Infinidat Continues Expansion in Canada With Three Partners

Infinidat Ltd, a provider of enterprise storage solutions, is expanding its presence in Canada with the launch of a national partner network that currently includes 10 resellers, plus numerous early customer wins.

Three of the new partners are Central Technology Services, Inc., FoxNet, Inc. and HighVail Systems, Inc., which provide technology solutions and services specializing in storage, cloud and virtualized environments. They will deliver the InfiniBox enterprise storage array to customers across Canada, helping to meet the growing demand for performance, reliability, easy-to-manage and economical storage.
