"While this announcement certainly serves as an enviable endorsement for Sanbolic, bottom line - it is extremely significant news for the channel," said Eva Helen, Co-Founder, President, and COO, Sanbolic.  "Moving forward, channel partners will now be able to offer their end user customers a compatibility-ensured Microsoft and Sanbolic solution that provides optimal availability, scalability, performance, and protection for SQL Server and private cloud environments, not to mention is also dramatically more cost effective, over competing solutions such as Oracle and VMware."

Continued Helen, "We are indeed honored to be among the select few Microsoft partners invited to participate in its HiPo program, and look forward to the opportunity it presents us to not only deepen our relationship with Microsoft, but with its vast network of market leading solutions providers."

Through the Microsoft High Potential (HiPo) ISV Managed Partner Program, Sanbolic will gain access to the latest technology, market opportunities, and sales and marketing resources that have been specifically created with HiPo partners in mind. From planning the development cycle to supporting channel partners and/or end user customers, Sanbolic will be provided with the tools and resources necessary to build innovative solutions and bring them to market.

Today's announcement builds upon Sanbolic's existing Microsoft Gold Certified ISV status, which demonstrates its ability to meet Microsoft customers' evolving needs in today's dynamic business environment. To earn the Microsoft Gold Competency, Sanbolic needed to complete a rigorous set of tests to prove its level of technology expertise, employ the appropriate number of Microsoft Certified Professionals, submit customer references, and demonstrate its commitment to customer satisfaction by participating in a Microsoft annual survey.
