Channel veteran Grahame Smee has acquired specialist distributor Appspeed for an undisclosed sum.
Smee, who is also managing director of distributor Cohort Technology, exclusively told CRN that Appspeed - which specialises in virtualisation, storage and server-based computing – would be a good fit for his future plans.
“We are delighted at this acquisition,” Smee said. “Appspeed has a great range of emerging products and the virtualisation, storage and server-based computing market is one we have wanted to get into. This is going to give us access to a broader breadth of reseller and vendors, and will also help our existing resellers get into new areas.“

Smee said it was too early to discuss any potential changes to the company structure, but admitted there would be some ‘combining of assets’ at the back-office.
“We don’t want to dilute any sale specialisation that we have got,” he said.
He also confirmed he would be taking over as managing director of Appspeed with
immediate effect.
