Reseller & Distribution Partners sell and support CIQ software through the procurement channels organizations already use, including public-sector contract vehicles, global distributors, and regional systems integrators. They deliver the full CIQ product portfolio alongside their own services.

Ecosystem & Technology Partners are software and silicon vendors — such as NVIDIA, AMD, Ansys, Altair, and Veeam — whose GPU drivers, simulation software, and data protection platforms are validated to run alongside Rocky Linux, so your AI and HPC stack is tested and interoperable.
