Announcing the Winners of the 2025 Wasabi Partner Network Awards
In 2025, our partners continued to prove what this ecosystem is built for: turning cloud storage into real customer outcomes. The Wasabi Partner Network spans value-added distributors, managed service providers, resellers, systems integrators, and technology alliance partners, and this year that global reach showed up as stronger solutions, broader adoption, and meaningful growth across every region.
When we launched the Wasabi Partner Network in 2019, we set out to build a program that helps partners expand their capabilities and win in the market with confidence. Seven years in, it’s inspiring to see partners not only meeting that goal, but pushing into new territory with creativity, consistency, and an unwavering commitment to customer success.
Each year, a select group of partners distinguishes themselves with best-in-class solutions and standout execution. The Wasabi Partner Network Awards recognize those leaders across regions and categories, and this year’s winners reflect the innovation, partnership, and exceptional results that defined 2025.
Without further ado, it’s my pleasure to share the winners of this year’s Wasabi Partner Network Awards.

They serve as “add-ons” to our existing sales and tech certification program, becoming available once a partner completes the corresponding certification.
