BROOMFIELD, Colo.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Plasmon (LSE:PLM), the trusted source in archiving solutions, today announced the company has experienced significant reseller growth as a result of its partnership with Avnet Technology Solutions, Americas, a value-added distributor of enterprise computing products, embedded subsystems, software and services and an operating group of Avnet, Inc. (NYSE:AVT).

Of Plasmon’s newly acquired U.S. resellers in 2007, nearly 65 percent are attributed to its agreement with Avnet to distribute and provide services and support for Plasmon's archival products and solutions to authorized value-added reseller partners in North America.

“Avnet’s reseller partners are seeing increased demand for archival solutions and are relying on companies such as Plasmon to help them expand their sales opportunities in the storage market,” said Jeff Bawol, senior vice president and general manager, Avnet Technology Solutions, Americas, Enterprise Software and Storage Solutions group. “The growth Plasmon is seeing from the Avnet reseller community is the result of the value of Plasmon's advanced archival solutions and Avnet’s focus on partner enablement."

“With the addition of these geographically dispersed resellers to our already strong partner portfolio, Plasmon continues to expand its opportunity and reach into a new customer base,” said Steven Murphy, CEO, Plasmon. “We are confident that this momentum will continue as businesses are seeing a growing need for archiving solutions that mitigate the business risk around retention and compliance requirements.”

Plasmon offers its reseller partners a Business Archive Management methodology and assessment tool that helps organizations reduce business and legal risks, decrease costs and create new opportunities and revenue streams. This is in addition to Plasmon’s UDO (Ultra Density Optical) professional archival solutions including the Enterprise Active Archive that provides a secure, multi-tier archiving solution that manages data on both online and offline media.
