RELDATA Inc. (reldata.com), a provider of unified block and file storage solutions over iSCSI, has announced it has been named a 2010 Company to Watch by Computer Dealer News (CDN). Each year, CDN's editorial team searches for the best up-and-coming vendors and solution providers and RELDATA has been recognized for its innovative unified storage solutions, commercial success and a rapidly growing channel program that supports profitable growth for its VAR and distribution partners.

"RELDATA's transition to a 100 per cent channel strategy was remarkable to see in 2009. The company is embarking on providing its channel with aggressive incentives along with co-funded demand generation and marketing programs for 2010. RELDATA is also looking to add new channel partners in Canada this year. This go-to-market plan makes the unified storage solutions vendor a company to watch out for this year," said Paolo Del Nibletto, editor, CDN - Computer Dealer News, Canada's No. 1 IT channel publication and Web site.

RELDATA offers comprehensive unified storage solutions that cost-effectively enable mid-size and distributed enterprises to consolidate, virtualize and protect data storage. Unlike proprietary siloed block and file-based products, the RELDATA unified storage solution has been built from the ground up based on an open, software-centric architecture that allows companies to improve the mobility and sharing of data between resources and users in a fluid and cost-effective manner and rapidly enhance disaster recovery and data availability service levels, while significantly reducing storage administration and licensing costs.

Recognition by Computer Dealer News is the latest accolades earned by RELDATA, which was also listed as a CRN Top 100 Cloud Computing Vendor for 2010 in January 2009, and an Emerging Technology Vendor by CRN in July 2009.

"RELDATA is honored to be recognized as one of CDN's Top Companies to Watch in 2010," said Steven Murphy, CEO of RELDATA. "We are committed to providing our partners and customers with purpose-built unified storage solutions that provide customers with the greatest value from their storage technology investments, and allows them to consolidate, virtualize and protect data storage while significantly reducing administration and licensing costs."
