AccelStor has chosen CMS Distribution to push its NeoSapphire all-flash arrays across Europe. CMS Distribution will provide qualified teams of sales and technical specialists to help system integrators, VARs and IT solution providers to fulfill end-user requirements.
The all-flash arrays are powered by the vendor's FlexiRemap software and are designed to deliver sustained high IOPS for business-critical applications, it says.
David Kao, AccelStor VP, said: “We have great faith in CMS' storage expertise and their trusted status among channel partners. Flash storage is growing in recognition as being the most cost-effective storage solution for primary storage applications. With CMS we can continue to provide future-ready IT solutions to data-driven organisations.”
Trevor Pluskota, chief technology officer at CMS Distribution, said: “NeoSapphire offers massively superior storage performance, translating into more responsive business applications and faster system transactions and analysis of data. Flash storage provides new growth opportunities for our customers, and we will add extensive value in this segment with a highly specialised team to deliver pre-sales, technical support and training.”
Earlier this year, data backup and management vendor Commvault said it aimed to grow its managed services business with a strategic partnership with CMS, which would transact as both a distributor and aggregator of Commvault licenses.
CMS Distribution says it has 3,500 resellers, and employs over 350 staff working with over 80 vendors from 12 locations. AccelStor is headquartered in Taiwan and its EMEA office is located in Dunstable, near Luton, UK.
