Optimized platform in a plug-and-play appliance
Dedicated, optimized appliances from Avnet are tailor-made, plug-and-play solutions that deliver the exact server, storage and networking functionality your application needs, when and where it’s needed.
Avnet can provide hardware appliances in various rack form factors that support a broad range of software applications, delivered in an on-premises dedicated hardware unit. The optimizations built into these appliances support performance and technical requirements, with a balanced approach to meeting financial requirements as well.
Designing, assembling, configuring and testing these units is typically outside the core expertise of software providers, and it requires an investment that can detract from your core focus. That redirection of attention and resources can challenge the innovation your business depends on. Along those same lines, the need to supply hardware appliances to meet end-customer demand can negatively impact your profitability.
Provisioning appliances typically requires services such as on-site installation, service and support that require additional investments. And disposal and recycling of hardware in a compliant manner adds further to operational complexity. Partnering with Avnet can eliminate these challenges, enabling you to focus more completely on your business’s primary strengths and focus on value for your customers.
