Avnet to help partners in Brazil, Colombia and Mexico grow their cloud and converged infrastructure businesses
Avnet,
Inc. (NYSE:AVT),
a leading global technology distributor, and Riverbed
Technology, the application performance company, have expanded their
distribution relationship. Avnet will now provide Riverbed solutions in
three Latin
American countries, Brazil, Colombia and Mexico. This builds upon
Avnet’s existing relationship with Riverbed in North America and the
United Kingdom.
“Avnet’s partners are committed to transforming technology into business
solutions for their customers, and Riverbed’s technology plays a
critical role in creating complete cloud, converged and hyper-converged
solutions,” said Eduardo Barrón, vice president, Avnet Technology
Solutions, Latin America and the Caribbean. “Our partners will be able
to use Riverbed’s technology to optimize bandwidth to improve the
service levels of customers’ hybrid cloud initiatives, while increasing
customers’ processing, data centralization, recovery and performance
management abilities. Our new relationship with Riverbed aligns to our
strategic priorities of geographic and portfolio expansion, and working
with Avnet and Riverbed, our partners will optimize customers’ IT
investments.”
With Riverbed, partners can help their customers implement strategic
initiatives, such as virtualization, consolidation, cloud computing and
disaster recovery, and Riverbed’s solutions are a critical component in
converged and hyper-converged infrastructures. Avnet will now offer
partners the Riverbed family of solutions that assist their customers in
increasing application performance, strengthening the management of
remote and branch office (ROBO) IT, and improving network performance
management – all while enhancing the value of their existing IT
infrastructure and mission-critical applications. This will accelerate
applications, such as file sharing, email, backup, document management
systems, IT tools and ERP and CRM solutions.
“Avnet's solutions-based distribution approach and their highly
knowledgeable partner community provides Riverbed with a significant
opportunity to help customers of all sizes improve business
performance,” said Cecil Perez, vice president, Sales – Latin America at
Riverbed. “We expanded our relationship with Avnet into Latin America
because of their proven expertise in providing partners with the
