INDIANAPOLIS, March 20, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- (from 2018
Spring Varnex Conference) – SYNNEX Corporation
(NYSE: SNX), a leading business process services company,
today announced that it has expanded its agreement with Microsoft
to offer Azure IoT solutions to its partners. Through the addition,
SYNNEX is able to deliver a market-ready IoT solution to help meet
critical needs in key vertical markets including education and
public safety, and regulated industries such as transportation,
healthcare, utilities and construction.
"We are pleased to expand our relationship with Microsoft by
adding the Azure Platform," said Rob
Moyer, Vice President, Cloud, Mobility and IoT, SYNNEX
Corporation. "This strategic addition allows us to deliver a
seamless solution that helps end-customers solve real world
problems, increase productivity, and save money over time with
IoT."
The Azure IoT Hub easily and securely connects (IoT) assets and
allows users to rely on telemetry data to understand the state of
their devices and be ready to take action when a device needs
attention. The hub is the foundation of the IoT solutions available
through the SYNNEX Cloud Solution Provider Program, which allows
partners to sell Microsoft cloud services with their current
offerings and own the complete customer lifestyle through direct
billing, provisioning, management and support. By adding the Azure
hub, users can get started quickly, register and provision IoT
devices automatically, securely connect and manage billions of
devices and assets, and understand real-time data in the cloud.
By working with SYNNEX, partners are able to help their
customers solve real-world problems such as:
- Keeping students safe and secure on school buses by adding
security cameras and Wi-Fi. This allows school districts to
monitor the environment, have a record of activity, and communicate
with police officers in the case of an emergency;
- Ensuring safety for law enforcement officers through video
surveillance in patrol cars and body-worn cameras. First responders
can also use IoT technology to be prepared during a disaster
including monitoring and analyzing data through an IoT hub. These
solutions are available through SYNNEX' Public Safety
Practice;
- Tracking drivers' hours to ensure their hours of service
requirements are met, which is now enforced through the Electronic
Logging Device (ELD) mandate; as well as seeing where trucks are
located in real-time.
According to Embedded Works President Andy Do, "When building Embedded Work's IoT
solutions, our cloud of choice for a robust and flexible system was
Microsoft's Azure platform. Azure's DIY dashboard and IoT Hub
framework allow us to scale up or down based on resource demands.
SYNNEX' support made it possible to order and activate our initial
Azure server quickly and seamlessly. From there, we developed our
GPS and sensor platforms with confidence."
Resellers can access a number of competitive advantages through
SYNNEX, including go-to-market carrier offerings to manage wireless
activations. They can also expand their businesses and increase
market-share with Device-as-a-Service (DaaS), which simplifies the
device procurement process with a modern solution for purchasing
devices, software, cloud services and managed services. Partners
can rely on the support of subject matter experts in education and
public safety as well as experienced cloud engineers. In addition,
the SYNNEX Field Services Team can easily deploy IoT services for
customers onsite.
"We're excited to be partnering with SYNNEX to expand the Azure
Services available through the SYNNEX Cloud Solution Provider
Program to include our comprehensive set of IoT services," said
Rodney Clark, Vice President IoT,
Microsoft. "Utilizing Azure IoT services, our partner ecosystem can
build intelligent edge to cloud solutions quickly and securely to
realize business value and drive transformative impact to end
customers."
