Cloud, IoT, and virtualization solutions are key elements of Arrow's overall services and solutions portfolio. The agreement with NVIDIA opens up a wealth of new data center business opportunities for the IT channel, encompassing infrastructure compliance, virtual desktop infrastructure, virtual graphics processing, servers, high-performance computing (HPC), and storage. NVIDIA's solutions will complement Arrow's existing service offerings from global market leaders, providing value-added resellers and solution providers with enhanced value and a single source for building their customers' data centers.
The agreement will enable the channel community to cross-sell virtual GPUs with other infrastructure solutions, among other things. It will equip the channel to address end-customer needs in future use cases such as artificial intelligence, IoT, blockchain, and other technologies driven by big data and requiring high-speed computing
NVIDIA vGPU provides users with scalable and cost-effective performance in virtual and cloud environments, while the NVIDIA Tesla platform is designed for the most demanding hyperscale and high-performance computing workloads in the data center. NVIDIA DGX is the world's first portfolio of deep learning systems designed specifically for AI and analytics.
“Through our new strategic agreement with NVIDIA, our channel customers will have the opportunity to generate new business in the next-generation data center to address computing, hyperscale, and consumer Internet and cloud applications across nearly every industry,” said Alexis Brabant, Vice President of Sales for EMEA at Arrow’s Enterprise Computing Solutions business unit. “NVIDIA is perfectly positioned and growing strongly in the data center market, and together, Arrow and NVIDIA enable the channel to prepare, in particular, for the tremendously fast-growing business based on AI training and AI inference.”.
“As artificial intelligence increasingly requires parallel access to massive amounts of data, the demand for high-performance computing and virtual graphics processing in the data center is growing significantly,” said Richard Jackson, head of EMEA Partner Organization at NVIDIA. “Cloud computing has transformed information technology, and now is the time for the channel to enter the accelerated computing environment to help its customers achieve strategic advantages based on NVIDIA innovations and the unique Arrow ecosystem and value-added services.”.
