IRVINE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Ingram Micro Holding Corporation (NYSE: INGM) today announced it has been selected as a “Global Distributor” for HPE.

“Ingram Micro has been a trusted partner to HPE for more than two decades and naming them a Global Distributor reflects the scale they bring and the mutual commitment we share to help partners grow,” said Simon Ewington, SVP, Worldwide Channel & Partner Ecosystem, HPE. “With expanded territory reach and full access to the HPE portfolio, from networking to cloud and AI, Ingram Micro can help deliver greater simplicity, consistency and speed for our channel ecosystem and the customers they serve worldwide.”

The new designation provides Ingram Micro with full access to HPE’s entire portfolio, including HPE networking, cloud, and AI solutions.
