ZEBRA Consultants has been awarded the prestigious 'IBM Partner of the Year 2024 – Storage Solutions' award at the IBM Partner Ecosystem Summit 2025, organised by IBM Greece.
"This significant recognition confirms ZEBRA’ s position at the forefront of advanced storage, cybersecurity resilience, and digital transformation initiatives in the region," the company said in an announcement.
It continued, "The award recognises ZEBRA’s successful deployment of a pioneering and highly advanced IBM Storage Defender solution focused on data resilience and ransomware protection, the first implementation of its kind in the SPGI region, delivered to a private-sector organisation in Cyprus."
IBM Storage Defender serves as an integrated data-resilience platform that unifies IBM’s native technologies with selected partner components, including Cohesity DataProtect. Complementary technologies such as Predatar and Cristie further enhance this ecosystem by providing advanced threat detection, recovery orchestration, and assurance capabilities. A solution designed to mitigate evolving cyber threats, ensure data integrity and minimise operational disruptions, solidifying the client’s security posture against ransomware attacks that increasingly impact global markets.
"This milestone underscores ZEBRA’s leadership in next-generation storage architectures and its proven ability to deliver mission-critical solutions that protect organisations against evolving cyber threats. It establishes a new benchmark for enterprise cyber defence and business continuity across the region," the announcement also said.
Upon accepting the award, George Christodoulou, Managing Director at ZEBRA Consultants, emphasised that the accomplishment reflects the collective dedication and professionalism of ZEBRA’s entire workforce. “This award is dedicated to the entire ZEBRA dream team. Their expertise, professionalism, and unwavering commitment to excellence drive every success we achieve. We are immensely proud of our people and inspired to continue pushing technological boundaries for our clients. We sincerely appreciate our strong relationship with IBM Greece, whose support has been instrumental in our growth, and we look forward to further expanding the IBM ecosystem in Cyprus and the broader region,” Christodoulou added.
Special appreciation was also expressed to Menicos Mavrommatis, IBM Technology Lead for Cyprus, Greece and Malta, for his tireless and invaluable support in helping ZEBRA meet and exceed its strategic goals.
This recognition underscores ZEBRA’s expanding role as a trusted advisor in the region’s evolving digital landscape. The company continues to design and implement sophisticated solutions across critical areas such as:
- Integration & Automation

"Building on this milestone achievement, being also an IBM Gold Business Partner, ZEBRA plans to continue strengthening its strategic collaborations with IBM and expanding its portfolio of next-generation solutions designed to support digital growth, cyber resilience, and technological modernisation across businesses of all sizes," the company's announcement concluded.
