Arrow inks global Lenovo TruScale distribution deal

The agreement will deliver Infrastructure-as-a-Service via ArrowSphere

Arrow Electronics has landed a global agreement with Lenovo to deliver its TruScale Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) solution.

TruScale IaaS operates on a consumption-based subscription model that allows companies to use and pay for datacentre solutions - on-premise or at a customer-preferred location - without having to purchase the equipment.

Delivered through Arrow's cloud management platform, ArrowSphere, TruScale will provide customers with a flexible cloud experience coupled with the security and control of an on-premises solution.

"ArrowSphere now provides global access to customers wanting TruScale offerings. With simplicity, security and control, customers can now scale without any incremental capital investments," said Eric Nowak, president of Arrow's enterprise computing solutions business in EMEA.

"Together we are delivering a flexible, scalable, and secure cloud offering globally."

Lenovo TruScale is a core part of Lenovo's overall transformation strategy, led by its Solutions and Services Group (SSG).

Lenovo SSG brings together all of Lenovo's IT solutions and services across PC, infrastructure, and smart verticals including support, managed, project and solution service offerings into one dedicated organisation.

"Lenovo TruScale Infrastructure-as-a-Service helps channel partners lead the way in customer innovation and experience," said Lenovo's EMEA president of its infrastructure solutions group, Giovanni Di Filippo.

"We empower them to seize every customer opportunity with access to a breadth of scalable, fully integrated solutions, which they can offer through a flexible, pay-as-you-grow model.

"As a result, they can generate more sustainable revenue streams as they accelerate business growth by offering their customers innovation without limits."
