The Wasabi Partner Network thrived with new innovation and continued growth in 2023. We ended the year with over 13,000 partners across the globe, spanning value added distributors, managed service providers, resellers, system integrators, and technology alliance partners.  When we launched the Wasabi Partner Network in 2019, our goal was to enable partners to scale their business, expand cloud adoption, and deliver value to their customers. Five years later, we’re seeing our partners accomplish that and much more. 

Every year there are partners who go above and beyond, whether in the overall solution they have engineered or the service they provide to end users. This year, we would like to highlight the very best of the best in the Inaugural Wasabi Partner Network Awards.  

In addition to these recognized partners, we are grateful to every single partner for the great work that they have done in 2023. Thank you for being a Wasabi partner!
