Comstor to Distribute Cisco Unified Computing System Worldwide, Ushering in New Data Center Opportunities for Resellers
TARRYTOWN, NY, Nov 02, 2009 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) --
Westcon Group, Inc., the leading specialty distributor in
networking, convergence, security and mobility, today announced that
its Comstor Worldwide organization will distribute the groundbreaking
Cisco Unified Computing System (UCS) solutions to qualified channel
partners around the world. Comstor will deliver the Cisco UCS
solutions to mid-market-oriented Cisco channel partners, supporting
them through its solutions programs and advanced training
opportunities.
Cisco's new UCS platform offers many operational benefits, especially
for mid-market companies looking to decrease their IT hardware
footprints and power consumption. Cisco UCS integrates network,
computational, storage access and virtualization elements into a
single cohesive system -- resulting in simplified system management,
higher performance and greater availability.
Bill Corbin, executive vice president, Comstor Worldwide, commented:
"Cisco's UCS is another example of how Cisco is driving opportunity
in the channel by introducing disruptive technologies. The Unified
Computing System, which integrates seamlessly into existing data
center environments, has already proven to deliver tangible business
benefits while lowering operational costs. Comstor Worldwide has the
global infrastructure and networking knowledge to fully support
Cisco's ambitious undertaking -- which we fully expect will result in
market opportunities in the virtualization and data center markets."
Dave O'Callaghan, vice president of distribution, worldwide channels
at Cisco, commented: "As one of our global distribution partners,
Comstor has an important role to play in the successful rollout and
adoption of our virtualization and data center technologies. Our
mutual channel partners will benefit as Comstor Worldwide aligns its
global operational infrastructure and becomes a proactive ambassador
of Cisco Unified Computer System solutions."
"We recognize that virtualization and unified computing technology
represent the next frontier in data center efficiency," said Patrick
Vardeman, vice president and general manager of Houston-based
Accudata Systems, Inc. "As a distributor, Comstor has always been an
early adopter and an enabler for our business. They have the reach,
infrastructure, knowledge and established best practices to help us
capitalize on the very real market opportunity that the Cisco UCS
infrastructure represents."
Comstor Worldwide will be introducing robust programs and services
offerings around Cisco's UCS solution platform over the coming weeks
and is currently developing sophisticated global training centers to
accelerate regional market penetration. Cisco-focused resellers
looking for more information on UCS should contact their local
Comstor sales representative.
