Tarsus Technologies has announced the finalisation of an indirect distribution agreement with Iomega, which will see the company making the vendor`s popular range of storage peripherals available to the Tarsus reseller channel.
"Iomega has for some time now been considered as one of the most user-friendly, aesthetically pleasing and reliable brands of storage peripherals on the market," says Brett Walter, product manager at Tarsus Technologies. "As such, we`re delighted to take on the Iomega brand, since it brings our VARs a set of new value-adds they can offer to customers."
Iomega`s storage products are well known for allowing users to easily backup valuable data, expand the storage space available to a workgroup and add to the storage capacities on their notebooks and desktops.
"The addition of this brand to the Tarsus portfolio means that resellers will benefit from having a new range of solutions they can offer to their customers, possibly filling gaps that existed before," Walter says.
Bobby Kennedy, key account manager for Iomega in SA, says: "Iomega is proud to be associated with Tarsus Technologies as an indirect distributor of our complete range of products. This is a relationship that will significantly expand the Iomega channel in SA and help to bring products like Iomega REV 35GB/90GB and Iomega NAS to a new group of customers."
Kennedy notes that the IT industry is notorious for companies that are here today and gone tomorrow. "Iomega is particularly proud of the fact that we have recently celebrated our 25th year of business. Similarly, Tarsus has a track record spanning two decades as a reliable and stable company with an established reputation for excellence.
"In keeping with the high levels of support in terms of sales, after-sales and service associated with Iomega, Tarsus will have a dedicated team looking after the Iomega brand. This commitment to our products will not only expand the sales opportunities and market penetration, but will also serve to strengthen our brand presence in the South African marketplace and underscores Iomega`s ongoing commitment towards the country`s professional storage market," Kennedy concludes.
