Kelley Damore, VP, Editorial Director, Everything Channel. “Top channel executives consistently ensure that the Channel’s voice is heard when strategic decisions are being made and continually nurture mutually profitable relationships. We applaud this year’s Channel Chiefs for their successful partner programs and strategies.”
