CommVault, Avnet Technology Solutions Ink Distribution Deal
CommVault has just signed a strategic distribution agreement through Avnet Technology Solutions. Here’s a look at the relationship and the potential implications for Avnet’s channel partners.
CommVault’s flagship product is Simpana, a software platform that provides backup, replication, archive, search and resource management. It’s safe to expect Avnet to connect the dots between its StoragePath focus and CommVault’s offerings. And there are clues that CommVault could play a role in Avnet’s CloudReady strategy.
Also, Avnet and CommVault seem to be working on a global scale; the duo has existing relationships in place across the UK, Ireland, Singapore, Malaysia and Australia.

This is at least a year overdue.
Arrow sent a response out this morning to their resellers. Touting their programs, and their deep experience with the Commvault line. Problem is, their “experienced” people have long been gone, or “redeployed” within the organization.
Avnet has a fantastic opportunity to make hay with Commvault on a grand scale.
