Westcon-Comstor has launched a new IoT division and signed Stratus Technologies as its latest vendor partner to give EMEA-based channel partners access to a fault-tolerant compute offering.
The new division is focused on unlocking the potential of IoT and the intelligent edge for partners by blending Westcon’s existing IoT capabilities, including existing vendor relationships, under one roof in a formal go-to-market offering.
Antony Byford, VP of IoT & Collaboration at Westcon-Comstor, said: “The rise of IoT, smart devices, and the need for real-time data processing are propelling the growth of the edge computing market.
“Stratus’ position in the IoT ecosystem, coupled with its relationship with other Westcon vendors that are active in the IoT space makes it the ideal launch partner for us.”
