Tech Data makes Komprise deal

Tech Data has signed a pan-European agreement to offer stuff from Komprise, a company specialising in analytics-driven data management as a service.

Komprise Intelligent Data Management solutions lets people handle large volumes of unstructured data and easily analyse, mobilise, and access the right file and object data across clouds and hybrid IT environments, it is claimed.

Tech Data said the agreement comes when enterprise IT teams are already straining to do more with less, and the complexity of the data under management is exploding as they now have to work across multiple clouds and storage vendors. Komprise Intelligent Data Management is supporting enterprise IT organisations to migrate large workloads or move data across storage classes and tiers and optimise costs.

Komprise’s platform offers integration with many of Tech Data’s existing storage and cloud vendors and delivers insight, mobility and transparency across customers’ “data estates”.

Tech Data vice president, Analytics & IoT, Europe Craig Smith said the company’s partnership will let more partners and enterprise IT organisations take control of the “massive unstructured data growth challenge” they are dealing with, while dramatically reducing enterprise storage, backup, and cloud costs.

Komprise vice president, EMEA Sales Clare Loveridge said: “As the pace of digital transformation and cloud adoption accelerates, it’s never been more important to be able to intelligently manage unstructured data anywhere without compromise.”
