** Main Story**
Arctera Fuels Partner Growth with New FY26 Channel Program
In a strategic move, Arctera has launched its FY26 Channel Partner Program, and honestly, it looks pretty solid. This comprehensive initiative offers enhanced rewards and resources, all neatly aligned with Arctera’s three core business units: data compliance, data resilience, and data protection. This program, Arctera’s first full-year initiative since its December 2024 spin-off from Veritas Technologies, signals a renewed focus on both growth and, importantly, partner enablement. You know, it’s all about that partner ecosystem these days.
Aligning with Arctera’s Business Units
The FY26 program introduces some key benefits, all designed to drive partner success. These include enhanced deal registration, featuring incentives structured around market opportunities within each business unit. Arctera’s got a good handle on this, recognizing the unique dynamics of each sector. They’re offering growth-targeted incentives aligned to specific sector characteristics and growth rates. Plus, there are dedicated partner development funds. These are allocated separately for each business unit, offering financial, marketing, and even training resources to support partners’ expansion efforts. Smart move, if you ask me.
Empowering Partners for Mutual Success
Michael Gray, VP of channels and alliances at Arctera, stressed the company’s commitment to collaborative growth. He says, “Our focus is encouraging our partners to target the biggest areas of potential growth for each of our three business units.” And you know what, that makes sense. Arctera believes that by combining its industry insights and those market-leading products with partners’ established relationships and their technical expertise, they can deliver unparalleled value to their joint customers. It’s a win-win, really.
Expanding on Previous Successes
This FY26 program? It builds upon previous partner initiatives, extending deal registration benefits to partners reselling Backup Exec solutions from Arctera’s data protection business unit. Moreover, revenue thresholds will be tailored to each business unit, enabling partners to progress through tier levels and access optimal rewards based on their specific focus areas. It’s a tailored approach that recognizes the diverse strengths and specializations within Arctera’s partner network. They’re acknowledging, not all partners are created equal, or should be treated that way.
A Deeper Dive into Arctera’s Offerings
Beyond just the partner program, Arctera’s product portfolio offers a comprehensive suite of, yeah you guessed it, data management solutions. Arctera Backup Exec, for instance, provides advanced data protection with integrated cyber resilience across physical, virtual, and cloud environments. It simplifies backup and recovery processes, offering scalability and cost savings for businesses of all sizes. Arctera also offers System Recovery, a disk imaging solution that protects servers by taking snapshots of entire hard disks, enabling flexible recovery options. And for larger organizations, Arctera System Recovery Management Solution offers a centralized management console for administering multiple computers across various locations.
Arctera’s Commitment to Innovation
Arctera? It is dedicated to continuous innovation. The company is actively developing new features and capabilities for its products. Things like enhanced malware detection, centralized access management, and expanded support for various platforms, like Windows Server 2025 and NetApp environments. They also focus on providing valuable resources and support for their partners, empowering them to succeed in the ever-evolving data management landscape. This is essential for staying ahead, because let’s face it, the tech world moves fast!
The Future of Data Management with Arctera
As data continues to grow in complexity and, naturally, importance, Arctera is positioned as a leader in providing robust and innovative data management solutions. The FY26 Channel Partner Program? That’s a testament to the company’s commitment to its partners, empowering them with the tools, resources, and incentives they need to thrive in this dynamic market. I mean, what’s not to like? With its comprehensive product portfolio, dedicated partner program, and a clear focus on innovation, Arctera is poised to shape the future of data management. And frankly, it’s a future I’m keeping my eye on.
With incentives tailored to market opportunities in each business unit, how does Arctera ensure partners have adequate support to navigate the nuances and potential overlaps between data compliance, resilience, and protection solutions?
That’s a great question! Arctera is investing heavily in partner enablement resources, specifically designed to address the potential overlaps you mentioned. We’re providing specialized training and collaborative tools to help partners effectively navigate these nuances and deliver integrated solutions to our customers. Thanks for raising this important point!

Arctera’s spinning off from Veritas? Impressive! But with incentives tailored to *each* business unit, does that mean partners specializing in, say, data resilience get to wear cooler company swag than the data compliance folks? Asking for a friend… who *really* likes hoodies.
That’s hilarious! We’re definitely making sure the swag is equally awesome across all business units. Your friend can rest assured; we wouldn’t want anyone feeling left out. Maybe we need a partner swag design contest! Food for thought. Appreciate the laugh!

Tailored incentives for each business unit? Does this mean partners in Data Protection get first dibs on the latest AI tools, while those in Compliance have to make do with… spreadsheets? Asking for a friend who *really* hates spreadsheets.
That’s a funny thought! While access to specific AI tools might vary based on specialisation, we’re working to ensure all partners have access to cutting-edge resources to excel. Perhaps we can explore offering AI training modules suitable to all business units. Thanks for sparking this conversation!

The tailored incentives across business units are a smart move. It’s encouraging to see Arctera recognizing the unique dynamics of data compliance, resilience, and protection, and adjusting support accordingly. I wonder how the program will foster collaboration between partners specializing in different areas to deliver comprehensive solutions.
Thanks for your comment! We’re actively working on initiatives to enhance cross-collaboration. One idea we are considering is to host joint training sessions where partners from different specializations can share insights and best practices. This will enable them to collectively address complex client needs. Thoughts?

With deal registration benefits enhanced, I wonder how Arctera plans to measure and ensure equitable distribution of leads across the three business units, considering the varying market maturity and partner expertise in each area?
That’s a really important point! We’re exploring a tiered lead distribution model that factors in partner specialization and market maturity. It’s also important to us to continue collecting partner feedback on the effectiveness of the leads being distributed. We are constantly evolving to make it more equitable.

Tailored revenue thresholds? So, if my focus is data compliance, and I hit those targets, do I get a *compliance-themed* bonus? Like, a lifetime supply of disclaimers? Asking for a friend… who *really* loves paperwork.
That’s a creative idea! A “compliance-themed” bonus is definitely something to think about. Perhaps we can explore options such as sponsoring professional development courses. Do you think a certification in data privacy would be something your friend would like as a bonus?

Tailored incentives *and* dedicated development funds? Suddenly wishing my data was complex enough to warrant a comprehensive solution. Is there a “Most Chaotic Spreadsheet” award I can aim for?
Haha, love the enthusiasm! While we don’t have a “Most Chaotic Spreadsheet” award *yet*, perhaps we should consider it! In the meantime, even streamlined data can benefit from robust solutions. What specific data challenges are you facing currently?

The focus on tailored incentives is interesting. How does Arctera plan to help partners effectively communicate the value proposition of these distinct data solutions (compliance, resilience, protection) to clients who may not fully grasp the differences?
