Tech Data has expanded its distribution partnership with CyberPower Systems to include Australia, extending current agreements across the US and Vietnam.
Terms of the deal means the distribution giant can now offer the vendor’s entire portfolio to Australian partners.
Among CyberPower’s products are UPS battery backup solutions from 600VA to 900KVA, surge protection and power accessories, power distribution units (ePDU) and rack enclosures ranging in size from 6RU to 48RU.
"Not only are they [CyberPower Systems] one of the fastest-growing power management vendor in the region, but they are continually investing in product development, emerging markets and local resources," Tech Data Australia and New Zealand country general manager, Wendy O’Keeffe, said.
"We recognise that, through enabling this channel, we can provide our partners the opportunity to deliver greater value, such as turnkey solutions, to their customers which then deliver genuine value-add to our entire partner ecosystem."
For CyberPower, the extended partnership will complement a global distribution relationship, as well as enhance the vendor's market position in Australia.
"We are currently seeing unprecedented growth across our Oceanic business and have quadrupled our product portfolio over the last six months,” CyberPower Systems Oceania general manager, Brad Andrews, said.
"With Tech Data’s specialised skill sets and world-class execution, they will enable channel partners to take full advantage of our range of racks, over 100 power distribution unit models and three-phase power systems for data centres to meet the growing power needs of the technology market."
Tech Data is CyberPower’s fourth distributor in Australia, having appointed CertaOne in September 2016 to provide value-added services, alongside partnerships with BlueChip Infotech and Ingram Micro.
