Gouda, June 5, 2026 – ServerDirect has been named the winner of the prestigious Dell Technologies Breakthrough Partner Award 2026. With this award, Dell Technologies recognizes the exceptional growth, impact, and collaboration that ServerDirect has achieved within the Dutch enterprise market over the past year.

The award marks an important milestone for ServerDirect. Having been nominated for the award last year, the company has rapidly evolved into one of the fastest-growing and most influential infrastructure partners within the Dell Technologies ecosystem. This achievement was recently further reinforced by ServerDirect attaining Dell Platinum Partner status.

Strong Growth in Enterprise Infrastructure

Over the past several years, ServerDirect has established itself as an independent multi-vendor specialist in server, storage, networking, and AI infrastructure solutions. While maintaining this independent approach, the company has simultaneously built a strong and successful partnership with Dell Technologies.

Together, the two organizations have delivered a wide range of enterprise projects for customers across research, education, government, and commercial sectors. One of the most notable examples is the recent European tender for SURF and Nikhef, where ServerDirect was selected to deliver high-performance server and storage infrastructure for Dutch research institutions.

"This award is a wonderful recognition of the work our team delivers every single day," said Fouad El Youssoufi, CEO & Co-founder of ServerDirect. "We strongly believe in an independent multi-vendor approach where customer requirements always come first. The fact that we have built such a strong relationship with Dell Technologies while staying true to that vision makes this recognition even more meaningful. It confirms that expertise, reliability, and long-term partnerships ultimately make the difference."

Trust as the Foundation for Success

According to Dell Technologies, ServerDirect distinguished itself through a combination of technical expertise, entrepreneurship, customer focus, and a strong commitment to solving complex enterprise infrastructure challenges.

"ServerDirect has rapidly developed into an important strategic partner within our ecosystem," said Souad Boufarid, Partner Account Manager at Dell Technologies. "Their expertise in enterprise infrastructure, ability to translate complex customer challenges into practical solutions, and ongoing commitment to quality and service make them a valuable partner for Dell Technologies and our mutual customers. This award is a well-deserved recognition of those achievements."

Investing in the Future

ServerDirect sees this award as validation of the strategic direction the company has pursued over recent years. Through continued investments in enterprise infrastructure, AI platforms, high-performance computing, and strategic partnerships, the organization remains committed to strengthening its position as a leading infrastructure partner in the Netherlands and beyond.

"This award is above all a compliment to our employees, customers, and partners," said Siu-Ho Fung, CTO and Co-founder of ServerDirect. "Over the years, we have deliberately invested in knowledge, quality, and long-term relationships. Being recognized today by one of the world's largest technology companies is something we are incredibly proud of, but more importantly, it motivates us to continue building for the future."
