Scality unveils reimagined channel program built around partner successSAN FRANCISCO, June 23, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Scality, a global leader in data infrastructure software for AI-era storage at scale, today announced a reimagined Scality Partner Program designed to deliver greater value, stronger economics, and a clearer growth path to its global community of resellers and distributors. This is not only a significant update; it’s a change of program model. Where most channel programs reward transaction volume, Scality's new program rewards expertise, pipeline creation, and the ability to address three simultaneously fast-growing markets: cyber-resilience, digital sovereignty, and AI infrastructure. The channel opportunity has expanded The market for enterprise data infrastructure is being reshaped by three forces that are creating new addressable opportunities for channel partners: the rapid build-out of AI infrastructure, the urgent enterprise need for cyber resilience, and the rising importance of sovereign control over data. Each of these forces creates customer demand that partners are uniquely positioned to meet, but only if their economics, enablement, and program structure align to the kind of consultative, expertise-driven selling these opportunities require. Scality is doubling down on the channel as its route to market, and this new program is structured so that partners share fully in the opportunity ahead. Built around what truly drives long-term success The new Scality Partner Program is intentionally designed around the behaviors that build durable, mutual success and not just closed deals. It pairs competitive margins with deeper investment in enablement, growth and long-term value for partners. Through Scality University, partners get on-demand sales and technical training. Clear certification tracks help them build proven expertise in Scality ARTESCA, RING, and ADI, from selling the solution to deploying it. And with the new ARTESCA Test Drive, partners can launch a live demo environment in minutes and show the product to customers with no setup. Together with marketing campaign kits, co-funded campaigns, and qualified leads for top tiers, these tools help partners grow stronger, expertise-led businesses with Scality. Key program improvements are:
The program includes a strengthened training catalog, with pathways for each partner profile:
Scality’s technology is 100% software-defined. That gives partners the flexibility to choose the configurations and hardware vendors that best suit each customer, with a meaningful advantage in today’s constrained hardware market. Because Scality does not sell hardware, the overall solution remains more cost-effective for end customers, and partners keep more of the value in each deal. Aligned to where the market is going The program is aligned to Scality’s three strategic pillars, each representing a distinct partner opportunity:
“The Scality partner program is designed to reward what truly generates long-term success: technical excellence, solution expertise, and proactive market engagement—not just signed contracts. Partners who build pipelines, educate their customers, and develop the Scality footprint are those who capture the most value in this program. And in the sovereign and AI markets, across EMEA, the Americas, and APAC, it is precisely this type of partner that makes the difference.” - Eric LeBlanc, ARTESCA GM & Channel Chief, Scality "Most partner programs reward who moves the most boxes. Scality's new program rewards partners who build the right architecture and stay with the customer through it, which is how Etage works. Their software-defined model gives us the flexibility to design for each customer's reality. The new program gives us the economic certainty to invest in those engagements, and Scality solutions with CORE5 cyber-resilience give us a story that lands hard in the cyber and sovereignty conversations defining our market right now." Availability The new Scality Partner Program was available globally beginning June 9, 2026. Existing partners will be transitioned into the new tier structure with support from their Scality channel managers.
