Spectra Logic Corporation announced a strategic relationship with CIS Group Corporation, a technology distributor, who will be its sole supplier of solutions in Brazil.

With a focus on the broadcast and entertainment markets, CIS will sell and support all Spectra Logic storage solutions throughout Brazil, helping to expand Spectra’s reach in South America.

To kick off the partnership, the two companies will co-exhibit at the SET Expo 2019 in the Red Pavilion of the Expo Center Norte in São Paulo, Brazil from August 27-29, 2019. Spectra’s BlackPearl object storage platform will be showcased alongside solutions from mutual partners, Avid and Glookast.

“We selected CIS as our partner of choice in Brazil because of their strong reputation in that region and their solid partnership with Avid,” said Nathan Thompson, CEO, Spectra Logic. “Spectra’s storage and management solutions and its seamless integration with Avid and other media management platforms provide M&E customers with end-to-end workflows that help them access, protect and monetize their digital assets. We are very excited about this partnership and believe it will advance Spectra’s footprint in South America.“

Commenting on the partnership, CIS Group’s COO Matt Silva said: “We at CIS are very excited to be partnering with Spectra Logic in the Brazilian market. It goes without saying that throughout the last 40 years, Spectra has continuously solidified its position as a manufacturer at the forefront of technology in the media and entertainment industry. When coupled with CIS’s 30+ year history as a market leader in Brazil, this represents a very unique offering – a ‘perfect union’ of sorts. In bringing the Spectra product line to market, we anticipate offering our clients a very compelling solution for their dynamic workflow needs, particularly as it relates to storage and data management, and are very much looking forward to advancing this partnership.“
