SED International Holdings, Inc. (OTC: SEDN), an established
multinational distributor of leading computer technology,
components, and IT storage solutions was recently chosen by Seagate
Technology plc (NASDAQ: STX) as one of its top distributors to help
further penetrate the surveillance market in the U.S.
“Seagate is one of the premier suppliers of storage solutions in
the world. Their brand and reputation is second to none in the
industry. Seagate and SED have a relationship going back decades.
Since my team and I joined SED last fall, I have had the
opportunity to get to know various executives across the Seagate
organization. They are a first class organization and have
demonstrated unwavering support for SED during our rebuilding
process. SED is excited to further enhance its relationship with
Seagate,” said Sham Gad, chairman and chief executive officer of
SED.
“We are pleased to expand our distribution strategy with a
highly regarded distributor as SED International. With a
well-established customer base in the surveillance industry,
Seagate looks to leverage those existing relationships to bring our
portfolio of high-performance surveillance hard drives to
manufacturers and resellers across the United States,” said Bill
White, Seagate executive director of sales Americas
distribution.
Seagate’s Surveillance HDD addresses the need for scaling
surveillance solutions leveraging high-resolution cameras with
cost-effective performance and durability. With new features to
support the drive in NAS and RAID systems, which represent large
opportunities for growth in the surveillance space, security
professionals can build scalable systems to not only support large
streaming workloads but also improve drive reliability and reduce
data loss in these demanding systems resulting in lower field
maintenance and returns.
“Surveillance is a very attractive end market today and
represents an opportunity for SED to continue refining its focus
with a preeminent brand like Seagate. To ensure a win-win for both
sides, Seagate is supporting this initiative with a comprehensive
go-to-market strategy that delivers their value proposition to the
surveillance channel,” said Gad.
