Our weekly Channel People Making Waves counts down the top stories of the past seven days. We highlight the individuals behind the stories, this week featuring Red Hat, Presidio, Microsoft and more.

When it comes to Microsoft, it’s out with the old and in with the new. The company continued to make waves this week a week after announcing the revamping of its channel program. We reported on the six new solution designations the revised program offers and partner reaction to it.

This week we also heard from an analyst who assesses the news that Datto may be considering its strategic options, including a possible sale. The analyst made waves for his predictions about what a sale might mean for the company. You can check out those predictions in the slideshow above.

Finally, we feature the CEO of another firm that is pulling out all business operations, including sales and services, in Russia and Belarus in response to the ongoing war in Ukraine.

Also, don’t forget to catch last week’s roundup which you can find here.
