Avnet Technology Solutions has launched the Altitude programme in the UK aimed at promoting EMC storage and back-up devices for SMBs.
Avnet Technology Solutions' partners now have access to EMC's range of VNXe storage solutions and Data Domain back-up products following a new supplier agreement.
To speed time to market the distributor has launched a new programme, called Altitude, which consists of an online configuration tool that business partners can use to calculate pricing for EMC products without the need to contact either Avnet or EMC.
Lee Bushnell, EMC business manager, Avnet Technology Solutions, UK, said: "We believe the next 12 months will see a high level of growth in terms of companies leveraging existing network technology and adding storage functionality to their data centre environments. The new Altitude portal will give Avnet business partners an advantage in terms of speed of response to such opportunities."
Terry Beale, channel director at EMC, added: "Offering storage and back-up devices for SMBs with minimum delay makes sound business sense. Avnet has already demonstrated its ability to act quickly and efficiently by setting up this programme, and we look forward to working together to maximise this market opportunity."
