Avnet and Veeam enable channel partners to
better address their customers’ IT needs
Avnet Technology Solutions, the global IT solutions distribution
leader and an operating group of Avnet, Inc. (NYSE: AVT), expanded
its distribution agreement with Veeam® Software, the innovative
provider of solutions that deliver Availability for the Modern Data
Center™. Specifically, Avnet will now offer its solution provider
partners in the U.S. and Canada Veeam availability solutions. This
expands upon the existing distribution relationship between Avnet
and Veeam in Europe.
Veeam is a key component in many converged infrastructure
solutions, providing vital backup, disaster recovery and
virtualization management capabilities to enable the Always-on
Business™. Combining Veeam’s products and Avnet’s market-proven
expertise, these offerings will allow channel partners to more
effectively address their customers’ business needs.
“The addition of Veeam Software to Avnet’s portfolio in the U.S.
and Canada will enable our partners to offer their customers a
deeper level of protection and availability in the critical areas
of backup and recovery,” said Sergio Farache, Avnet Technology
Solutions, Americas, Solutions and Strategy group. “Avnet’s
expanded relationship with Veeam significantly enhances our
converged infrastructure capabilities. Our partners will be able to
capitalize on Avnet’s unique position as a distributor of Cisco,
HP, NetApp and VMware, to develop Cisco UCS®, FlexPod and Vblock –
the converged infrastructure solutions that include Veeam’s
complementary software technology.”
Veeam is one of the primary virtual machine backup and
replication solutions for VMware, while Avnet is the only Veeam
distributor to have Cisco, EMC, HP, NetApp and VMware together on
its line card. Key benefits of Veeam-based availability solutions
include:
- High-speed
recovery to enable aggressive recovery time objectives
(RTOs) and the rapid recovery of data in the required form.
- Data-loss
avoidance with near continuous data protection and
streamlined disaster recovery to avoid data loss by enabling very
low recovery point objectives (RPOs) and facilitating off-site data
protection.
- Verified
protection to enable every file, application or virtual
server to be reliably restored when needed – ensuring business
resiliency through automated backup and disaster recovery
testing.
- Leveraged
data for application deployment, configuration changes
and other testing scenarios.
- Complete
visibility of the backup environment and virtual
infrastructure using proactive monitoring and alerting tools to
discover and receive alerts for issues and potential problems
before they can significantly impact operations.
“Veeam and Avnet fully recognize that organizations must operate
24/7/365 in today’s new business era,” said Chris Moore, senior
director, North American Channels, Veeam Software. “To address
this, Veeam has pioneered a new market of Availability for the
Modern Data Center by helping organizations meet recovery time and
point objectives (RTPO™) of 15 minutes or less
for all applications and data. Veeam Availability Suite™, which
includes Veeam Backup & Replication™, leverages virtualization,
storage, and cloud technologies that enable the modern data center
to help organizations save time, mitigate risks, and dramatically
reduce capital and operational costs.”
“Avnet looks forward to offering the Veeam portfolio of premium
services to our partners,” said Eric Berry, vice president, new
partner acquisition, Avnet Technology Solutions, Americas. “Veeam’s
availability solutions are an ideal complement to Avnet’s strategy
of enabling our partners to strategically grow their businesses in
the channel and transform technology into business solutions for
customers around the world.”
Avnet recently celebrated its five-year anniversary with Veeam
in Europe. Since 2009, Avnet and Veeam have joined forces to
benefit partners in Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, Italy,
Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Spain,
Switzerland, Turkey, and the U.K. In addition, since 2012, Avnet
