Global technology solutions provider Arrow Electronics has established networked experience centres in Alpharetta and Stockholm. These centres function as hubs focused on technologies including AI, cloud, and security.
Arrow’s experience centres are intended to support channel partners in exploring applications of technologies such as AI, machine learning, and data science within IT environments. The centres provide capabilities across three main areas for vendors, partners, and end customers in Europe and North America.
- Hybrid Infrastructure: The centres support the development and demonstration of multi-vendor hardware and software solutions for organisations assessing secure on-premise, cloud, and AI deployments.
- Cybersecurity, Risk, and Resilience: Solutions are developed to support the protection of critical systems, data, and operations, as well as to address organisational resilience and risk management requirements.
- Services and Consultancy: The centres provide training, enablement, and knowledge-sharing activities aimed at identifying implementation gaps and assessing potential opportunities within solution deployments.
The centres provide access to more than 100 pre-built and tested solutions, allowing channel partners to select existing offerings or adapt them with support from Arrow’s engineers and technicians. These include a range of tested use cases that can be adjusted to specific business requirements.
According to Arrow, the experience centres are intended to support channel partners by providing a platform for testing use cases, creating demonstrations, and supporting the operation of workloads across different locations. They are also positioned as environments that facilitate collaboration and the development of new business opportunities.
