WORKING TOGETHER technologyreseller.co.uk 09 Luke Hasty, Nuaware Kristin Russell, Arrow Electronics Tech Data and NVIDIA are expanding an existing European distribution agreement for NVIDIA Networking solutions to cover the accelerated computing leader’s complete solution stack. This includes NVIDIA DGX systems, which enable businesses to scale AI development with solutions purpose-built for enterprises; the NVIDIA AI Enterprise software suite, an end-to-end, cloud-native suite of AI and data analytics software; and the NVIDIA Omniverse Enterprise platform for 3D design collaboration and real-time simulation in a shared virtual space. Tech Data will provide professional and managed services, develop customised solutions with NVIDIA products at the core for a variety of vertical use cases and offer partners the opportunity to accelerate their NVIDIA expertise and business readiness through its Practice Builder programs. Miriam Murphy, Tech Data Senior Vice President, Advanced and Specialised Solutions, Europe, said: “It’s hugely exciting to extend our NVIDIA offering to cover the full solution stack and to have the opportunity to incorporate NVIDIA’s cutting-edge AI and Omniverse simulation technology into the solutions that we develop for our ecosystem partners. AI is fast becoming a vital ingredient for enterprises, governments and other public institutions in the race to leverage data to enhance efficiency, make better decisions and make the world safer. Meanwhile, platforms that enable digital twins and virtual worlds like Omniverse Enterprise are set to fundamentally transform the way that societies interact, collaborate and create. There is no better time for our partners to engage in this growth area for technology.” www.TDSYNNEX.com Following changes to licensing terms for its collaborative application development platform, Docker has appointed Nuaware to distribute Docker Business subscriptions and open up new recurring revenue streams for channel partners. Part of specialist cybersecurity services group Exclusive Networks, Nuaware is a hyper growth, bornin-the-cloud distributor of cloud, DevSecOps and cloud-native application development solutions and services. Taking effect from January 31, 2022, Docker’s new licence terms require large commercial organisations to take out a Docker Pro, Docker Team or Docker Business paid subscription in order to use Docker Desktop. Small businesses with fewer than 250 employees and less than $10 million in revenue, educational institutions, open source projects and individuals can continue to use Docker Desktop through a free Docker Personal subscription. Nuaware MD Luke Hasty said: “Demand for cloud-native application development technologies, with Docker leading the way, has never been stronger. Whether you’re a DevOps consultancy, an app modernisation company or a cloud migration firm, this announcement allows our partners to put Docker front and centre in their arsenal – going beyond the traditional IT infrastructure buyer and deeper into their existing customer set to touch app developers and development teams.” www.docker.com www.nuaware.com Arrow Electronics is extending its collaboration with Commvault with the addition of Metallic DMaaS (data management-as-a-service) backup and recovery solutions to the ArrowSphere cloud management platform.
