EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Arcserve, the world’s most experienced data and ransomware protection provider, today announced that CRN^®, a brand of The Channel Company, has named Douglas Brockett, President at Arcserve, to its 2021 Top 100 Executives list. This annual list honors the passionate and hard-working technology executives supporting, growing, and redefining the IT channel. The executives named on this list have demonstrated their commitment to the channel and proved themselves as exemplary leaders through their innovative channel-focused strategies and initiatives.

In March 2021, Brockett joined Arcserve as president following Arcserve’s merger with StorageCraft. Brockett had been with StorageCraft since its 2017 acquisition of Exablox, where he had served as CEO, creating award-winning scale-out filesystem technology. Under Brockett’s leadership, StorageCraft experienced its most productive and innovative period since its early days as the company worked to achieve Brockett’s vision of radically simplifying the protection and management of data.

At Arcserve, Brockett is responsible for delivering comprehensive, highly scalable data management and protection solutions with flexible, channel-friendly business models. Now one of the world’s largest business continuity companies, the new Arcserve features the broadest data protection and management solutions portfolio under one roof. Additionally, Arcserve’s technology integration and innovation roadmap will soon deliver the most advanced set of data protection and recovery solutions managed through a single pane of glass. This fast-tracked innovation path gives channel organizations easy access to the future of business continuity, ensuring they stay ahead of customer needs.

CRN’s Top 100 Executives list acknowledges the tech visionaries who are blazing new trails within the larger IT space. It honors executives across four sub-categories: the 25 Most Influential Executives, Top 25 Channel Sales Leaders, Top 25 Innovators, and Top 25 Disruptors, each with its own set of strengths that impact the IT channel. Here, CRN recognized Brockett as a Top 25 Innovator.

Continues Brockett: “Partners can rely on Arcserve for an agile ecosystem that manages data workloads in all environments, as well as protects and recovers data in the event of a disaster. We’re thrilled to empower our partners with an easier route to complete business continuity—helping our partners thrive is the whole point.”
