Avnet selected as a NetApp Authorized Distributor for the region, furthering its capabilities in Peru
Avnet,
Inc. (NYSE: AVT),
a leading global technology distributor, has been named one of only two
NetApp Authorized Distributors for the Latin
America and Caribbean region. With this designation, Avnet will now
assist NetApp in growing its solution provider and value-added reseller
(VAR) partner community in Peru, adding to those markets where Avnet has
existing NetApp relationships, including: Argentina, Brazil, Chile,
Colombia, Ecuador, Mexico, Central America and the Caribbean. The
extended reach of the company’s NetApp relationship builds on Avnet’s
recently announced plans to expand into the rapidly growing Peru market.
“The Avnet team has done a phenomenal job of helping our partners grow
their converged infrastructure and storage businesses,” said Eduardo
Barron, vice president, Avnet Technology Solutions, Latin America and
the Caribbean. “NetApp selected Avnet to be one of their primary
distributors in Latin America and the Caribbean because of our proven
expertise in sales and business development, technical knowledge and
storage expertise, as well as our financial strength and geographic
reach. We will continue to apply our capabilities to further fuel our
partners’ growth, and introduce these capabilities in Peru to accelerate
the success of partners in that market.”
Avnet provides NetApp partners with storage solutions, enabling them to
offer unique converged and hyper-converged infrastructure solutions, as
well as data center automation and data management solutions, to their
end customers. Avnet supports partners with opportunities across a wide
range of markets that are ideal for converged infrastructure solutions,
including banking, government, manufacturing and telecommunications.
Partners can also take advantage of Avnet’s cloud expertise to
incorporate hybrid cloud capabilities into their solutions.
“Our expanded relationship with NetApp in Latin America and the
Caribbean opens the door to a wealth of opportunities in Peru and
strengthens Avnet’s position as the leader in designing and delivering
converged infrastructure solutions,” said Dee Dee Lear, senior vice
president of Emerging Channels, Avnet Technology Solutions, Americas.
“We will be able to help our partners quickly begin building world-class
converged infrastructure businesses in Peru, based on the expertise
we’ve developed in generating more than $1 billion in converged
solutions sales annually. Also, our partners throughout the region will
be able to turn to the Avnet
Global Solutions Center for complete integration services and access
to complementary offerings.”
“NetApp and Avnet are helping our business partners succeed in IT,” said
Larry Bowman, vice president, Latin America, NetApp. “The benefits of
this 10-year partnership now extend into Latin America and the
Caribbean. We look forward to providing expanded support in Peru for our
partners to gain market share with industry-leading solutions designed
for a wide array of markets.”
Avnet has deep NetApp expertise. It supports NetApp in countries around
the world, including the Americas; Asia Pacific; and Europe, the Middle
East and Africa. Based on its proven ability to add value to NetApp’s
products and transform them into business solutions, Avnet was recently
