Pure Storage partner programme evolution reinforces commitment to 100 % partner go-to-market strategy

Pure Storage, an IT pioneer delivering advanced data storage technology and services, has announced updates to its reseller, managed services and distributor programmes to create a more differentiated, solutions-led partner experience, including deeper enablement and new programme tiers.

“ The evolution of our partner programme builds on the foundational updates we introduced last year, reflecting Pure’ s continued investment in enabling partners’ success,” said Amy Fowler, General Manager, Commercial Line of Business at Pure Storage.“ The introduction of the Ambassador tier is a key step in helping our partners embed Pure into their solutions.”
The updated programme prioritises verified technical expertise, solution specialisation and operational impact over volumebased participation. New Solution Practice Designations and the Ambassador tier recognise partners with deep knowledge of the Pure Storage platform and proven outcomes across AI and analytics, cyber-resilience, cloud and application modernisation.
A stronger focus on data-centric services underpins the Managed Services Provider( MSP) programme, with emphasis on private and sovereign cloud, Storage as-a-Service and backup and disaster recovery. Distributors will play an expanded role in enablement, with enhanced incentives, marketing investment and responsibility for partner training.
“ These updates deliver our most rewarding programme to date for partners to build long-term, profitable businesses with the Pure Storage platform,” said Geoff Greenlaw, VP Channel EMEA and LATAM at Pure Storage.“ By focusing on solutions, services and outcomes, we are giving partners clearer paths to margin, more predictable growth engines and the support they need to succeed with customers in 2026 and well into the future.”
