DataCore has signed a UK distribution agreement with server, storage and networking distributor Exertis. DataCore offers software-defined storage and converged virtual SAN solutions and has growth and expansion plans for its UK and Eire operations. Adrian Groeneveld recently joined DataCore from Atlantis Software as Regional Sales Manager for the South of England.
One of the first activities that Exertis will work on is the first EMEA DataCore Parallel I/O Benchmarking Demo Hub, where partners and end users alike can re-create similar results on SPC-1 like configurations for themselves utilising DataCore’s Hyper-converged Virtual SAN software running on Lenovo severs. The demo hub will also demonstrate DataCore’s software working across all types of storage (flash, disk and cloud) to automate and provide easy management.
Brett Denly, Regional Director, DataCore Software, UK & Eire commented. “These are exciting times for DataCore. The announcements we have already seen in 2016 position us to have notable impact on compute environments and server infrastructures, so it is essential that we have the correct distribution, partner and sales infrastructure in place. With Exertis, we see a natural fit with their close partnerships with Lenovo, Dell, Fujitsu and Huawei. The combined x86 server plus DataCore software opportunities that these brands offer, are limitless for the UK Channel, as users become aware that application performance and database transaction issues can be solved with off-the –shelf software enabled servers, avoiding costly flash arrays.”
