Looking Back: November at intY
November 2017 will be one incredible month to remember as intY celebrates its 20th birthday. On 16th November, some of the team attended the CRN Awards as intY was a finalist for the Cloud Distributor of the Year category. It was an awesome night with awesome people. Then, this happened… We did it. We won Cloud Distributor of the Year at CRN. The one award we worked SO hard to win, we won… It goes without saying that we are truly honoured to have received this award and that this success is down to the hard work and dedication the intY team has put into the business, and also, our empowered and superb partners for their hard work, too. Craig Joseph COO at intY comments that, “Winning this prestigious award demonstrates clearly that we are providing our customers with the very best cloud solutions for their business, through dedicated customer support and training, we are succeeding in helping our channel partners and resellers to deliver value-added solutions. This is a clear indication and a reward for our team, who work hard to continue to develop our services with unparalleled cloud solutions. We also could not have won this award without our strong, deep partnerships with leading vendors such as Microsoft, Acronis and Symantec. Their support and commitment to our business has been incredibly strong over several years, and we look forward to continuing to develop this relationship, providing the channel market with the technology they need to implement innovative, robust cloud solutions for their customers.” Well done, team!

Microsoft UK's CTO builds relationship with intY
We’ve had a really busy month getting deep into Azure. The sheer amount you can do with that cloud space still amazes us. Franky, it’s inspiring, and we all need to jump in to get a healthy chunk of that marketspace. As you know, it’s growing rapidly… There’s no time to waste. So, we’ve had James Marshall, CTO Microsoft UK with us in the office, helping us understand Azure so that we can educate you. We’ve also hosted webinars with James where he talks through Azure exclusively for partners. Don’t forget that you can access this webinar recording on the resource portal should you wish to listen again, or if you missed it. As well as this, we have additional information here on the 5 main workloads of Azure.
Acronis F1
CPO Becky and COO Craig flew over to Abu Dhabi to meet vendor Acronis and hang out with their Toro Rosso team at the FIA Formula One World Cup Championships. From pit stop walks to hanging out in the car garage, the guys had great fun networking with the Acronis team as well as building strong partnerships with Acronis’ Chief Growth Officer.
