Arrow scores global agreement with Lenovo

Arrow Electronics has landed a global agreement with Lenovo to deliver its TruScale Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS).

For those not in the know, TruScale IaaS operates on a consumption-based subscription model that allows companies to use and pay for datacentre solutions – on-premise or at a customer-preferred location – without having to purchase the equipment.

The idea is to deliver the service using Arrow’s cloud management platform, ArrowSphere, to provide customers with a flexible cloud coupled with the security and control of an on-premises solution.

Arrow president Eric Nowak said: “ArrowSphere now provides global access to customers wanting TruScale offerings. With simplicity, security and control, customers can now scale without any incremental capital investments. Together we are delivering a flexible, scalable, and secure cloud offering globally.”

Lenovo’s EMEA president of its infrastructure solutions group, Giovanni Di Filippo said that Lenovo TruScale Infrastructure-as-a-Service helps channel partners lead the way in customer innovation and experience.

“We empower them to seize every customer opportunity with access to a breadth of scalable, fully integrated solutions, which they can offer through a flexible, pay-as-you-grow model. As a result, they can generate more sustainable revenue streams as they accelerate business growth by offering their customers innovation without limits,” he said.
