its partners a comprehensive and feature-rich reseller program that
capitalizes on providing field-proven product offerings in fast-growing

This is complemented by a highly efficient and experienced partner
ecosystem that meets customers’ business needs. Avnet is the ideal
partner to solve our distribution, brand positioning, education, market
and sales development needs that are critical to Mellanox’s continued
business success.”
