Multinational technology company, Dell EMC has appointed MEA-focused pan-African IT, CE and telco distributor Mitsumi as its enterprise distributor for Africa.

According to a statement issued by the Kenya-based partner, the agreement authorises Mitsumi to sell Dell EMC's ISG network-attached storage products in East & West Africa.

"The move demonstrates their confidence in our ability to help grow their brand across the region," notes the statement.

Nazih Moufarrej, Dell EMC Managing Director for the central and eastern Africa region says the company is proud to sign the partnership agreement. "Dell EMC was focusing on progressing its technological corner in product growth to be able to encounter the needs of customers both at the descent and aloft ends of the market."

Mitsumi says it has played an integral role in helping to grow the Dell business across the region since the Dell Consumer, Commercial and SNP African distribution partnership first began in 2009.

As an authorised distributor, Mitsumi will distribute Dell EMC storage products including all-flash arrays, hybrid storage platforms and networked-attached storage solutions in Angola, Burundi, Cape Verde, Comoros, Djibouti, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Ghana, Kenya, Liberia, Mayotte, Nigeria, Reunion, Rwanda, Seychelles, Somalia, South Sudan, Tanzania and Uganda.

Other Dell EMC enterprise IT offerings include servers, converged infrastructure and cloud infrastructure products.

Mitesh Shah, Managing Director, Mitsumi Distribution says, "Over the last two years, we have invested heavily in our team and business to ensure we have the correct skill sets in place to drive growth and capture the Middle East & Africa market share. We are also concentrating on developing our product distribution capability and reach. We look forward to working with Dell EMC and we are sure that this partnership will offer a wide product offering to all the enterprise partners based in Africa."

Mitsumi says its reseller partners across its entire African footprint will have access to Dell EMC portfolio, including an extensive range of flash storage, hybrid cloud, and advanced data centre solutions.
