Datastor Exclusive Xiotech Distributor

Xiotech Corporation announced a partnership with Datastor (NZ) Ltd., a subsidiary of Westcon Group, Inc. and a virtualization, storage, security, data protection and convergence distributor. Under the terms of the agreement, Datastor will be the exclusive Xiotech distributor in New Zealand.

Explosive data growth has outstripped the legacy storage infrastructure, requiring costly over-provisioning of resources to overcome a significant performance bottleneck. Offering a fresh approach to this well-entrenched business reality, Intelligent Storage Element (ISE) technology delivers the industry’s highest-performing and most reliable application-oriented data storage. ISE units enable 100 percent usable storage capacity, while maintaining optimal performance as drives approach full utilization. Notably, due to efficiencies inherent in ISE technology, Xiotech allows organizations to scale their storage infrastructures with unprecedented flexibility and cost effectiveness.

"Xiotech’s unique five-year warranty, coupled with technology that fully optimizes storage capacity, makes ISE an ideal addition to our storage and virtualization portfolio," said Dave Rosenberg, Managing Director at Datastor. "As the exclusive Xiotech distributor, we are able to offer enterprises a best-practices approach to consolidating their server infrastructure while maximizing business value from their virtualization deployments."

"Datastor has a history of bringing innovative technologies to market, and an established reputation for serving as a trusted advisor to both partners and customers," said Brian Reagan, senior vice president of marketing and business development at Xiotech. "Partnering with Datastor underscores Xiotech’s mission to provide the highest-performing and most reliable, scalable and manageable back-end storage that supports enterprises’ data protection and disaster recovery initiatives."

This relationship demonstrates Xiotech’s momentum in scaling its global service and support footprint. Last month, the company launched a partnership with worldwide consulting and services leader GlassHouse Technologies, Inc. to expand its international presence and execute a range of joint development and marketing activities around its ISE technology.
