Arrow Electronics has added functionality to its cloud management platform to support more everything-as-a-service (XaaS) options.
Extra services include more hybrid and multi-load monitoring options under the bonnet of its ArrowSphere platform.
The company said that its partners are increasingly offering multi-cloud support to customers to ensure they can meet the demands of users operating across various flavours of public and private cloud.
Arrow added updates that focus on sustainability, cost optimisation and security. Adding the GreenOps, FinOps, and SecOps dashboards allows partners to increase the visibility of key areas of concern for customers.
ArrowSphere global vice-president Shannon McWilliams said: “As the market dynamics shift to XaaS, Arrow is launching new cloud assessment and management tools through a platform-driven experience on ArrowSphere to help channel partners scale XaaS in their customer accounts.”
“Our roadmap for ArrowSphere will continue to support our channel partners through business transformations, including economic, environmental, and security changes,” she added.
Eric Gourmelen, global vice-president, and chief technology officer of cloud for Arrow’s enterprise computing solutions business, said the latest enhancements were part of an evolution of the platform as the distributor responded to the changing needs of partners.
“Over the last decade, ArrowSphere has evolved from a transactional platform to an automated platform that supports cloud business excellence,” he said.
“Our latest updates focus on simplifying and building transparency around managing costs, monitoring sustainability, and helping to ensure that end-user solutions are safeguarded against the ever-changing threat landscape,” he added.
