First Distribution, South Africa's leading distributor for datacentre, enterprise and cloud solutions, is proud to announce that it has been successful in retaining VMware vCloud Air Network (vCAN) Aggregator status.

First Distribution has built a successful cloud and hosting business, and the partnership with VMware reinforces First Distribution's investment in its cloud business.

The First Distribution cloud and vCAN business units are endeavouring to help partners take their hosted, networking and software services to the next level across South Africa and Africa.

With key activities and set goals agreed in place going into FY2016, both parties are looking forward to significant growth and success over the coming months.

vCAN from First Distribution is the perfect solution for partners such as infrastructure as a service (IaaS) providers, cloud service providers (CSPs), application service providers (ASPs), Internet service providers (ISPs) and platform as a service (PaaS) providers.

In short it enables partners to rapidly and cost effectively, deliver hybrid cloud services. Leveraging the vCAN programme, First Distribution's partners can consume VMware products on a pay-as-you-go, pay-as-you-grow, and monthly subscription model.

If you are building or moving your business to the cloud, First Distribution's Managed Service Division is here to help you build your cloud business today!
