Avnet Services said that it had become an accredited Veeam authorised education centre.
That will allow it to introduce a training programme in the UK, France, the Netherlands, Denmark, Italy and Spain.
The idea is to let its reseller partners become trained in Veeam software products. Veeam specialises in providing backup virtualisation management.
Rene Albert, director of education at Avnet Services EMEA said that the partnership will extend his company’s education portfolio just as the virtualisation market is showing increased growth.
And Daniel Fried, MD at Veeam said that the new training and certification programmes with let channel and end users take advantage of demand for data protection built for virtualisation.
