The VAR Guy

Ingram Micro’s Infrastructure Technology Solutions (ITS) Division is now selling and supporting the complete line of IBM System Storage N series hardware, software and solutions for small-to-midsize enterprises (SMEs).

The VAR Guy respects distributors. Apparently, so does Goldman Sachs. The big financial house has upgraded Ingram Micro’s stock. Hmmm. What’s behind the move?

Ingram Micro and Best Buy’s Geek Squad are teaming up to offer on-site IT services for select Best Buy business customers. The move calls for the Ingram Micro Services Network to be the “premier” on site service providers for select participants in the Best Buy for Business program in the US.

In the shortest phone briefing ever, Ingram Micro just spent about five minutes telling The VAR Guy about a new leasing program. The program should allow solutions providers to more easily offer hardware as a service (HaaS) to their customers.
