SANTA CLARA, Calif., April 16, 2018 -- Datera, Inc., the leading provider of application-driven data services for enterprises and clouds, announced today that CRN_®, a brand of The Channel Company, has named Datera to its 2018 Software-Defined Data Center 50 list.

The list recognizes companies that are teaming with solution providers to provide dramatic advances in data center compute, storage and network automation and intelligence. The 2018 Software-Defined Data Center 50 is based on ongoing feedback throughout the year from solution providers on the strength of the vendors’ technology portfolio, channel influence, effectiveness and visibility, along with business and sales impact on the channel.

Combining the industry’s only SLO-based data services architecture, future-proof extensibility and a game-changing price/performance spectrum, Datera delivers operations-free agility, enterprise-class performance and latency, with better-than-public-cloud economics.

“CRN’s 2018 Software-Defined Data Center 50 are being singled out for innovative software that is automating and simplifying compute, storage and networking," said Bob Skelley, CEO of The Channel Company. “These software-defined data center leaders are working hand in hand with partners to deliver intelligent applications and automate once-labor-intensive infrastructure management.
