The First Distribution
Product Stack
First Distribution’s Product Stack allows vendors and business partners to view the full extent of the
company’s distribution offerings at a glance.
T
he First Distribution Product Stack was introduced partly to counter the
notion that the company was still reliant on one or two sectors of the
industry. Its roots are based on the technology stack models which are
found in various forms within the industry where similar communication functions are grouped into logical layers. A layer serves the layer above it, and is
in turn served by the layer below it. In First Distribution’s application however,
each layer represents an integral component of a total packaged solution whilst
simultaneously representing a broad industry area in which First Distribution
offers vendor products and solutions.
Breaking it Down
First Distribution’s Product Stack can be broken down into eight levels, namely
Client Computing, Hosted Solutions, Security, Software, Virtualisation, Storage,
Servers and Networking. Let’s take a look at the various stack levels in more
detail:
Client Computing – The ability to remotely connect anytime & anywhere
securely is in high demand. By de-coupling the device from the network, IT can
now support all kinds of users in maximising client computing investment and
minimising costs, on everything from smart phones to thin clients. First Distribution’s range of premium vendor offerings lead the way.
