Chris Horn, Gridstore board member says: "This is a very exciting time to be expanding into Ireland. The rise and fall of the Celtic tiger was an unfortunate setback, but according to the European Commission's recent economic growth forecasts, Ireland's economy will grow by 1.8 per cent this year and 2.9 per cent in 2015, illustrating that the country is getting back on its feet. Gridstore sees a lot of potential in Ireland as a place to expand and through our Accelerate Partner Program and our new partner Datarch, we're in a great position to do just that." Andy Hill, Vice President of EMEA Channel Sales, Gridstore adds: "We are very pleased to welcome Datarch into the EMEA Accelerate Program as they will play an integral role in expanding our reach into the Irish market with software-defined storage solutions for the Microsoft Hyper-V market.
