Stordis has been appointed by Acer Group as a specialist supplier for the European market. The company will serve as a value added distributor for the new Gateway HPC server range alongside its current, complementary portfolio of low-latency networking and storage products. This will enable Stordis to offer full, high performance computing solutions targeted at both traditional supercomputing customers in research and academia, as well as new growing markets in financial trading, broadcast and media, and specialist datacentres.

“Having moved to dominate the notebook and desktop market in the past few years, Acer Group has now set its sights firmly set on capturing a significant share of the server market,” comments Alexander Jeffries, managing director at Stordis. “The new Gateway server range offers simpler, more scalable solutions for high performance computing. Add to this Gateway’s growing reputation for offering the best quality assurance and product support, and this perfectly complements Stordis’ existing portfolio of class-leading, high performance networking and storage products.”

Stordis is focused on supplying cost effective computing solutions to resellers operating in markets where network and computing speed is a business critical factor. As a distributor, the company differentiates itself by maintaining a tights focus on this market space, allowing them to deliver greater levels of experience and expertise and, importantly, far shorter lead times on all the specialist products and peripherals needed to complete a working solution.

“Acer Group’s aim is to build trust in this market, through a strategy entirely reliant on a specialised channel. We have brought Stordis on board as a distributor because they can deliver a genuine ‘value added’ service to our channel partners and customers in the high performance space,” comments Sean Stacey,Business Development Manager EMEA-Technical & Productivity Computing . “The company is young, eager and dynamic and this shows in both the service it provides and the strong reputation it is developing amongst the specialist reseller community.”
