Tegile Distributed by Promark

Tegile Systems,
Inc. has signed a distribution agreement with Promark Technology, Inc., VAD in the US, to make its Zebi line of hybrid storage arrays
available to a range of solution providers throughout North America as an
extension of the company’s presence in the channel.

Promark’s emphasis on data storage solutions and its ability to provide the
necessary programs, tools and reliable support infrastructure helps VARs and
system integrators successfully meet their business objectives, increase profit
margins and obtain an advantage over their competition. This agreement strengthens Tegile’s 100% channel-focused partner program that was
recently named among the IT channel’s most elite with a designation in CRN’s
2013 5-Star Partner Program Guide.

By partnering with Promark, Zebi
storage arrays will also be available to customers in the public sector through
the General Services Administration (GSA) schedule procurement process. Promark
holds a two-tier distribution arrangement with GSA that resellers can leverage
to sell products to government customers even if they do not hold a GSA
contract of their own. This agreement opens up additional markets for the
company while also providing members of the Tegile Channel Partner Program with
the opportunity to fulfill government orders they may not otherwise have
qualified to provide.

"For
more than 20 years, we have been providing proven products in many data storage
arenas to ensure customers are getting the best solution to meet their
particular needs," said Dale Foster of Promark. "The addition of Tegile to our roster of storage
solutions empowers our system integrator and reseller partners with another
innovative technology to offer their clients. Hybrid storage arrays like Zebi
are ideally suited to help businesses overcome their data challenges through a
balanced approach of both cost and performance."

Zebi arrays leverage the performance
of SSD and low cost per terabyte of high capacity disk drives to deliver up to seven
times the performance and up to 75% less capacity required than legacy arrays. They combine patent-pending MASS technology with high
performance DRAM, solid state flash, Xeon processors and high speed
Ethernet or FC, resulting in higher capacity and higher performance. Maximizing
capacity, on-the-fly de-duplication and data compression enable more hosted
virtual desktops for a lower investment in storage and network infrastructure.

"As
a company that is 100% focused on selling through the channel, the success of
those in the reseller community is instrumental to our ultimate success,"
said Rob Commins, VP of marketing, Tegile. "Working with a premier distributor like Promark that helps channel
partners achieve their business objectives is a great way to extend the reach
of Tegile’s Zebi storage arrays. Not only do they provide reseller partners
with the ability to deliver Zebi arrays to their clients but they also provide
the support, marketing and training programs to ensure their ongoing success.
This agreement is a ‘win-win-win’ situation for all involved."
