Fujitsu PRIMERGY Server Distribution Deal With Tech Data Expands Access to Complete Fujitsu Solutions for Small to Medium-Sized Businesses

Fujitsu Computer Systems Corporation today announced that Tech Data Corporation (NASDAQ: TECD), a leading IT products distributor, will now offer IT resellers access to the complete line of Fujitsu PRIMERGY(R) servers. The distribution agreement follows a similar deal announced in November of 2007 regarding Fujitsu ETERNUS(R) storage solutions, and will make it easier for small to medium-sized businesses (SMBs) to purchase complete, integrated Fujitsu computing solutions, including PRIMERGY servers, ETERNUS Storage Area Networks (SANs), storage virtualization, and software products through Tech Data’s broad reseller network in the U.S. and Canada.

“More and more customers are demanding the kind of fully integrated, high-performance, reliable, and eco-friendly solutions that only Fujitsu can provide,” said Richard McCormack, senior vice president of marketing for Fujitsu Computer Systems Corporation. “This agreement will make our solutions far more accessible to the burgeoning SMB market. Tech Data fully understands that integrated, market-specific solutions are the key to allowing SMBs to cost-effectively overcome their most complex computing and business challenges.”

Fujitsu offers a complete line of PRIMERGY tower, rack, and blade servers, from single processor servers for small offices to 16-processor systems intended for enterprise database or large scale server consolidation through virtualization. Whether the need is for affordable entry-level servers, compact and scalable blade systems, or advanced multiprocessor servers capable of handling the most demanding data center applications, the PRIMERGY line delivers a highly reliable x86 architecture with rock-solid design and industry-leading performance for Windows(R)- and LINUX-based applications. Fujitsu ETERNUS storage solutions are solving customers’ storage challenges, from managing Microsoft(R) Exchange Server migrations and the consolidation of massive email volumes, to ensuring business continuity and efficient disaster recovery, to reducing power consumption and footprint in the data center.

“The latest industry-standard server and storage solutions -- like the Fujitsu PRIMERGY and ETERNUS lines -- are enabling resellers to deliver more cost-effective and versatile data centers to end users ranging from SMBs to large enterprises,” said Pete Peterson, senior vice president and general manager, Advanced Infrastructure Solutions, Tech Data. “Tech Data established its Advanced Infrastructure Solutions (AIS) Division to help resellers capitalize on that opportunity. Through our AIS Division, Tech Data will support Fujitsu PRIMERGY server and ETERNUS storage resellers with dedicated sales and technical support resources.”
