As part of this new relationship, Bell Microproducts will distribute Crucial's memory modules, with a primary focus on OEM customers. Additionally, the companies will address key vertical markets, including medical, video/ surveillance, industrial automation, networking and telecom. Crucial's memory upgrades will also be beneficial to customers targeting the storage solutions arena.
"As a channel leader and recognized expert in storage solutions, Bell Microproducts is always proactively seeking to expand upon that reputation and serve as a convenient, efficient one-stop shop for all storage solutions needs," noted John Vossoughi, senior vice president, North American computer products marketing for Bell Microproducts. "The addition of Crucial's memory modules to our storage product offerings is an ideal extension of our linecard, as it expands our reach into the memory and flash markets."
