Tandberg
Data announced the signing of a new distributor agreement with Promark Technology, Inc.

Promark will supply the full range of data protection
solutions from Tandberg Data through its U.S. channel network, which
consists of large system integrators, major direct marketing resellers (DMRs)
and VARs.

Under the agreement, Tandberg Data will provide Promark
customers with its full suite of data protection solutions that include RDX
removable disk devices and solutions, tape automation, LTO and DAT tape drives
and media, network-attached disk appliances and AccuGuard deduplication
software.

"We are delighted
to sign this distribution agreement with Promark," said Scott
Petersen, senior vice president of the Americas at Tandberg Data. "With their legacy of providing innovative
technology through their strong and well established VAR channel, we anticipate
that our data storage solutions will be sold through a whole new set of channel
partners, further invigorating our latest VAR recruitment initiatives."

"Tandberg Data has been in the information
storage industry serving small businesses for more than 30 years, which gives
them considerable insight into the data preservation pain points of partners,"
said Charles Bass, vice president of alliances and strategic accounts for
Promark. "We look forward to
offering their full line of tape, disk and removable disk storage technologies
to our partners, who will benefit as much as we do from Tandberg Data’s highly
competitive margin structure and aggressive end user pricing."
