"Ingram Micro's presence at ISC speaks volumes to the cross-over
sales opportunities and increased demands we're seeing around
physical security and networking solutions," says Ronald Carlson,
director, Physical Security, Insight, an Ingram Micro channel
partner. "Today's IT professionals and CIOs want everything tied into
the network for greater manageability and performance. As a leading
IT distributor with many specialty businesses, Ingram Micro has a lot
to offer."

says Brian Wiser, senior vice president, specialty solutions, North
America.
"Over the last two years, we've seen increased market demand for
