DriveScale Distributed by Promark/Ingram Micro

DriveScale, Inc., in delivering Software Composable Infrastructure (SCI) for workloads, signed a distribution agreement with Promark Technology, Inc., a US-focused, VAD and wholly-owned subsidiary of Ingram Micro Inc.

Under the agreement, Promark will distribute the DriveScale System to its growing base of channel partners in the US. With the DriveScale System, Promark’s channel will be able to offer customers a next-generation data center architecture that supports modern workloads such as Hadoop and other big data technologies.

The team’s expertise in storage distribution, combined with a focus on customer service, makes it an ideal fit for DriveScale and our SCI solution,” said Gene Banman, CEO, DriveScale. “We look forward to working with Promark to expand our reach across the U.S. and to better meet the business needs of our channel partners.“

“We’re pleased to play a valued role within DriveScale’s go-to-market strategy,” said Dale Foster, executive director and GM, Promark. “We seek out relationships with companies developing innovative solutions that positively impact the success of our channel partners. DriveScale’s SCI solution enables our channel partners to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of their customers’ data center, allowing them to operate with the agility and flexibility of the public cloud.“
