TiGi Selects Exclusive Distributor For Innovative DataThroughput Accelerator
Denver, Colo., August 4, 2003 – TiGi Corporation today announced that it has selected Alternative Technology, Inc., a leading distributor of server-based computing products in North America, as an exclusive channel for its TiGiJet data-throughput accelerator. Together the organizations launched the TiGiJet and the TiGi Partner Network.
Through its innovative use of solid state technology, TiGiJet data-throughput accelerators speed data response time of existing applications and databases by 800% or more. It can also double, or even triple the scalability of server-based environments such as Citrix MetaFrame. The TiGiJet’s open architecture design enables it to work inside any server or storage system using a standard SCSI interface.
"The TiGiJet is a unique opportunity for resellers to help their customers dramatically improve the speed and scalability of their existing IT systems," said Bill Botti, president and COO of Alternative Technology. "We’ve just launched and we’re already seeing tremendous interest from channel partners and their end-customers."
The TiGiJet product was introduced to partners earlier this month through Alternative. Nearly 50 channel companies from across North America have already indicated an interest to join the TiGi Partner Network.
"TiGi is completely focused on delivering high-value products through the channel," said Leroy Hand, president and CEO of TiGi. "Alternative’s strong reputation among value added resellers and their emphasis on server-based computing environments makes them a natural go-to-market partner."
