CLEARWATER, Fla.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Tech
Data (Nasdaq: TECD) today announced the launch of Cloud
Solutions Factory, a new global portfolio of end-to-end cloud
solutions. The new offering features a host of click-to-run solutions
developed by leveraging Tech Data’s ecosystem of vendors to deliver
specific business outcomes ranging from core infrastructure and data
protection, to the internet of things and analytics.

“In launching Cloud Solutions Factory, our focus has been on enabling
our partners to deliver business outcomes with solutions that are
immediately ready to deploy,” said Sergio Farache, Senior Vice
President, Strategy, Innovation, Cloud and M&A, at Tech Data. “Cloud
solution design and implementation can be a complex and lengthy process,
so all our offerings are pre-configured, validated and tested, and
deployments are monitored by Tech Data. The result is a suite of
reliable solutions that help our partners reduce costs, maximize
efficiency and drive competitive differentiation.”

As businesses navigate the challenges of digital transformation, they
are increasingly investing in cloud solutions to achieve a host of
business outcomes. For the first time, cloud infrastructure sales
surpassed revenue for traditional non-cloud IT environments in the third
quarter of 2018, according
to IDC¹. Tech Data Cloud Solutions Factory enables
partners to keep up with this demand by adding differentiated solutions
to their portfolios while reducing cost, implementation risk and time to
market.

The Tech Data Cloud Solutions Factory includes a broad set of IT and
business solutions practices. These are created by integrating licenses,
services and third-party components and include core
infrastructure, application
innovation and data
protection, among others. Through a solutions practice, Tech Data
enables partners to think and sell based on customers’ business
outcomes. Each practice combines a logical set of click-to-run
solutions, services and independent software vendors.

“By working with industry-leading cloud providers, we have built a
portfolio of integrated, packaged solutions that can be easily and
quickly configured, customized and deployed by our partners,” Farache
said. “These best-in-class providers are selected based on how well they
align with the high-demand workloads needed by today’s businesses, and
they must also meet specific requirements designed to protect our
partners and deliver maximum value to them.”

The Tech Data Solutions Factory will add a variety of vendors going
forward. Some of the initial partners include Microsoft, Amazon Web
Services, Red Hat, NetApp, Veeam, Autodesk and many
others.
