Tech Dataâs Open Source Strategy: A Closer Look
,----[ Quote ]
| It has been roughly a month since Tech Data
| launched Open Tech â an open source channel
| partner initiative. Why is the big distributor
| interested in the open source market? And how
| is Open Tech performing so far? I caught up
| with Tech Data VP Stacy Nethercoat for
| answers.

| While Tech Data carries Red Hat and Novell â
| the two big guys in this space that are
| particularly strong in the data centre â the
| distie hasn't traditionally carried ISV
| applications to round out a complete solution.
| To add to the mix, there are also tier-one
| players that offer open-source SKUs, such as
| Microsoft, Oracle and Symantec. And since
| there's a growing demand for open source, the
| distie is attempting to step it up a notch.

Open Source Distribution: Ready to Roll?
,----[ Quote ]
| Tech Data, as The VAR Guy expected, is the
| latest distributor to launch an open source
| channel initiative. Tech Dataâs effort
| (called Open Tech) follows a Synnex-Red Hat
| initiative called the Open Source Channel
| Alliance. But are distributors really ready
| to support open source in the IT channel? Yes
| and no. Hereâs why.
