Hammer and Bell Microproducts in discussions
Distributors in talks about Hammer Storage
Storage distributors Hammer and Bell Microproducts have been in discussions regarding the launch of a new product division in the US by Bell called Hammer Storage.
Bell’s Hammer Storage division services the SME and workgroup sector in the US, with products such as storage over IP. UK-based Hammer offers more than 1,000 products and services to storage VARs.
James Ward, managing director of Hammer, said: “We have been trading in the UK and Europe under the name Hammer for more than 15 years and are very well known in the storage market. We have no comment in relation to Bell Micro’s Hammer. We are Hammer in Europe.”
Graeme Watt, president of Bell Micro Europe, told CRN: “Hammer Storage is a US-only initiative and we have no plans to do anything with the brand in Europe at this stage.”
