AMD ha ufficializzato una nuova e ulteriore forma di collaborazione con SAPPHIRE Technology. L'azienda asiatica, infatti, già vendor di video card AMD-based numero uno al mondo, dal primo ottobre si occupa, in esclusiva, della distribuzione dei prodotti FirePro a livello mondiale. Seguono i comunicati stampa in lingua italiana e inglese.
AMD annuncia che SAPPHIRE Technology sarà partner esclusivo per la distribuzione a livello globale delle schede grafiche AMD FirePro.
Fornitore internazionale e leader nella produzione di tecnologie innovative, SAPPHIRE collabora con AMD da più di un decennio, gestendo i prodotti AMD in diversi mercati e collaborando in qualità di partner di canale per le schede grafiche AMD FirePro in Asia. La partnership per la distribuzione favorirà un maggiore supporto alle schede grafiche professionali AMD FirePro, garantendo, a livello mondiale, nuove risorse nella distribuzione di soluzioni AMD al proprio ecosistema di aziende che operano nell’abito del canale.
L’esperienza al livello internazionale di SAPPHIRE garantisce ad AMD la possibilità di rispondere alle richieste di un numero ancora maggiore di utenti in tutto il mondo.
La partnership per la distribuzione è effettiva da subito: i prodotti AMD FirePro saranno distribuiti al canale grazie a SAPPHIRE a partire da oggi, 1° ottobre 2013. Nel frattempo, i clienti OEM avranno ancora la possibilità di acquistare i prodotti direttamente da AMD.
AMD (NYSE: AMD) today announced SAPPHIRE Technology as its exclusive global distribution partner for AMD FirePro professional graphics. An international supplier and leading manufacturer of innovative technologies, SAPPHIRE has successfully collaborated with AMD for more than a decade, managing AMD products in various markets and acting as an AMD FirePro professional graphics channel partner in Asia.
The distribution partnership will be beneficial in driving stronger support for AMD FirePro professional graphics by delivering new distribution resources to AMD’s channel ecosystem companies worldwide.
"For many years we have enjoyed a strong, productive and mutually beneficial relationship with SAPPHIRE. This new collaboration marks yet another exciting step in our award-winning AMD graphics history by opening up new markets for AMD FirePro," said David Cummings, senior director and general manager, Professional Graphics at AMD. "AMD is committed to growth in the professional graphics market, and as we build on the success of AMD FirePro, we sought out a distribution partner that would allow us to broaden our reach, support growing sales and embrace new opportunities. SAPPHIRE was the natural choice."
The company engaged SAPPHIRE to deliver focused distribution on a global basis. SAPPHIRE’s experience in a variety of regions – including more than five years in the Asia-Pacific workstation market – enables AMD to service the needs of even larger numbers of users throughout the world.
"We are very pleased to be the primary champion for the channel," said Adrian Thompson, VP of Marketing, SAPPHIRE. "SAPPHIRE has experience in key professional markets that AMD FirePro targets including manufacturing CAD, media and entertainment, display walls and more. By strengthening our association with AMD, both companies win. We look forward to our expanded role to broaden the reach of AMD FirePro."
The distribution partnership is effective immediately, with AMD FirePro products distributed in the channel through SAPPHIRE from Oct. 1, 2013. Meanwhile, original equipment manufacturing (OEM) customers will still have the ability to purchase products directly from AMD.
