Broadening its enterprise solutions portfolio, Ingram Micro Inc. has expanded its relationship with HP and is now authorised to market, sell and support enterprise-class HP 3PAR Storage Systems.
Ingram Micro is one of the first distributors to offer HP 3PAR Storage Systems and solutions to the IT channel. HP acquired 3PAR in September 2010.
“The availability of HP 3PAR technologies from Ingram Micro is significant news for the VAR community and opens up the playing field for channel partners addressing the storage needs of enterprise-class public and private cloud computing environments,” said Mark Maisano, Senior Director, Advanced Computing Division and HP Business Unit, Ingram Micro U.S.
“HP sees tremendous business value in the IT channel and is pleased to make our new 3PAR storage solutions available from Ingram Micro,” said Frank Rauch, Vice President, Channels, HP. “With the support of Ingram Micro’s HP Business Unit and new Advanced Computing Division, we are able to accelerate and execute against our converged infrastructure strategy. Together we offer HP channel partners the enablement resources, support and technology they need to build and grow a profitable practice around HP storage solutions.”
HP 3PAR Storage Systems, including the T-Class and F-Class systems, are designed to help channel partners deliver the efficiencies of consolidation while maximising flexibility, a combination critical for virtualisation and cloud computing environments.
