Arrow Distributing SimpliVity

Arrow Electronics, Inc. and SimpliVity Corp., in hyperconverged infrastructure for the software-defined data center, announced a Pan-European agreement to deliver a solution to resellers and their customers to transform today’s data center.

SimpliVity provides the scale, agility, efficiency and economics of cloud infrastructure with the performance, protection and manageability of enterprise IT. OmniCube consolidates up to a dozen infrastructure functions into a single unified stack. Its data architecture delivered on commodity x86 building blocks helps organizations realize a 3x TCO savings. Deploying a network of two or more OmniCubes creates a federation that facilitates efficient data movement, resource sharing and scalability.

“We believe in delivering our resellers-and by extension their customers-best-in-class solutions,” said Jesper Trolle, VP sales, Arrow’s enterprise EMEA computing solutions segment. “We are pleased to sign this distribution agreement with SimpliVity to offer our Pan-EMEA resellers a revolutionary solution for transforming today’s data center. SimpliVity has a reputation as a leader in the hyperconverged market, and we’re thrilled to bring to market this simplified approach to the data center.“

“Arrow has tremendous reach and market penetration as an international distributor, and we are excited to expand our footprint in Pan-EMEA with their support,” said Mitch Breen, SVP of global sales, SimpliVity. “Together, we believe we can deliver world-class offerings that address the performance and capacity challenges in today’s virtualized data centers, ensuring performance, capacity, mobility, manageability and protection of data without driving up CAPEX and OPEX.“

This agreement follows the launch of SimpliVity PartnerAdvantage, a program that enables IT’s resellers and integrators to offer their customers a solution to transform their data centers. The program encourages partners to maximize sales of OmniCube and implement robust support, training and marketing materials to drive business.
