Arrow ECS Launches ‘Ready-to-go’ Solutions

Arrow Enterprise Computing Solutions, a business segment of Arrow Electronics Inc. [NYSE: ARW], is expanding its offerings in Europe to include Arrow-branded, preconfigured solutions for resellers. The first Arrow ECS "Ready-to-go” solutions available include a virtual-remote-office offering and Payment Card Industry Data-Security-Standard compliancy package in the United Kingdom. In addition, Ready-to-go server- and desktop-virtualisation offerings are available in Germany for small- and mid-sized enterprise companies.

"Arrow ECS is developing integrated solutions that combine integration expertise and a consistent stack of products,” said Laurent Sadoun, president of Arrow ECS for Europe, Middle East and Africa. "As demonstrated by the PCI Ready-to-go solution for the retail market, we are developing offerings for specific vertical industries as well.”

The Arrow ECS Ready-to-go solutions help eliminate complexity and provide customers with quick and easy deployment of a single integrated bundle of hardware, software and security products.

One part number, one invoice, "One Call Support” multiplatform technical assistance, as well as professional services and training from Arrow ECS, are available for these bundles in the U.K.

In Germany, enablement workshops were developed to educate resellers about the functionalities of the preconfigured virtualization solutions. The workshops also provide instructions for installing, managing and supporting the bundles.

The virtual-remote-office solution equips companies with everything they need to manage remote sites through a standardized set of controls in the data centre. It helps to increase efficiency, reduce the carbon footprint and cut costs.

The PCI compliance solution enables organisations to virtualise their card-holder systems while still remaining within compliance guidelines. It eliminates the need to increase PCI DSS scope to the entire virtualised infrastructure.
