SANTA ANA, CA--(Marketwired - Mar 31, 2014) - Capitalizing on
its success in North America, Ingram Micro Inc. (NYSE: IM), today
announced it is expanding Ingram Micro Cloud into a worldwide

"Ingram Micro's proven expertise, experience and ability to
execute as a master cloud services aggregator has accelerated our
success and positioned us as one of the Top 100 cloud providers,"

partners and IT professionals to educate themselves, browse, buy,
deploy and manage a comprehensive suite of cloud services with ease
and efficiency directly from Ingram Micro. Under the new worldwide
organization, Ingram Micro's online marketplace, which features
more than 200 solutions and 70 vendors, will adopt a global
platform that is built to enhance the marketplace's capabilities
and introduce a new series of cloud management services. Many of
these new features and services will be introduced on April 8, 2014
at the fifth annual Ingram Micro Cloud Summit in Hollywood,
Fla.
As part of Ingram Micro's new global cloud organization, Turker
