Buffalo Americas Wins Eighth Consecutive CRN Annual Report Card Award for 2024

Austin, TX, August 12, 2024 — Buffalo Americas, Inc., is proud to accept our eighth consecutive CRN Annual Report Card (ARC) win in the SMB External Storage category from CRN®, a brand of The Channel Company. This award honors technology vendors for providing best-in-class products and partner program resources and support.

“Buffalo would like to thank our valued channel partners' ongoing recognition of Buffalo’s commitment to an organization with a strong 'channel first' philosophy,” says Kazuaki Mano, CEO of Buffalo Americas, Inc.

“Buffalo has continued to deliver success for our channel partners in 2024, especially with our flagship product, TeraStation 71210RH," says Bill Rhodes, Buffalo’s Director of Channel Sales. "Winner of CRN’s 2023 Product of the Year, TS71210RH offers enterprise-level performance and has been delivering a winning solution as a SAN/server storage alternative for such uses as hyper-converged expansion, add-on virtualization storage, archival video surveillance, and mitigating escalating cloud costs.”

Among the most prestigious honors in the IT industry, CRN’s ARC awards are based on solution providers' evaluations of technology vendors’ efforts to design channel-friendly product offerings, develop high-value partner benefits, and foster long-term, successful partnerships.

The Annual Report Card (ARC) is a legacy partner perception study conducted by The Channel Company. It provides vendors with valuable feedback based on thousands of survey responses from solution providers across North America, collected over a six-week period ending in July 2024.

The ARC Awards highlight the top-performing vendors in one or more of the 27 technology product categories or four subcategories: product innovation, support, partnership, and managed and cloud services.

Survey participants rated 58 vendor partners across 27 technology product categories, evaluating satisfaction levels in four main subcategories and 22 criteria, including GenAI, ease of integration, marketing support, and partner communication.

"We’re thrilled to recognize technology vendors who partners have selected as the gold standard for products, services, and programs that support solution provider success in the channel,” said Jennifer Follett, VP, U.S. Content, and Executive Editor, CRN, The Channel Company. “The winners of this year’s CRN Annual Report Card Awards demonstrate continuous dedication to building strong partnerships and delivering long-term value and opportunity for their solution provider partners. Congratulations to all the winners for this notable achievement and unwavering commitment to excellence.”

Winners will be featured throughout The Channel Company’s XChange August 2024 conference being held August 11–13 in San Antonio, Texas. Coverage of the CRN 2024 ARC winners can be found online at www.CRN.com/ARC, and full results will be featured in the October 2024 issue of CRN Magazine.
