Arrow Offers Oracle FS1 Flash Storage Systems

Arrow Electronics, Inc. has added the latest Oracle FS1 flash storage system to its storage offerings across locations in EMEA to enable resellers to meet customers’ increasing needs to address performance-sensitive workloads.

The system is purpose-built to exploit the performance and latency of flash while providing the optional benefits of disk economics. Using its QoS Plus feature, it places data across flash and disk media to maximize performance, efficiency, and cost based on usage profiles and business priorities. FS1 features one-click provisioning for Oracle Database and Oracle and third-party applications including Exchange and SAP, to simplify deployment and deliver dynamic automation.

Jesper Trolle, VP sales, marketing and services, Arrow ECS EMEA, commented: “As the market for flash expands, the Oracle FS1 flash storage system will play a pivotal role in meeting the demand for cost-effective, higher performance SAN arrays. At Arrow, we’re delighted to bring our value added distribution model to Oracle’s vision of offering a comprehensive solution.“

As a Platinum level member of Oracle PartnerNetwork (OPN), Arrow provides resellers with demonstration facilities, which allow them to benefit from hands-on demonstrations, proof-of concepts (POCs), solution evaluation, training courses, benchmarking and performance tests. Arrow currently has seven Oracle demonstration facilities in EMEA, and plans to equip its France, Germany, Poland and Switzerland locations with FS1.

David Callaghan, SVP, alliances and channels, Oracle EMEA said: “I am delighted to see Arrow establish demonstration facilities which will allow our OPN community and customers to experience first-hand the FS1 Flash Storage system, Oracle’s leading edge, enterprise-grade SAN solution.“
