Tech Data Expands Portfolio of Consumption-Based IT Solutions

Tech Data has expanded its portfolio by adding the “Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) GreenLake Flex Capacity for Partners,” a suite of curated, consumption-based IT solutions. The offering enables partners to provide access to new technologies such as software-defined infrastructure, all-flash storage and private cloud under a pay-per-use model.

“Consumption-based solutions solve a real need in the marketplace for businesses to purchase what they need, when they need it,” said Brian Ellis, vice president, HPE Solutions at Tech Data. “In the case of HPE GreenLake, our inroads are a direct result of working closely with our partners to provide expert guidance and support in championing and monetizing the model.”

The Tech Data portfolio of consumption-based IT solutions stretches across the areas of cloud, analytics, IoT, security and data center, and several vendor lines. The Florida-based distributor also provides expertise and resources necessary for implementation and management of consumption-based offerings.
