Dot Hill Systems Corp. (HILL) Signs Distribution Agreement with SYNNEX Corporation


Dot Hill Systems, a prominent supplier of SAN storage solutions, announced that it has finalized a distribution agreement with SYNNEX (NYSE:SNX), a leading provider of IT product and services. The agreement stipulates that SYNNEX will offer Dot Hill’s expansive AssuredSAN storage solution portfolio. Dot Hill and SYNNEX benefit from this relationship through the expansion of interaction with new resellers and markets throughout the United States and Canada.

“A world-class provider of IT systems and services with a strong focus on storage, SYNNEX will allow us to expand our growing base of resellers throughout North America,” said Brad Painter, vice president, channel sales, Dot Hill. “With integration services that include installation, maintenance and pre-sales audits, as well as dedicated programs for government, education and healthcare, SYNNEX is well-equipped to advance the Dot Hill AssuredSAN brand into a number of key markets.”

“Dot Hill’s approach to handling the evolution of exponential data growth, addressing the storage needs of its customers backed by its award-winning channel program, shows its thought leadership in this space,” said Steve Ichinaga, Senior Vice President and General Manager, Systems for SYNNEX Corporation. “Dot Hill’s extensive portfolio of proven storage technologies for midrange markets, along with its compelling new offerings such as the AssuredSAN Pro 5000 Series with real-time autonomic data tiering, and the high-performance AssuredSAN 4000 Series, gives SYNNEX’ customers leading storage products that are innovative and highly differentiated.”

Dot Hill’s AssuredSAN storage portfolio offers up to 288 terabytes of capacity in a single, comprehensive system, featuring demonstrated 99.999 percent availability and an easy to use platform. AssuredSAN arrays are available with Dot Hill AssuredRemote data management software, enabling remote replication. AssuredSAN arrays also include AssuredCopy, Dot Hill’s volume copy technology, and AssuredSnap snapshot capability to facilitate enhanced data availability and business continuity.

The AssuredSAN Pro 5000 Series with RealStor software brings tiered storage to the cutting edge in the industry, well beyond the batch migration currently employed by competitors, and into a new era of automatic, real-time data tiering. RealStor gives businesses the advantage of very high performance SSDs, and utilize them for maximum benefit, while also storing less frequently accessed data on slower, but much cheaper, hard disk drives. The AssuredSAN Pro 5000 series is a high-performance, highly available, fully integrated storage solution that provides consistently quicker access to current data with built-in, real-time, automatic tiered storage and virtualization.

Sharing the same powerful architecture as Dot Hill’s AssuredSAN Pro 5000 Series midrange system, the AssuredSAN 4000 Series provides superior streaming performance for bandwidth-intensive applications. The AssuredSAN 4000 Series sets a new Dot Hill performance standard — delivering up to 5200 MB/s of sustained sequential read throughput and up to 3000 MB/s of sustained sequential write performance — making it ideal for customers in the Media & Entertainment (M&E), Telecommunications, and High Performance Computing (HPC) markets.
