“This accreditation recognises our strong partnership with NetApp and our continued commitment to providing our customers with innovative data centre and cloud solutions as well as the highest possible level of support and professional services.”

This new Star Partner status follows multiple NetApp awards for Q Associates in recent years, having been NetApp EMEA HCI Partner of the Year, EMEA Innovation Partner of the Year and EMEA Flexpod Partner of the Year.

“Q Associates are a long established and highly valued NetApp UK Partner who have achieved the highest partnership level of NetApp Star Partner. They have achieved Implementation, Professional Services & Support Services Certification and continually maintain these to the highest levels.

As part of Q Associates’ recent independent IT Survey, we asked UK IT leaders which technology vendors align with their IT strategy for 2020. It was clear from the results that NetApp has a strong foothold in the market, either being utilised now or are in serious contention for future IT plans.
