According to the CRN Emerging Tech Survey, the top reasons
solution providers add emerging technologies include, the technology
is superior to other products in the market segment; the technology
complements a solution providers' existing practice areas; emerging
vendors provide better services opportunities; emerging vendors pay
better attention to partners; emerging vendors offer higher margins,
customers want alternative product choices; and emerging vendors have
better joint marketing programs. In addition, 61 percent of solutions
providers surveyed plan to increase the number of emerging technology
vendors they partner with in the next 12 months.

"New and innovative vendor partners can help spur profitable new
ideas that Solution Providers can use to build revenue and customer
loyalty, and the CRN Emerging Tech list is where Solution Providers go
to find these vendors," said Robert C. Demarzo, senior vice president
and editorial director, Everything Channel editorial.

Vendors who make the CRN Emerging Tech list must have an
established solution provider program and formal guidelines for
recruiting channel partners. They must demonstrate that its direct
sales mix is trending down as evidenced by the company's revenue
history, a channel positive or channel neutral strategy for internal
sales compensation, and not be a dominant market share player. Final
selection to the Emerging Technology list was made at the discretion
of the CRN editorial team after a review of the submitted information
and conversations with current or targeted partners.

"We are very pleased to be chosen as an Emerging Vendor by CRN,
which recognizes our commitment to the success of our channel
partners," said Michael Zhao, President and CEO of Array Networks. "We
are dedicated to further advancing our secure access technologies to
provide customers and channel partners with the most secure, scalable
and highest performing SSL VPN products on the market."
