Hammer, the specialist storage distie, is to start wholesaling ONStor's NAS gateways to the UK channel.

This is a RAID value-add thing: ONStor's technology is open, unlike many competitors which "typically include NAS gateways as part of a broader proprietary storage solution," Hammer says. And it's cheaper too: “With ONStor, we are able to satisfy those customers looking for a strong feature set at a highly competitive price point.”

And so to ONStor, which hails its new parter's "unrivalled reputation, strong customer base and single-minded storage focus makes it the perfect distribution partner as we look to expand our business [in the UK]". ®
