Distributor's Components Division Announces New Series of 1U Rackmount,
Customized Server Solutions featuring Energy-Efficient Quad-Core AMD
Opteron(TM) Processors
SANTA ANA, Calif., Oct. 27 /PRNewswire/ -- Expanding its integration
services offerings, Ingram Micro's (NYSE: IM) Components Division today
announced a new series of 1U rack-mounted Custom Server Solutions which
feature the energy-efficient Quad-Core AMD Opteron(TM) processors. Available
now, these customizable server offerings build upon the success of the
distributor's growing integration services which were introduced to assist
solution providers in designing and deploying custom systems and solutions.
"The market opportunity for solution providers to successfully sell
white-label, custom build server solutions is strong and lends to a value
proposition that direct manufacturers just can't deliver on," says Tim Ament,
Ingram Micro's vice president of components. "We built our state-of-the-art
40,000 square foot configuration and engineering center to help partners
maximize their sales and profit potential by delivering customized server
solutions that meet the business needs of their clients. Our new Custom Server
Solutions are designed for businesses of any size and are ideally suited for
those partners who are working within vertical markets and selling solutions
that require a number of custom applications. What's more, by partnering with
Ingram Micro solution providers and system builders eliminate unnecessary
labor, warehousing and inventory costs, which helps drive more profitability
into their model."
Equipped with Dual- and Quad-Core AMD Opteron processors, Ingram Micro's
new high-performance, 1U customized server solutions come in three general
offerings including Streamlined, Advanced and Powerhouse. Each server can be
customized to ensure optimal performance and application flexibility in both
legacy and emerging technology solutions such as video surveillance,
virtualization, mail/print server solutions and many others.
"We teamed up with Ingram Micro to help design a new series of customized,
1U rack-mounted servers that would enable our channel partners to deliver
superior performance at a competitive price without compromising margins or
service levels," said Pat Patla, vice president, server workstations, AMD.
"Powered by our energy-efficient Dual- and Quad-Core AMD Opteron processors,
these new server solutions offer cutting-edge technology and support unique in
today's marketplace."
