CLEARWATER, Fla. – June 05, 2017 — /BackupReview.info/ — Tech Data Corporation (Nasdaq: TECD) today announced that its Technology Solutions business, formerly a division of Avnet and now part of Tech Data, is aligning with CTERA Networks to provide partners with a unified platform for secure enterprise file services, including branch storage modernization, private file sync and share, and cloud data protection. Under this agreement, Tech Data will serve as the designated channel for CTERA in the Latin American countries of Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Mexico and Peru, as well as Central America and the Caribbean. Technology Solutions partners will now be able to offer customers secure file sharing, collaboration, and data protection services, as well as replace aging office file servers or tape backup with CTERA cloud storage gateways that offer built-in cloud failover, hybrid backup and file sync and share acceleration.

“Our partners will reap the benefits of providing their customers with new ways to secure their operations and generate savings both through managed file sharing and backup in the cloud,” said Eduardo Barron, vice president, Latin America and Caribbean, Tech Data. “Our solutions portfolio is stronger today because with CTERA’s offerings our partners can give their customers the option of being able to store files in their existing data center infrastructure or securely in a public cloud environment.”

Additionally, they can be combined with other complementary technologies within Tech Data’s portfolio, such as Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) and managed cloud services, to provide complete end-to-end solutions to meet the business needs of their customers. By offering CTERA file services, partners can enhance their margins and grow their recurring services revenue, while helping their customers share data and protect their workstations and remote offices.

“Since we integrate endpoint, office and cloud file services with uncompromising IT security, cloud choice and automation, CTERA is well positioned in its partnership with Technology Solutions to provide the Latin America and Caribbean partner ecosystem with world-class offerings,” said Domingo B. Tellez Rojo, business development, Iberia and Latam, CTERA Networks. “CTERA chose to partner with Tech Data because of its expansive geographic coverage, demonstrated skills and strategic industry alignment. Together, our teams will allow channel enterprises to benefit from our secure, simple-to-deploy and user-enabled file services for public, private and hybrid cloud environments.”
