Axiz appointed to distribute Acer servers, EasyStorage range

Johannesburg, 10 Mar 2008

In a move to further expand Acer's business in Southern Africa, local IT infrastructure distributor, Axiz has been appointed to distribute Acer's server and EasyStorage product range.

Mark Forbes, Acer Server, product manager, Axiz says: "We have always believed in the value and power of the Acer brand and are delighted to extend our offering to the channel."

Forbes says Acer has proven itself as a brand of reliability, quality and performance, making the inclusion of Acer servers an exciting one for Axiz.

He says Acer's standard three-year - next business day - warranty is also a significant value-add for the channel. The server range includes single processor servers as well as dual and quad XEON offerings. In addition to servers Axiz, will be offering EasyStorage, a solution which allows even the smallest business to be able to backup or create networked storage within minutes.

Forbes says it is widely understood that most desktop and notebook users do not backup their data and only after catastrophic failure of their equipment do they realise the value of doing so. He says Axiz will distribute Acer's new EasyStore range, which offers storage capacities of 1, 2 and 3 Terabytes.

"Not only do you have the functionality of a normal network-attached storage, but also the option of backing up your PC or notebook as an image," says Forbes. "This allows you direct functional access to your data as if it was on your PC or notebook in the event of a system failure."

In line with its appointment, Axiz is in the process of establishing an Acer server partner programme, enabling resellers to offer and implement new server and storage solutions to the channel.

"I am excited at the potential Acer offers to our channel as well as potential to grow our resellers business," concludes Forbes.
