MARLBOROUGH, MASS. -- ExaGrid®, the industry’s only Tiered Backup Storage solution with Retention Time-Lock that includes a non-network-facing tier (creating a tiered air gap), delayed deletes and immutability for ransomware recovery, announced that CRN®, a brand of The Channel Company, has named Andy Walsky, ExaGrid’s Vice President of EMEA & APAC Sales, to the highly-anticipated 2025 CRN® Channel Leaders list for the APAC region.

“I am honored to be named to this list, and grateful to CRN for its coverage of the APAC region,” said Andy Walsky. “Working with channel partners is the key to success for any company and must be treated with the highest priority. My channel philosophy is to treat the channel as you would want to be treated yourself, always be fair and keep your word. Developing trust with channel partners is critical—it takes time to build, but it can be quickly ruined. I have deep respect for the work our channel partners do every day and they should be rewarded accordingly.”

ExaGrid is known for having a Tiered Backup Storage system that “just works,” is not oversold or undersized, and provides its customers with the best customer support industry from an assigned level 2 technical support engineer, ensuring that partners’ customers are well taken care of. ExaGrid provides its reseller partners with a registration program to protect accounts and margins, and SPIF incentives.
