ANS regroups around key trio

Cisco, VMware and NetApp to form core of VAR's offering as it reveals full-year revenue rise

Reseller ANS is repositioning its business around three core vendors after celebrating a 25 per cent spike in annual sales.

The Manchester-based VAR claims it is set to record a 25 per cent increase in turnover for its year to 31 March. Last year it grew turnover by 64 per cent to £10.3m.

Paul Sweeney, managing director of ANS Group, said: “We are retraining and refocusing the business around Cisco, VMware and NetApp. Cisco has some exciting plans for virtualisation -­ ANS will follow in its direction.

“More customers are moving to Microsoft, so legacy has been declining ­ Novell was not growing for us.”
