	To our valued Solutions Partners, Our NSP Program truly is in full swing, following a series of NSP get-togethers in the region and others still in the pipeline. To start all our partners on the right track, we've spent the last few weeks sending out NSP partner kits and calendars.  If you’ve yet to receive your copy, let us know by emailing nsp.enpap@emerson.com. Through this newsletter, we aim to equip you, our partners, with all the support and resources you'll need to expertly and successfully share the Emerson story with your customers. In this issue, we've prepared for you a white paper on top culprits for data center downtime, an introduction to the new Partner Manager for ANZ, a rundown of key channel contacts in the region and finally, a briefer on rebates we offer to partners.  We have so much more in store for you in the coming months. However, we do encourage you to share with us your comments and suggestions to help improve Fast Track Plus and address your specific needs which may vary per country. ‘Til next issue! Cheers, Mitch S. Bautista Chief Editor

	Daniel Sargent, the new Partner Manager for Emerson Network Power ANZ Last year, Daniel Sargent, IT Manager for Emerson Network Power Australia and New Zealand, figured prominently in the launch of Emerson’s live data center in North Ryde, NSW, Australia.       Recently, with the regional push to get Emerson’s Partner Program running, Daniel’s been signed on as the new National Partner Manager for the ANZ region. “As Emerson Network Power’s IT Manager I had to build a business case to justify any investment in new technology for our own business – the same challenge faced by our partners’ customers,” says Daniel. More     NSP Nights: Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh (Vietnam) Another series of Solutions Partner nights were held in Vietnam last month, which gave the Solutions Partner Business team – headed by Barry Bunyi – a chance to personally meet Solutions Partners in the locale.
