SED International Holdings, Inc. (OTC: SEDN), an established
multinational distributor of leading computer technology, components,
and IT storage solutions was recently chosen by Seagate Technology plc
(NASDAQ: STX) as one of its top distributors to help further penetrate
the surveillance market in the U.S.
“Seagate is one of the premier suppliers of storage solutions in the
world. Their brand and reputation is second to none in the industry.
Seagate and SED have a relationship going back decades. Since my team
and I joined SED last fall, I have had the opportunity to get to know
various executives across the Seagate organization. They are a first
class organization and have demonstrated unwavering support for SED
during our rebuilding process. SED is excited to further enhance its
relationship with Seagate,” said Sham Gad, chairman and chief executive
officer of SED.
“We are pleased to expand our distribution strategy with a highly
regarded distributor as SED International. With a well-established
customer base in the surveillance industry, Seagate looks to leverage
those existing relationships to bring our portfolio of high-performance
surveillance hard drives to manufacturers and resellers across the
United States,” said Bill White, Seagate executive director of sales
Americas distribution.
Seagate’s Surveillance HDD addresses the need for scaling surveillance
solutions leveraging high-resolution cameras with cost-effective
performance and durability. With new features to support the drive in
NAS and RAID systems, which represent large opportunities for growth in
the surveillance space, security professionals can build scalable
systems to not only support large streaming workloads but also improve
drive reliability and reduce data loss in these demanding systems
resulting in lower field maintenance and returns.
“Surveillance is a very attractive end market today and represents an
opportunity for SED to continue refining its focus with a preeminent
brand like Seagate. To ensure a win-win for both sides, Seagate is
supporting this initiative with a comprehensive go-to-market strategy
that delivers their value proposition to the surveillance channel,” said
Gad.
