Aligned with its commitment to provide a comprehensive portfolio of
enterprise solutions for the data center, Arrow Enterprise Computing
Solutions, a business segment of Arrow Electronics Inc. [NYSE: ARW], has
signed a North American distribution agreement with Trend Micro.
"We believe the addition of Trend Micro will be a competitive
differentiator for Arrow ECS and for our solution providers. Trend Micro
was recently recognized as a worldwide leader in server and
virtualization security and its virtualization and centrally managed
security solutions are in high demand among IT managers," said Joe
Burke, vice president of Arrow ECS' North American enterprise storage,
security, service, virtualization and networking practices. "IT managers
are increasingly challenged with maintaining consistent security across
complex virtualized environments. The Trend Micro security suite further
enables our solution providers to support their customers' needs with
proven, leading-edge enterprise-class solutions for building secure
virtualized and cloud computing platforms.
Through the agreement, Arrow ECS will connect its data-center-focused
solution providers with Trend Micro technology to serve enterprise and
midmarket customers. The content-security and threat-management
solutions are designed as high-performance solutions that securely
protect the exchange of digital information in physical, virtualized and
cloud environments.
"Arrow ECS was selected as a Trend Micro North American value-added
distributor based on its laser-like focus on enterprise solutions,
extensive support for solution providers and comprehensive portfolio of
complementary data-center solutions," said Gil Morales, director,
channel sales, for Trend Micro. "Arrow ECS' established midmarket
hardware focus and VMware business was of particular interest given
Trend Micro Deep Security solutions are fully virtual-aware and tightly
integrated with VMware products."
