Extends existing US relationship with Aruba to deliver complete suite
of industry-leading networking solutions to enterprise customers
ScanSource Networking and Security, a leading global provider of
physical security products and networking solutions, and a business unit
of ScanSource, Inc. (NASDAQ: SCSC), announced today that it has
entered into a distribution agreement with Hewlett Packard Enterprise
(HPE). By becoming a US Distribution Partner, ScanSource will be able to
offer customers an expanded portfolio of networking solutions, including
leading wired, wireless, campus, and data center networking solutions,
routing and switching, along with network management and security –
all of which are operated by Aruba following its acquisition by HPE.
“We are excited to expand our networking capabilities at ScanSource by
joining the HPE Distribution Network,” said Christie Hamberis, senior
vice president of ScanSource Networking and Security. “We have had a
long-standing, successful relationship with Aruba and this new agreement
with HPE will allow us to expand our portfolio of hardware and services
with additional solutions that complement the products we currently
sell, enabling us to deliver an even broader set of leading-edge
networking solutions to our reseller partners.”
As a result of this agreement, all of ScanSource’s US business units
will have access to a full line of innovative routing and switching
products from HPE Aruba that complement the security cameras,
point-of-sale systems, unified communications products and other IP
devices that ScanSource has been known for, and resellers will be able
to provide a complete solution from the networking closet to the end
device. All of this builds upon ScanSource Networking and Security’s
value-added services offering, including sales and technical support,
configuration services, education and training, which enables resellers
to enhance their support to their end-user customers.
“This new agreement reflects ScanSource’s demonstrated commitment to
enabling reseller success,” said Jim Harold, vice president of channels
for Aruba. “With it, ScanSource will be able to deliver an even broader
set of leading-edge networking solutions to its customers, and we are
looking forward to continuing our work with them to meet reseller needs.”
ScanSource also has a strong relationship with Hewlett Packard
Enterprise in Brazil, and was recently honored with awards for
Distributor of the Year in server volume for HPE and Outstanding Value
Distributor.
