Arrow Enterprise Distributing Tintri

Tintri,
Inc.
has reached a pan-European agreement with Arrow
Enterprise
Computing
Solutions
(ECS), a business segment of Arrow Electronics to distribute its
VM-aware storage solution in thirteen European countries.

Tintri was chosen
both for its technology and its growth to date in the European
market.

"We
see Tintri as a key ecosystem partner in the virtualization IT
segment,"
said Jesper Trolle, VP of sales for Arrow ECS in EMEA. "As
a leading VAD for both Citrix and VMware, it was
important for us to select a storage solution capable of supporting
virtualization projects of all kinds. Tintri has developed an
impressive product and we believe that it will be extremely
well-received by customers seeking to broaden their virtual
deployments."

Arrow ECS is a
business segment of Arrow Electronics with offices in more than 29
countries. It provides localized support teams that have
relationships and understanding of the storage market. By providing
dedicated sales, marketing and engineering resources with product
knowledge, they are charged with introducing Tintri storage solutions
to hundreds of VARs in the region and providing the
assistance to help these resellers grow their Tintri business.

"We’ve
invested heavily in the European market since day one and we’re
thrilled to see our efforts pay off in the form of this significant
partnership,"
said Marcus Chambers, Tintri VP of EMEA operations. "Arrow
ECS will open the door to a number of new opportunities for us, and
we welcome the chance it provides to expand the market for VM-aware
storage. Arrow ECS has an exceptional team in Europe, and we look
forward to kicking off what promises to be a long and fruitful
partnership with them."

The
deal follows the launch in August of the Tintri Lightning Partner
Program to support and enable its reseller channel. Helping global
resellers, distributors, system integrators, and service providers to
capture the business opportunities created by enterprises seeking a
better storage solution for their virtualized data centers. Designed
for partner profitability, the program provides benefits including
joint channel development and business planning, a partner portal,
deal registration, co-marketing, training and technical support.
