Arrow Electronics announced that it has entered into a strategic agreement with HiveIO in UK. Arrow Electronics will be the key distributor for HiveIO in the UK and offer its channel customers the industry’s first hyperconverged fabric solution – Hive Fabric.

As a leading technology enablement company that brings innovative IT solutions to market to solve complex business challenges, Arrow adds HiveIO to its broad portfolio of best-of-breed solutions that are designed to help businesses grow faster, operate efficiently and transform in a dynamic market.

Current IT architecture requires highly skilled specialists with a range of certifications to manage the data center. Offering all the components of a hyperconverged solution, Hive Fabric addresses the performance, scale, and security that enterprises demand while eliminating complex licensing and multi-vendor integration and management that come with traditional hyperconverged infrastructure. HiveIO delivers next-generation technology replacing the entire stack with the only zero-layer, hardware and vendor agnostic architecture on the market.

“This agreement is very exciting for both organizations,” said Mark McHale, vice president UK & Ireland of Arrow`s enterprise computing solutions business. “It combines HiveIO’s innovative approach to software-defined data center with Arrow’s strong portfolio and capabilities for the channel. Hive Fabric offers significant value to our customers and will enable them to build a powerful data center. We are confident that we will increase hyperconverged fabric adoption amongst our customers.”

Dan Newton, CEO HiveIO said, “This agreement enables Arrow and HiveIO to bring the benefits of hyperconverged fabric to many more customers and provide these customers with innovative and trendsetting technology.
