The engineered solutions are built on pre-defined configurations from the HPE’s premium Apollo and ProLiant server product lines, combined with WekaIO Software creating an appliance-like experience.

“It’s an honor to award partners who have excelled in developing their partnerships with HPE and grown mutual business opportunities with collaborative solutions for our joint customers,” said Paul Hunter, senior vice president of worldwide partner sales, HPE. “HPE is committed to innovating new solutions and enabling mutual growth together with our partners and our awards recognize the partnerships, collaborations and successes of our top performing partners.”
