Beta boosts storage play with Drobo addition

Vendor formerly known as Data Robotics appoints London print distie

Print specialist Beta Distribution has added to its burgeoning storage range after being appointed by Drobo.

The East End distributor will take stock of the vendor's Drobo Mini and Drobo 5 D products. Other storage vendors in the firm's portfolio include TDK, Maxell, Memorex, Quantum and StorageTek. It joins CMS Peripherals in Drobo's UK distribution stable.

Marcus Thompson, sales director at Drobo, said: "We need to partner with distributors who can see the solutions our products deliver and have a customer base able to grasp the opportunity on offer. Beta certainly fits the bill."

Ben Jackson, product manager at Beta, added: "Our focus has been to introduce products and brands that bring ready-made solutions to our customer base. Although backup and storage requirements are becoming increasingly complex, the products we are adding to our range deal with these complexities while at the same time making the market accessible to a broader range of dealers and resellers. Drobo continues this theme."
