Parallels and Ingram Micro announce distribution agreement

Parallels Inc has announced it has signed a distribution agreement with Ingram Micro Inc, making Ingram Micro the authorised distributor for Parallels’ Remote Application Server (RAS) for the Middle East, Turkey and Africa (META) region.

Parallels RAS is one of the fastest growing, most cost-effective and easy-to-use application and desktop delivery solutions available on the market. Recent innovations to this product have made Parallels a leader in the field, according to the IDC MarketScape Report 2016.

Parallels has a long history with Ingram Micro, and is looking forward to leveraging Ingram Micro’s expertise and resources in the Middle East, Turkey and Africa to help extend Parallels RAS’ continued success in the region. “We are ready to take our growth in the META region to the next level with Ingram Micro, a company that has extensive expertise and experience in this region,” said Simonetta Mercieca, Senior Director of Sales EMEA at Parallels. “Through this partnership, we firmly believe that Parallels’ Remote Application Server can keep growing in success, especially since it will provide local businesses the opportunity to improve their performance by establishing BYOD, CYOD and distance working policies.”

Parallels’ leadership is confident that the Ingram Micro partnership and the inclusion of Parallels’ RAS on the Azure Marketplace will enable the company to meet the diverse needs of businesses in the region while helping their partners grow with their private, hybrid and public cloud implementations.

“I am delighted to have reached an agreement with Parallels to distribute its Remote Application Server and desktop delivery solution across the Middle East, Turkey and Africa,” said Dr Ali Baghdadi, Senior Vice President and Chief Executive of Ingram Micro META. “These products offer our partners a great complement to solutions from Microsoft.
