HONG KONG, Dec. 22, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Westcon Solutions, the regional distributor with worldwide practices focused on cloud, global deployment, services, security, UCC, networking and data centre, is excited to announce its partnership with SimpliVity to distribute the company's leading hyperconverged infrastructure platform – OmniCube and OmniStack integrated solutions – across Asia, including Singapore, Hong Kong, mainland China, and Taiwan.
"After seeing SimpliVity's success with Westcon-Comstor's business in Europe, we were thrilled to extend our partnership with them to the Asia-Pacific region," said Patrick Aronson, VP, Asia Westcon-Comstor. "Hyperconvergence is one of the fastest-growing segments in IT and more enterprises are seeing SimpliVity's transformational value. We want to help our partners harness that opportunity so their customers can quickly understand the OmniCube and OmniStack's economic benefits by simplifying the data centre."
SimpliVity's hyperconverged infrastructure consolidates all infrastructure and data services below the hypervisor into a single unified stack running on x86 building blocks. By radically simplifying the legacy infrastructure stack, OmniCube and OmniStack deliver the performance, reliability, availability, security, and data protection that enterprises require – but with the economics of the cloud. The result can be as much as three times TCO savings.
"Customers across the globe have already been realizing SimpliVity's substantial cost savings and benefits, but our partnership with Westcon Solutions will extend our reach even further," said Scott Morris, vice president, Asia Pacific and Japan, Sales at SimpliVity. "Our new partnership complements our presence in Singapore and rapidly expands our coverage in Hong Kong, mainland China and Taiwan, giving SimpliVity the opportunity to transform even more enterprises across the globe."
