Fujitsu Siemens Computers has appointed Lightedge as a corporate reseller for South Africa. This partnership enables Lightedge to sell the full range of Fujitsu Siemens Computers products, from its leading mobile, desktop and conventional server offerings through to its data centre server systems and storage solutions.
"Lightedge has been interested to align with a multinational brand to complement their leading local brand Emerald, and to have a solid strategy in the data centre. Fujitsu Siemens Computers has been on the Lightedge radar for some time, as we are not just looking for more products to sell, but rather a strategic technology partnership," says Grant Poulton, managing director of Lightedge.
"Lightedge was founded in 1993 as a generic distributor, slowly migrating to being a value-added distributor with PC integration. We have inverted our value proposition in the last two years, to being a platform integration specialist for conventional and fault-tolerant computing, with special emphasis on mission and business critical corporate environments. Adding the Fujitsu Siemens Computers full-line platform offerings with the leading TRIOLE strategy of developing products, solutions and services for the dynamic data centre is sure to create a greater combined value proposition for our customers."
"We are delighted to welcome Lightedge on board as a corporate reseller partner," says Mark Wilson, Managing Director of Fujitsu Siemens Computers. "Lightedge has built up a substantial business as a hardware platform solutions integrator and we believe that they will enhance our brand presence, particularly in the Western Cape."
