Tandberg Data has re-shuffled its UK distribution line-up after parting company with Enta Technologies and rekindling ties with Micro-Peripherals (Micro-P).

Gary Preston, a sales director for EMEA at Tandberg Data, admitted that Tandberg’s partnership with Enta did not work.
The backup and archiving vendor split from Micro-P in 2005 following a four-year partnership.

“Since the last partnership we had, Micro-P has broadened its depth of customers and now has a good storage team,” he explained.

Micro-P will push Tandberg’s portfolio of tape libraries, tape autoloaders, tape drives, disk-based storage and data media to its 8,000 channel partners.

Tandberg will continue to work with distributors CMS Peripherals and Northamber.

Mark Kahr Vendorand, marketing director at Micro-P, said: “It makes perfect sense for the partnership to resume and further develop the total solutions offering to Micro-P’s customer base.”
