Hammer Partners With Lightning IQ
Hammer has announced a new partnership with Lightning IQ, a leader in real-time data intelligence and unstructured data management.
This collaboration will see Hammer bring Lightning IQ's revolutionary platform to the UK and European IT channel, empowering partners to deliver rapid, scalable data discovery, compliance, and cost optimisation for their customers.
Lightning IQ's technology enables organisations to scan, map, and index petabyte-scale unstructured data at unprecedented speed, helping businesses reduce risk, cut storage costs, and accelerate AI and cybersecurity initiatives. The partnership will focus on supporting the LVAR community and other channel partners in tackling the challenges of ROT (redundant, obsolete, and trivial) data and unlocking new value from enterprise information.
Dominic Ryles, Director of Sales and Alliance, Cloud & Cybersecurity at Hammer said: "We're thrilled to welcome Lightning IQ to our portfolio. Their platform is a game-changer for partners looking to help customers take control of their data, reduce risk, and drive digital transformation. This partnership further strengthens Hammer's commitment to bringing innovative, best-in-class solutions to the UK and European channel, enabling our partners to differentiate and grow in a rapidly evolving market."
Nick Pollard, Managing Director, Lightning IQ EMEA noted: "Partnering with Hammer opens a unique opportunity for Lightning IQ to reach the heart of the UK and European IT channel. Together, we can help partners and their customers solve one of the enterprise’s toughest challenges: making sense of massive unstructured data, fast and securely. We’re excited to work with Hammer’s expert team to deliver real business outcomes and accelerate data-driven innovation across the region."
