CaenAV to Provide Global Distribution with High-end AV Storage Products

CaenAV announced a strategic partnership with The Global Distribution Group based in Cambridge, UK, today. The Global Distribution Group is a unique premiere digital audio and video distributor selling high-end storage solutions to resellers and VARs throughout Europe, the Middle East and Asia.

CaenAV, a subsidiary of storage manufacturer Caen Engineering, Inc., is focused on providing high-end, high-performance storage products for the digital video, audio and animation industry.

"Due to the shear number of so called A/V RAID solutions available on the market today it has become very apparent over the last year that the A/V market required a reliable, high performance and defined brand that does what it says on the box. Partnering with CaenAV makes this a reality," said Keith Warburton, EMEA Sales Director for Global. "A/V professionals work to tight deadlines, CaenAV has made it clear that they are dedicated to bringing high-end qualified RAID storage solutions to market that are targeted specifically to the A/V markets with approvals from leading manufacturers and OEMs. CaenAV solutions provide reliability and high-performance for SD and HD applications, it is obvious that they have been designed with the video and audio professional in mind."

The Global Distribution Group will initially stock a variety of CaenAV storage solutions targeted specifically for the SD and HD markets. These will include the Raptor 8, Raptor8HD and 12 and 12HD products as well as the Fortress 14-bay 2Gb Fibre Channel solutions.

“CaenAV is excited about this partnership with Global,” said Ed Bacorn, CaenAV’s Sales Representative. “We were looking to partner with a company that has a solid understanding of what their customers want, and more specifically what they need in order to work within the fast-changing digital video and audio markets. We believe that we’ve found that partnership with Global, they have a tremendous reputation for assessing and addressing their customer’s needs, and we’re happy to know that they will be doing this with CaenAV storage.
