Arrow Collaborates with Immersive to Offer Comprehensive FlexPod™ Validation and Support Services
March 31 2015 - 11:04AM
Business Wire
Arrow Electronics, Inc. (NYSE:ARW) today announced that it is
collaborating with Immersive Partner Solutions to offer a
comprehensive, integrated and automated validation solution that
optimizes the availability and performance of FlexPod™ converged
infrastructures. Immersive’s full-lifecycle solution delivers a
distinct competitive advantage for FlexPod architecture sellers and
servicers.
FlexPod is an integrated computing, networking, and storage
solution developed by Cisco and NetApp. Immersive's Converged
Infrastructure Deployment Assurance Tool (CIDAT) for FlexPod
enables value-added resellers (VARs) to validate FlexPod
configurations—based on validated designs and technical reports
from Cisco and NetApp—in significantly less time than a manual
configuration validation takes.
“Immersive’s CIDAT for FlexPod provides Arrow’s value-added
resellers with a unique way to differentiate their FlexPod
offerings,” said Troy Fortune, vice president of North American
sales for the NetApp business at Arrow. “At Arrow, we are always
looking to connect our customers with innovative and value-added
solutions that help them stay ahead of the curve.”
In addition to deployment validation, Immersive’s solution
enables VARs to grow their revenue around FlexPod lifecycle
management through value-add services, including remote-managed
services, continuous support, proactive hardware upgrades and more.
The partnership with Immersive will also provide Arrow customers
with access to Immersive’s team for assistance with FlexPod
configuration and validation needs.
“I was privileged to be part of the team that built and launched
the FlexPod solution into the marketplace,” said Keith Barto,
president and chief executive officer of Immersive Partner
Solutions. “I started Immersive to meet the specific requests we
were getting from customers and resellers for a centralized FlexPod
support portal that would improve their visibility into FlexPod
environments. I’m excited to collaborate with Arrow to offer our
CIDAT for FlexPod solutions to even greater numbers of VARs and IT
professionals around the world.”
