DNS Arrow has signed an agreement with Xsigo to be a strategic distributor across the UK. The agreement will help organizations to realize the full benefits of virtualization with integrated solutions that incorporate server, storage, and I/O virtualization technologies.

Virtual I/O (input/output) plays an important role in realizing the full benefits of virtualization by eliminating the bottlenecks and management limitations associated with traditional server I/O. Without effective server I/O, service levels can be reduced, resulting in under-utilization of assets. DNS Arrow is one of Europe’s leaders in virtualization, and through its partnership with Xsigo will now have Europe ’s leading virtualization ecosystem.

The partnership with Xsigo expands DNS Arrow’s end-to-end range of value-added virtualization offerings, including tape, disk, storage, SAN and desktop solutions. As part of the announcement, DNS Arrow will be launching the product in a certified program into the enterprise marketplace.

Yuri Pasea, Director, Access & Virtualization, DNS Arrow, commented: “Xsigo is the leader in I/O virtualization and is therefore a great fit for DNS Arrow. The industry is embracing virtualization like never before and we are perfectly positioned to meet this demand. By bringing together Xsigo’s expertise in virtual I/O with DNS Arrow’s, we are able to put together the most complete virtualization offering.”

Charlie Will, Vice President, International Sales, Xsigo Systems commented: “To get the most from virtualization technologies, customers need well-integrated end-to-end solutions. This partnership with DNS Arrow will provide our customers with the full range of products and services needed to stay at the forefront of technology. DNS Arrow is a leader in its field and the ideal partner for Xsigo’s technology.”
