Pivot3 vSTAC VDI Products Distributed by Tech Data

Pivot3, Inc. announced a distribution partnership with
Tech Data Corporation.

Tech Data is now authorized to
distribute the Pivot3 vSTAC VDI products to its partner network throughout the
Americas.

The Pivot3 vSTAC VDI appliance family makes VMware View deployments simple,
affordable and channel consumable for the 100 to 1000 desktop target market.
Pivot3 vSTAC VDI appliances unify storage and servers eliminating the need for
any specialized IT expertise required to configure and integrate separate SAN
storage, servers and software into a VDI solution.

"Partnering with Pivot3
adds a compelling offering into our existing VMware-based line-card by
providing us with the opportunity to deliver simple and affordable desktop
modernization to our mid-market VMware View solution providers," said
Chuck Bartlett, Vice President and General Manager of Advanced Infrastructure
Solutions (AIS) at Tech Data Corporation. "Our View solution providers
will be able to quickly deploy a virtual desktop infrastructure at an
attractive price point to both the reseller and the customer."

"The strength of Tech Data’s partner network and their focus on
serving the desktop virtualization mid-market, such as state, local government
and education, make them a perfect partner to distribute Pivot3 VDI solutions,"
said, Olivier Thierry, CMO of Pivot3. "The mid-market has been clamoring
for a View appliance-based solution that has enterprise class features and yet
is simple, scalable and affordable."

TSK Group plc, a UK based company that delivers high performance workplaces for
corporate organizations recently implemented the Pivot3 vSTAC VDI product.

Mark Eades, IT manager at TSK commented: "We were very impressed with how
well the Pivot3 vSTAC VDI installation went, making our VMware View 5.0
deployment both simple and affordable. It eliminated the complexities and skill
levels normally imposed."

In support of the this partnership, Pivot3 recently announced its
VDI Channel Ready program consisting of many elements designed to maximize lead
opportunity and qualification for Tech Data resellers and solution providers.
Beyond the traditional online resources, there are online tools for VDI
self-configuration and ROI analysis. Additionally, prospects can ‘Test Drive’ a
live, hosted 300 to 400 desktop scenario complete with workload simulation,
login storms, scale-out of desktops and performance reporting. The Channel
Ready program is also designed to eliminate channel conflict and enhance
sell-though with all VMware and Microsoft license revenues flowing to the
resellers. In addition, deal registration is available to partners.

The Pivot3 vSTAC VDI is available and has garnered the
interest of several enterprises across various industries, including
healthcare, education, government and financial services.
