Fujitsu Storage Group Receives Five-Star Rating from CMP's VARBusiness Magazine

San Jose, CA, March 29, 2005 — Fujitsu Computer Products of America, Inc., one of the world’s leading suppliers of hard disk drives and computer peripherals, today was recognized by CMP Media’s VARBusiness magazine as one of North America’s top information-technology (IT) vendors in terms of the breadth and depth of channel-partner programs it presents to solution providers that sell its products. Fujitsu received a Five-Star Rating, acknowledging the robust features of its programs for System integrators, resellers and solution providers.

Of the 287 vendor program entries reviewed this year, one-third of them from 85 different vendors received the coveted five-star rating in the magazine’s 11th annual Partner Programs Guide survey. Additionally, the publication recognized Lorne Wilson, vice president, Channel Sales and Marketing, as one of the Top 75 Channel Executives for 2005 and as an instrumental driving force in the company’s exemplary program. The guide appears in the March 21, 2005, issue of VARBusiness.

"We applaud vendors like Fujitsu for their overall channel commitment and channel innovation," says VARBusiness Publisher Robert C. DeMarzo.

"This recognition is particularly gratifying because in the past several years we have made a concentrated effort to create a top-notch partner program through dramatically increased spending and, more importantly, by listening carefully to the needs of our partners," said Wilson. "In this business, success is achieved by working closely with solution providers, distribution partners and customers to build solutions that exceed expectations."
