IT distributor Avnet Technology Solutions has launched a line of cloud services in Singapore.
Avnet Cloud Services have been designed to allow resellers to enter the fast-growing cloud services market with no upfront investment.
“Our cloud services represent a paradigm shift for the IT channel and change the basic assumptions of what traditional IT distributors can offer,” said Michael Costigan, vice president of marketing and business innovation for the Asia Pacific at Avnet Technology Solutions.
“We believe this is a game-changer for our channel's value proposition, and we look forward to accelerating our partners' success as they enter the lucrative cloud services market.”
Avnet Cloud Services forms part of the newly created services division and specializes in 99.999% availability hosted private cloud, virtualization and disaster recovery solutions. Avnet currently has one data center in Singapore, two in Sydney, Australia, and one in Melbourne, Australia.
The high-security data centers are ISO 27001 security certified. In addition, the Australia data centers also have the Australian Government ASIO T4 security certification. Twenty-five Avnet engineers support the data centers 24x7x365. The support operation is also ISO 27001 certified.
