Arrow Electronics, Inc. (NYSE: ARW) today announced that VMware
has selected Arrow as an Aggregator in the VMware vCloud Air
Network Program (formerly known as the VMware Service Provider
Program) in the United States and Canada, in addition to current
availability in the Europe region. Arrow will deliver the complete
vCloud Air Network Program framework as part of the ArrowSphere
cloud marketplace, which allows service providers and hosting
providers to acquire VMware products in a way that aligns with
their subscription-based business models.
Driven by increasing demand for Arrow’s cloud solutions from
cloud builders and resellers, this relationship will expand the
reach of the full breadth of VMware’s portfolio.
“Leveraging our experience as one of VMware’s largest
distribution partners, Arrow continues to make significant
investments to grow and enhance its capabilities with VMware, now
as an Aggregation partner for service providers,” said Sean Kerins,
president of Arrow’s global enterprise computing solutions
business. “VMware delivers industry-leading virtualization and
cloud computing capabilities that greatly enhance the Arrow cloud
line card and complement our cloud builders’ offerings. Our service
providers are now able to utilize the vCloud Air Network that
offers a pay-as-you-go license rental model, providing flexibility
in service delivery in building public, private and hybrid cloud
solutions for their customers.”
“We are pleased to have selected Arrow as an Aggregator for the
VMware vCloud Air Network Program, making VMware’s products
available through a licensing program built for service providers’
unique business models,” said Jim Aluotto, director, Service
Provider Business, Americas Region, VMware. “Arrow’s investment in
cloud-enabling capabilities, such as the ArrowSphere platform, and
its ongoing success, positions us to help service providers develop
their own cloud computing solutions to differentiate their
offerings and accelerate growth opportunities.”
The VMware vCloud Air Network Program was created for
organizations that offer cloud computing and/or hosted IT services
to enterprise and small business customers. Arrow, through its
ArrowSphere platform, extends the vCloud Air Network subscription
program, providing companies with significant automation to remove
the complexities of provisioning, usage management, billing and
reporting.
Through the flexibility of the ArrowSphere platform, solution
providers may leverage various engagement paths: Arrow-managed,
solution provider-managed, customer-managed or by connecting
through an existing e-commerce engine. ArrowSphere simplifies the
management of multiple cloud providers and enables the solution
provider’s cloud business by creating a highly desirable customer
experience and automating the provisioning and billing of cloud
services. Managed service providers can utilize ArrowSphere to
integrate their own services with cloud services and cloud-builder
products. For more information, email
