Andy Hill VP Sales, Bamboo Systems

Bamboo Systems, a provider of ARM-based, enterprise servers, architected to meet the needs of software design and data center demands, appointed Andy Hill as its VP sales and pre-sales, effective immediately.

He will be focused on leading the worldwide expansion of partner ecosystem and customer adoption.
 
He brings with him over 20 years of experience building and leading sales organizations and channel relationships, delivering growth in businesses from the start-up level to the >$100 million revenue range. Most recently he was VP sales, EMEA for Komprise, where he was responsible for planning, strategy and execution of the company’s EMEA sales, partner and channel strategies and growth. Prior to that, he also held senior management positions at Nexsan, Sungard Availability Services and Veritas.
 
“I’m thrilled to be joining Bamboo Systems at a time when it’s clear that Arm-based solutions are about to disrupt the legacy design of today’s enterprise data center. Bamboo’s Arm-based server architecture is perfectly positioned to act as a catalyst for change in 2021, delivering significant business and environmental benefits,” he said. “I am excited to be part of the landscape change in the enterprise data center and adoption of ARM-based designs, a trend amplified by major market analysts.”
 
Bamboo Systems’ patented Parallel ARM Node Designed Architecture (PANDA) is a new approach to enterprise server design. PANDA-based servers deliver high throughput with increased density, reducing the thermal profile. PANDA uses up to 95% less power at rest, 80% less power at run, in 10% of the space of traditional architecture. 
 
“I have worked with Andy in the past, and I can say from first-hand experience he is the best at what he does, building sales and channel relations,” said Tony Craythorne, CEO. “Andy understands the business benefit of Bamboo Systems’ technology and the needs of our current and future customers. When he joined our team, he hit the ground running and with Andy at the helm of sales initiatives, we are expecting to usher in the next phase of our corporate growth.”
