Magirus signs with Avocent

Distributor will carry out-of-band IT management offerings

Written by Doug Woodburn

Magirus has continued its IT management push by signing a pan-European agreement with Avocent.

The distributor will push Avocent’s range of out-of-band IT management offerings to infrastructure resellers in six European countries, including the UK, alongside its existing in-band products from Hewlett-Packard OpenView and Tivoli.

Avocent – which recently completed its acquisition of LANDesk – already works through Computerlinks in the value-add space.

Thomas Kucher, director of new business at Magirus, said: “We can offer VARs a whole experience of IT infrastructure.

“Computerlinks has an excellent knowledge of security, but it’s a fraction of the knowledge we have of the data centre.”
