New solutions increase U.S. and Canadian partners’ ability to provide customers with secure hybrid cloud solutions
Avnet,
Inc. (NYSE: AVT),
a leading global technology distributor, today enhanced the ability of
Avnet partners in the U.S. and Canada to help their customers easily
support off-premise and hybrid cloud environments. Avnet will now offer
solutions from CenturyLink
and IO
that enable partners to provide their customers with solutions based on
off-premise, co-located data center models. These solutions suit a range
of offsite data center and infrastructure co-location needs, including
data center expansions, redundancy support and migrations. Partners will
be able to profit from these solutions through either a referral model
or a resale model.
“Avnet makes it simpler than ever for partners to capitalize on the
growing demand among customers for hybrid cloud environments,” said Tim
FitzGerald, vice president of Avnet’s Cloud Solutions business in the
Americas. “Our new co-location solutions combined with the strength of
Avnet’s cloud and hybrid data center services will help partners quickly
solve for common customer challenges in the cloud, including cost,
performance and security. This is another great example of how Avnet
continues to innovate its cloud solutions that span the entire hybrid
data center solutions stack, including design, integration, delivery,
implementation, migration and disposal.”
Avnet will help partners quickly and easily begin offering these
co-location solutions with its customized hybrid data center solution
offerings. These offerings require no upfront capital requirements and
feature highly available redundant and blended bandwidth, and secure
access to enterprise-class data centers. Additionally, partners can
leverage Avnet’s
IT services, including orchestration and automation, to create more
complete offerings for cloud solutions.
Partners can access cloud solutions through the Avnet
Cloud Marketplace. This one-stop shop offers access to comprehensive
solutions from leading cloud service providers, flexible payment models
and Avnet’s sophisticated management and optimization tools. The Avnet
