BURLINGTON, Mass., June 29, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Unitrends, a leader in enterprise-level cloud-empowered business continuity solutions, today announced its 2016 Partner of the Year award winners. Unitrends understands that in today's digital world, protecting ideas and keeping customers' businesses running is non-negotiable. Now in its second year and coming on the heels of Unitrends' newly launched partner program, the annual awards recognize partners who consistently demonstrate excellence in delivering on their customers' continuity needs and in driving exceptional business results.

This year, Unitrends added two new categories: Cloud Partner of the Year and Rising Star. Cloud category winners, in particular, were key contributors to Unitrends’ impressive 250 percent year-over-year growth in cloud-based solution deployments. The winners of the Rising Stars category represent new partners that made a big impact during their first year partnering with Unitrends. In total, Unitrends honors 10 partners for their achievements across various categories, both globally and regionally.

"The Unitrends Partner of the Year Awards showcase those partners and resellers who have leveraged Unitrends' Connected Continuity Platform to address their customers' end-to-end protection needs," said Dante Gordon, Senior Director of Channel Marketing at Unitrends. "Selecting this year's winners was particularly challenging, as we have more than 3,000 partners from 70 different countries. However, the winners were truly exceptional, and their accomplishments should be viewed as examples of excellence, as each recipient has contributed significantly to helping organizations reduce risk and create better processes and systems to protect an organization's business and IT assets."
