3par Distributed by Systems Integrator Purity IT

3PAR, Inc. has expanded its European sales through partnership with Norway-based systems integrator Purity IT, an enterprise IT solutions specialist with a strong focus on green credentials. Purity resells and supports 3PAR InServ Storage Server hardware and 3PAR InForm Software across Norway.

"We are very excited about this partnership because 3PAR and Purity make a strong match: we both aim to provide our customers with efficient, scalable, and robust storage," said Kjell Rune Øyrås, Sales Director at Purity. "We are highly committed to reducing the datacenter carbon footprint and 3PAR’s technology allows us to offer products that can make a measurable difference to the environment."

Purity was founded by Lars Olav Habberstad and Kjell Rune Øyrås, previously at Proact, one of the biggest IT resellers in the region, which today is known for its market knowledge and cutting-edge solutions. Purity provides its customer base with services and 24/7 support for 3PAR’s hardware and software products. Former director of the United Nations Environment Program, Svein Tveitdal, is also one of the co-founders and chairman of the board at Purity.

"Purity’s business agility and its focus on the high end of the storage market make it an ideal partner for us," said David Scott, President and CEO for 3PAR. "3PAR is the only enterprise-class storage brand in the Purity product portfolio, and we look forward to growing our local presence through this new relationship."
