Global technology provider Arrow Electronics has added Pure as-a-Service and Pure Cloud Block Store to ArrowSphere, its global cloud delivery and management platform. Under the agreement with Pure Storage.
The solutions will be available to channel customers in a number of regions and countries across Europe, including the UK, Belgium and Netherlands, Denmark, Finland, France, Italy, Spain and Sweden.
Pure as-a-Service is a service-oriented flexible consumption model for delivering Pure’s solutions in a pay-as-you-go format. Pure as-a-Service helps deliver more than simply operating expense savings, it transforms customers’ enterprise infrastructure environments by providing services, such as monitoring, service-level objectives (SLOs), and specific service level agreements (SLAs).
It supports block, file, and object storage services that can be deployed on-premise, in a co-location facility, and in the public cloud. A significant part of the economic benefit brought by as-a-service models is clear per-unit pricing, which allows customers to scope and price projects based upon outcomes, not the hardware required to deliver them.
Arrow’s vice president Alexis Brabant said: “The global cloud and the ‘as-a-service’ market continues to grow and, as a premier solutions provider, we have built industry-leading platforms and formed vendor alliances that make it easier for our customers to capitalise on the opportunity.
“ArrowSphere is designed to simplify the connection between cloud and ‘as a service’ providers, channel partners and end-users, enabling channel partners to build tailored multi-vendor solutions for their clients. By adding Pure as-a-Service and Pure Cloud Block Store to ArrowSphere, our customers can easily purchase and manage their Pure Storage and AWS subscriptions in one place.”
