Hammer secures full contract with Quanta

Hammer has signed the leading datacentre solution provider, Quanta, to its portfolio, in a deal which encompasses pan-European rights, and on a full distribution and OEM level, by offering bespoke whitebox server and storage solutions.

Hammer has access to Quanta’s server portfolio, JBOD storage range, rack solutions and networking switches. Their server products are designed to meet data growth and flexibility needs, by delivering high performance, reliability and scalability; and are ideal for large-data-set workloads, business-critical applications, server virtualization and consolidation, and virtual desktop hosting.

The addition of Quanta to Hammer’s portfolio will further enhance the distributor’s existing capabilities and offerings to partners in the datacentre and cloud computing space, with an even wider choice of optimized solutions, and backed by a dedicated in-house server support team.

Quanta has traditionally created specific servers for hyperscale customers, including the top datacentre and cloud computing organisations in the world (including Facebook), tailored to the exact needs of each company’s huge workload. The vendor is also recognised as a main player in the cloud computing space, and has been integrating resources and redefining its business model to capture emerging growth opportunities.
Mike Yang, general manager and vice president of Quanta QCT, said: “Hammer provides tailored solutions across many verticals, with an extensive on-site services and support network. These capabilities are important to Quanta's cloud datacentre customers, who demand that our high performance and ruthlessly efficient hardware be delivered with a complete set of consulting and support services before, during and after the sale.”

The agreement allows Hammer to provide completely bespoke Quanta servers to its resellers and their customers, and to tailor server products to exact requirements based on Quanta’s innovative and advanced products.

Gerard Marlow, General Manager Business Development at Hammer, said: “Hammer’s historical expertise in the whitebox bespoke server space has been instrumental in enabling us to expand our abilities in this market, and position ourselves at the forefront of server offerings. Our engagement with Quanta and the complementing synergy between our companies means that Hammer is establishing itself as a main player in the datacentre and cloud computing space more than ever before. We look forward to providing our customers with such an advanced level of products from Quanta, and with the benefit of our complete focus on storage and our unique value-add services wrapped around them.”
