Ingram Micro Inc. (NYSE: IM) today announced the distributor's
Buffalo Solution Center is hosting demonstrations of the new HP
3PAR F200 Storage System. The new hands-on and virtual display
solution was introduced to help channel partners capitalize on the
fast-growing storage market that supports enterprise-class public
and private cloud computing solutions.
To accelerate sales, Ingram Micro also announced that for a
limited time the distributor's HP Enterprise Storage channel
partners in the U.S. are also eligible to receive HP Enterprise
Authentication training and certification at no cost.
In addition, Ingram Micro and HP will help qualifying resellers
cover the expense of bringing customers and prospects into the
Buffalo Solution Center for a hands-on demonstration of the
business and technical advantages of HP 3PAR Utility Storage. Both
complimentary offers are available through the end of January
2012.
"Demand for high-end storage -- particularly across datacenter,
virtualization and cloud environments -- is climbing at a strong
pace and requiring more advanced solutions that can operate
seamlessly as part of the physical and virtual network
infrastructure," says Scott Zahl, vice president and general
manager, Advanced Computing Division, Ingram Micro U.S. "The
addition of the new HP 3PAR Storage System within our Buffalo
Solution Center combined with the free HP 3PAR certification
training and business development assistance is a strong testimony
to the investments we're making within our Advanced Computing
Division and VAR sales organization to give channel partners what
they need to succeed across the board."
Ingram Micro became one of the first distributors to offer HP
3PAR Storage Systems to the IT channel last year. HP acquired 3PAR,
a leading global provider of utility storage, in September 2010.
Under the U.S. distribution relationship, certified HP channel
partners can source HP 3PAR V-Class, T-Class and F-Class Storage
Systems as well as HP 3PAR Peer Motion, Adaptive Optimization and
Thin Provisioning Software products from Ingram Micro.
"The need for enterprise-class storage for virtualized and cloud
environments is growing at a rapid pace, and not surprisingly, so
is the education needed to take advantage of it," said Chris Riley,
vice president, Americas, Storage, HP. "Together with Ingram
Micro's Advanced Computing Division resources, we're offering
training and certification at no cost that will enable resellers to
easily as well as cost-effectively expand their storage businesses
with HP 3PAR Utility Storage."
Certification, education, sales enablement and training on and
around HP 3PAR Storage Systems are all available to channel
partners as part of Ingram Micro's dedicated HP Business Unit and
Advanced Computing Division.
