Arrow ECS receives NetApp APSP certification in four countries throughout Europe
Arrow Enterprise Computing Solutions, a business segment of Arrow Electronics, has been named an authorised professional service partner (APSP) in the NetApp partner program in Denmark, France, Germany and the UK. Arrow ECS is the first NetApp APSP in the Danish and French markets. The APSP authorisation enables Arrow ECS to offer professional services in addition to its NetApp storage solutions portfolio. The program features professional services for hardware and software. It includes solution suites, assessment services, installation and implementation, design and consulting, as well as managed services. The authorisation allows Arrow ECS to offer the same level of engineering expertise on storage infrastructure design as NetApp offers, providing an alternative to resellers and their customers in planning and installing NetApp solutions. Obtaining this high level of certification also strengthens Arrow ECS’ ability to develop new business opportunities for resellers that expand their NetApp product sales to include professional services support.
