The North American Components business of Arrow Electronics Inc. agreed to distribute the Seagate Technology disc-drive product portfolio to Arrow's customer base in the U.S. and Canada.
Arrow will distribute Seagate's product portfolio including its EE25 hard-drive series for extreme environments, the DB35 series for digital video recorders (DVRs) and home media servers, the SV35 family for digital video surveillance systems, Savvio 2.5 inch drives for mission-critical enterprise server and storage applications and the Momentus family for laptop computers.
"Arrow's proven success in technical demand creation with the embedded marketplace will provide broad customer access to the industry's most diverse product portfolio," said Marc Jourlait, Seagate vice president of global marketing.
"We are pleased to be extending our reach with the addition of Arrow as we continue to deliver advanced digital storage that powers mainstream and cutting-edge applications," Jourlait said.
The proliferation of embedded multimedia applications requiring audio and video and increasing regulatory requirements across various markets are two factors driving the storage needs of embedded OEMs, Arrow said.
"Seagate's demonstrated leadership in disc-drive technology and its commitment to developing unique solutions that meet, and exceed, the diverse storage requirements of our OEM customer base clearly adds to our value proposition," said Robert Behn, vice president of marketing for the Arrow North American Components business.
