First for Cloud
First for Cloud offers a number of solutions to get you started on the road to selling cloud services as quickly as possible. These include both pure cloud services, as well as value added peripheral services like consulting, webstore setup, and support – to name just a few. For more information, go to www.firstforcloud.com.
Client Computing
The ability to remotely connect anytime & anywhere securely is in high demand. By de-coupling the device from the network, IT can now support all kinds of users in maximising client computing investment and minimising costs, on everything from smart phones to thin clients. First Distribution’s range of premium vendor offerings lead the way.
Hosted Solutions
‘Cloud’ is a computing model, not a technology. In this model of computing, all the servers, networks, applications and other elements related to data centres are made available to IT and endusers via the internet in a way that allows IT to buy only the type and amount of computing services that they need. Many software vendors have now adjusted their licensing programmes to cater for cloud providers, allowing them to pay for their software in the same way that they offer the services; monthly, based on usage. First Distribution’s ‘Cloud Solutions’ focus on these licensing programmes as well as other solutions that better enable cloud providers.
Networking
Speed and reliability are all-important when it comes to communication and data networking within organisations, especially as businesses move towards cloud-based systems. First Distribution’s range of top-class vendors can help with all your networking needs including connectivity, cabling, fiber, nested security, UTM, routing and wireless networks.
Cyber Security
First Distribution’s premier cyber security vendors offer a wide range of cyber security technologies including network layer security, email security, firewalls, antivirus software, browser security and ‘Unified Threat Management’ (UTM), a comprehensive solution that has recently emerged in the network security industry as a primary network gateway defence solution for organisations.
Servers
As a distributor of some of the world’s foremost brands, First Distribution offers a complete portfolio of mission-critical servers that are engineered to deliver record-breaking performance, simplified management, and cost-saving efficiencies. First Distribution’s renowned datacentre and enterprise solutions ensure greater automation and responsiveness in the delivery of business services. Vendor systems are also designed to run leading operating and virtualisation platforms with greater performance and efficiency and serve as basic building blocks for the implementation of cloud infrastructure. Utilising best-of-thebreed hardware ensures resilience, interoperability and integration with leading cloud software providers.
Software
Software plays an indispensible part in the modern work environment and First Distribution’s vendors such as Oracle, VMware and IBM are market leaders when it comes to providing solutions for enterprise software, databases, appliance software, CRM, ERP and middleware.
Storage
The recent explosion in the amount of data in the workplace has led to constant innovation in data storage solutions. First Distribution’s premier brands are leaders in providing the necessary hardware required to deal with all data including archiving, data backup & recovery, warehousing, replication, virtualisation, content management systems and specialised storage designed to deal with ‘big data’.
Virtualisation
First Distribution’s leading vendor virtualisation product offerings enable users to save up to 70% on overall IT costs by consolidating resource pools and delivering highly available machines. By dividing a single physical server into multiple logical servers, virtualisation creates a more dynamic and flexible data centre whilst also drastically reducing the total cost of ownership of IT infrastructure.
