 Dublin, October13, 2009 – Iomega, an EMC company (NYSE: EMC) and a global leader in data protection today announced an addition to its distribution network as a result of a partnership agreement with Commtech Distribution. Under the terms of the agreement, Commtech will distribute Iomega's product portfolio of StorCenter Network Attached Storage (NAS) appliances.
Based on industry-leading enterprise-class EMC® storage technologies, the affordable StorCenter NAS product range wraps ease-of-use around big business data management functionality with advanced security and data protection thus making it the ideal choice for small and medium sized businesses, remote offices or home networks.
Commtech will distribute Iomega’s VMware certified family of StorCenter NAS products through its channel of top class IT resellers in Ireland.
Ashley Winfield, Key Account Manager, Iomega said, “As Commtech already have a strong partnership with both EMC and VMware, it only made sense to appoint them as distributor for our StorCenter NAS appliances as our products compliment their product portfolio. Commtech is primed to provide and is now well positioned to offer their extensive reseller base, world class storage technology solutions from the very best in the industry. EMC, VMware and Iomega represent a powerful combination that ultimately will benefit Commtech’s customers through the protection, security and simplified management of their rapidly growing information.”
“This strategic alliance with Commtech will enable us to leverage the solutions and strengths of both companies – addressing the requirements of customers with cost effective solutions, while offering unbeatable first class service that they have come to expect from first class suppliers” added Winfield. “Commtech bring commitment to this relationship, and a deep understanding, as well as technical pre-sales capability and coverage. We are excited about working with Commtech to develop these new channels for Iomega and look forward to a strong partnership.”

As an existing EMC and VMware Distributor, we can bring extensive channel knowledge to help build up the Iomega brand in the Irish channel.
