Ingram Micro Becomes Public Sector Distributor for VMware
Value-Driven Distribution Organization to Work With Channel
Partners in the Federal Market
SANTA ANA, CA--(Marketwired - Feb 11, 2014) - Expanding its
business reach and advanced solutions portfolio, Ingram Micro Inc.
(NYSE: IM), the world's largest wholesale technology distributor
and a global leader in supply-chain and mobile device lifecycle
services, today announced it has been named a VMware Federal
Distribution Partner. This will enable Ingram Micro U.S. to market,
sell and support the entire VMware portfolio to channel partners
working within the federal market.
"Working with VMware to partner in the federal market place will
enable Ingram Micro to leverage our strength in the public sector
space as a whole, and support all aspects of our channel partners'
VMware business," says Scott Zahl, vice president and general
manager, Advanced Computing Division, Ingram Micro U.S. "We're
committed to helping our partners build better businesses, and will
continue to go above and beyond to further differentiate Ingram
Micro as an indispensable partner that empowers our channel
partners to deliver exceptional service and be more
profitable."
To help ensure the success of this expanded relationship, Ingram
Micro has added a dedicated VMware sales team specialized in the
U.S. civilian, defense and intelligence community markets to its
Public Sector business unit, led by Executive Director Michael
Humke. That team will also include field-deployable VMware
certified pre- and post-sales technical support consultants,
channel development professionals, volume licensing specialists,
marketing experts and renewal services specialists. The integrated
team will play a vital role in market development, cross-sales and
support for VMware's Public Sector business.
"We are pleased to have Ingram Micro as a public sector
distributor," says Frank Rauch, vice president, Americas Partner
Organization, VMware. "The sales and service opportunities around
the software-defined data center continue to grow within the public
sector as these organizations strive to do more with less. We will
continue our work with Ingram Micro to meet the demands for VMware
solution sets and enable channel partners to market, sell and
support VMware solutions across all U.S. market sectors."
Ingram Micro's Humke adds, "The public sector is a challenging
market that requires in-depth knowledge of technology in general,
as well as industry regulations and organizational protocols.

markets and is primed to help our mutual VMware channel partners
and prospects grow their business."
