WOBURN, MA--(Marketwire - March 29, 2010) - Cyberoam (www.cyberoam.com), a leading provider of identity-based Unified Threat Management (UTM) security appliances, today announced it has been recognized by Everything Channel as one of North America's top information technology (IT) vendors for its Partner program. Additionally, the Cyberoam Partner program was recognized with a five-star rating representative of an exceptional program.
The Cyberoam Partner program was awarded a Five-Star recognition in the midsize category in Everything Channel's 16th annual 2010 Partner Program Guide (PPG), acknowledging its commitment and strength of its programs for reseller partners, which include IT integrators, technology solution providers and consultants.
With more than 1,000 partners worldwide, Cyberoam Partners focus on the SMB, education, healthcare and financial services. Typical program participants among Silver, Gold and Platinum partner tiers can realize between 30-40 percent profit margins.
Says Alex Quinonez, Cyberoam Vice President, Americas, "We have made great efforts to make our partner program world class and now our partners are reaping the benefits." In February, Quinonez was selected as a CRN "Channel Chief," honored for creating effective channel programs for solution providers.
Every partner is eligible to receive a free Cyberoam unified threat management (UTM) demo appliance, live 24/7 telephone support and opportunities to become a Strategic Partner with promises of higher margins.

Research for the 2010 Everything Channel Partner Program Guide and the Five-Star Partner Program rating was conducted by Everything Channel's research department. Everything Channel analyzed 130 vendor programs rating vendors' responses to in-depth questions about their partner programs in the five elements of sales support, partner profitability, partner ecosystem development/management, partner communication/marketing, and demand generation.
To ensure fair comparisons, companies were placed in one of four categories based on company size (Enterprise, Midsize, Small and Emerging). Questions from each section were scored individually and weighted appropriately. The 5-Star Partner Program rating recognizes the elite subset of Partner Program Guide vendors who give solution providers the best partnering elements in their channel programs. The 5-Star rating is bestowed on programs whose overall rating is among the elite based on company size.
"We are pleased to deliver to the Channel an exclusive list of the leading vendor channel programs with details about key technologies, program opportunities, and information on the hottest new program offerings," said Kelley Damore, VP, Editorial Director, Everything Channel. "The quality of a technology vendor's partner program determines how profitable its partners will be. For their commitment to their business partners and their efforts to build quality programs, we congratulate those recognized as this year's Five-Star Partner Program winners for helping to drive greater revenue in the channel."
The PPG list and those companies recognized as five-star will appear in the March 29 issue of CRN magazine and online at www.Channelweb.com.
