PAC Data Signs Distributor Deal with ABREVITY
August 21, 2006, San Jose, CA, ABREVITY, Inc. announced today that PAC Data has agreed to distribute ABREVITY's information classification and management software. PAC Data is a value-added distributor (VAD) of storage products to VARs and resellers nationwide. The company maintains relations with the leading innovators of both storage hardware and software products that enable their resellers to offer the best storage solutions to their customers.
"Many VARs and resellers are experts in networking, but they may not be as adept with storage technologies, which are constantly changing, "said Rick Crane, President and CEO of PAC Data. "Because we focus solely on storage, our sales and engineering staff is prepared to provide our VARs and resellers with assistance and guidance at all levels of a sale. Our deal with ABREVITY reflects this philosophy perfectly because ABREVITY's solutions allow us, for example, to sell a comprehensive tiered storage solution that will allow customers to automatically move secondary data onto less expensive storage or an archive rather than purchasing additional primary storage they don't need."
"PAC Data is smart to realize that selling complete storage solutions, consisting of hardware and software, helps VARs and resellers maintain very healthy margins," said ABREVITY CEO Rich Preston. "Being able to bring complete data storage solutions into a customer site also vastly increases their overall value-add to their customers."
ABREVITY's solutions, FileData Classifier(tm) and FileData Manager (tm), provide an unprecedented granular visibility into file and email content that allow fast, accurate data classification for a wide range of data classification options. ABREVITY's products are the only solutions available that allow any enterprise, small or large, to implement full Information Lifecycle and Information Security Management, compliance archiving, legal discovery and intelligent data backup.
