Looking to broaden its channel ecosystem across Africa, NetApp has added Axiz to its distributor portfolio.
“Collaborating with Axiz represents a pivotal step in NetApp’s Africa strategy,” says Farid Najjar, commercial sales manager – MEA at NetApp. “Axiz’s reach, technical expertise, and strong multi-vendor ecosystem uniquely position them to drive the next phase of our growth across key markets. This is not just about distribution – it’s about enabling a new generation of cloud, AI, and infrastructure leaders across the continent.”
Craig Brunsden, CEO of Axiz, adds: “This partnership responds to the real infrastructure demands we’re seeing across the continent. NetApp brings proven capabilities in areas like hybrid cloud and secure storage, and our role is to ensure that partners across Sub-Saharan Africa can access and apply those solutions where they’re needed most.”
Axiz will offer the full NetApp product suite to channel partners alongside enablement programmes, technical support, and a scalable services engine to help partners grow faster and deliver greater value to customers.
“The addition of NetApp to our ecosystem opens significant opportunities for partners to tap into high-growth segments such as AI, hybrid cloud, and secure multicloud storage,” says Elvira Scheller, GM for Backup and Storage at Axiz. “Together, we will unlock scale, accelerate partner profitability, and drive adoption of next-generation solutions that align to Africa’s digital future.”
