TD SYNNEX donates old office furniture to charity

TD SYNNEX has donated its old furniture with a fair market value of £158,828 – via redistribution specialist charity, the Waste to Wonder Trust – to UK charities and schools in Senegal and Cameroon.

The cycling back of desks, chairs and other items has resulted in 135,205 kilograms of carbon savings. With 100per cent all materials being re-used, all of the furniture or equipment that TD SYNNEX has yet to be recycled will go to landfill.

The donation was made as part TD SYNNEX’s recent re-location of its Basingstoke offices to a more energy-efficient building last month. At the same time, TD SYNNEX took the opportunity to purchase new sustainable office furniture, including new office chairs made from recycled fishing nets.

TD SYNNEX slashes out helping partners sell HCI

TD SYNNEX has announced a series of investments to help partners flogging Nutanix DX hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI) solutions.

TD SYNNEX Matt Child said that HCI market will grow at a CAGR of 24.9 per cent and will reach $32.19 billion by 2028.

“HCI can massively escalate the productivity, efficiency and cost benefits of digital transformation. It is one of our big bets for 2023 and a huge opportunity for partners to add value for their enterprise customers by optimising and orchestrating all their resources across the public and private cloud and on-premises,” he said.

TD SYNNEX launches Cybersecurity Ecosystems initiative

TD SYNNEX is launching a new Cybersecurity Ecosystems initiative designed to bring together partners with complementary skills in different areas of digital security to form new alliances that will benefit mutual end-user customers and partners.

This new community will draw on all the security-as-a-service, support and educational capabilities of the TD SYNNEX security practice. These include the Security Practice Builder, which enables partners to develop their capacity and establish their own cybersecurity services business. In addition, partners can access TD SYNNEX’s RECON Security Suite services portfolio of managed and subscription-based services. These include identity and access management, security consulting, SOCaaS, and backup and recovery.

TD SYNNEX gives partners anti-fraud detection

TD SYNNEX has launched a new pre-configured anti-fraud solution that enables cloud partners to detect, prevent and remediate against potential attacks, particularly Microsoft Azure small business customers.

Small businesses that do not have their own IT team or cybersecurity team can be especially vulnerable to crypto mining attacks, where criminals hijack cloud accounts to spin up servers that they then use to produce cryptocurrencies.

The TD SYNNEX SMB Fraud Defender has been developed to help businesses increase the security posture of their cloud environment and thus reduce the risk of them falling foul of this practice and other fraudulent activities.

TD SYNNEX UK Microsoft business unit manager Darren Dixon said: “Cybercrime is globally impacting organisations regardless of industry or company size, with spearfishing being one of the most common techniques being used to gain initial organisational access.

TD SYNNEX reaches 90 percent renewable energy

TD SYNNEX claims to be switching to green energy at its Magna Park warehouse at Lutterworth  from the start of the new financial year.

The move means that – along with the planned relocation of the Basingstoke office next month – from January 2023 more than 90 per cent of the electricity consumed by TD SYNNEX in the UK will be coming from renewable sources. The outfit’s Warrington office was already using renewable sources and the Basingstoke office will move to green power when it is relocated to a nearby, more energy-efficient building in January 2023. This facility also has over 500 solar panels on the roof.

Channel’s service focus is paying off

The channel is continuing to focus on services and looking to ensure it has strong sustainability as it looks ahead, according to new research from distributor TD Synnex.

The research, based on a benchmark survey carried out by Canalys, found that almost three-quarters of partners expect to sell more managed services in the next three years.

With pressure rising to have a story around environmental, social and governance (ESG), the distie found that 40 percent were also looking to offer sustainability/ESG reporting within the next two years, TD Synnex said.

Tech Data brand mothballed

It is the end of an error as Tech Data has changed its name to TD SYNNEX.

Tech Data and SYNNEX created the world’s largest IT distributor when they closed their $7.2 billion merger last September.

The rebrand  applies to the wider European region, Latin America and the Caribbean.

TD SYNNEX  CEO Rich Hume said: “In this new phase, we will double down on our commitment to delivering higher value to our ecosystem partners through our end-to-end technology portfolio and our comprehensive services offerings, all underpinned by the passion, commitment and deep knowledge of our 22,000+ co-workers around the world.”

Synnex and Tech Data deal done
