Arrow ECS Signs VMTurbo To Bring Intelligent Workload Management to Cloud and Enterprise Virtual Data Centers

SAN FRANCISCO, CA. (Aug. 28, 2012) – Arrow Enterprise Computing Solutions, a business segment of Arrow Electronics Inc. (NYSE: ARW), today announced a North American distribution agreement with VMTurbo. Established in 2009, VMTurbo provides intelligent workload management solutions for cloud and virtualized environments to more than 4,000 customers worldwide.

“Adding VMTurbo to our solutions portfolio strengthens Arrow ECS’ leading position in the virtualization market,” said Joe Burke, vice president of Arrow ECS’ North American storage, security, virtualization and networking businesses. “VMTurbo helps solution providers deliver a complete offering for customers who are seeking assurance that their virtualized infrastructure is optimized for maximum performance.”

VMTurbo Operations Manager changes the way virtual infrastructures are controlled. The product draws from supply and demand principles to intelligently match demand from workloads with available server and storage capacity to continuously ensure virtualized environments are working as efficiently as possible. The product’s patent-pending economic scheduling engine allocates resources where they are needed most based on business goals and application requirements. By automating control and guaranteeing optimal allocation of resources, VMTurbo Operations Manager reduces the costs of managing virtualized infrastructure – eliminating time consuming interpretation of dashboard data, manual troubleshooting, and trial and error remediation.

“We see rapidly expanding customer interest in our intelligent workload management solution. VMTurbo looks forward to drawing from Arrow ECS’ long-standing relationship with VMware and broad community of solution providers specializing in virtualization solutions to extend our market share across North America,” said Bernie Hannon, director of global channels at VMTurbo. “This agreement aligns with our commitment to continuing to expand the VMTurbo Global Partner Program.”
