Hammer, the dedicated storage distributor and number one supplier for enterprise disk in Europe, has introduced a ‘registered disk partner’ scheme for its customers.


Vendors HGST, Seagate, Toshiba and Western Digital have collaborated with Hammer to form this scheme, giving customers a superior level of support to complement Hammer’s comprehensive disk portfolio.


Benefits of becoming a partner include access to advance replacement drives, full integration and configuration services, early product and market updates, engineering and ‘design-in’ support consultancy, priority stock allocation, plus many more.


The launch of the initiative comprises a comprehensive Hammer Disk portal for customers to glean more information on the four vendors and Hammer’s disk abilities, plus a dedicated Hammer Disk Twitter page and YouTube channel to enhance customer interaction and support further.
Nick Powling, General Manager for Disk at Hammer, explains why the distributor is in the best position to provide this resource to customers who have a particular focus on disk. “We are proud to work so closely with our four disk vendors and to have such strong relationships with them – we are ideally placed as a distributor to bring together such strong resource. As a focused disk distributor in Europe, and with the growing diversity of both HDD and SSD products being released to suit different applications, we recognised the need to enhance the information flow to our partners.”


He continues: “Our aim is to supply the right drive for the right application every time, and to provide new and existing customers with a true value-add experience that suits their needs. With this initiative, we look forward to merging our disk vendors’ knowledge with Hammer’s renowned capabilities to provide the ultimate disk offering.”


Hammer offers over 1,000 models of disk drive (covering all tiers of workload and performance from desktop to enterprise), has sold over 10 million drives and has shipped over 10,000 petabytes of disk capacity since the company was founded in 1991.


Becoming a registered disk partner also gives customers the opportunity to win one of 12 places on Hammer’s exclusive 3-night Monaco Grand Prix trip in May 2014.
