Global Distribution to Resell Vicom

Vicom Systems, Inc., provider of transparent wire-speed data services for systems and storage, announced a new distribution agreement with Global Distribution, distributor across EMEA.

Global Distribution will be distributing Vicom’s Vmirror and Vmeter tuning storage solutions to its network of resellers and integrators.

The Vmirror is an appliance built for enterprise-grade protection of Apple video editing and IT systems. Vmirror appliances add continuous, high-availability access and data protection to large-scale, Xsan and StorNext compatible storage systems such as ActiveRAID and ActiveSAN.

Select a client on the SAN and adjust guaranteed minimum and maximum allowed bandwidth. Real-time statistics can be viewed per client or over the entire SAN with the Vmeter bandwidth statistics tool.

"We are excited to add Vicom Systems to our product portfolio," said Keith Warburton, director of Global Distribution.
