The architecture of the modern data center is evolving. While once the exclusive domain of global hyperscalers, high-performance, disaggregated networking and storage are becoming the standard for enterprises of all sizes – driven largely by the explosive growth of AI and data-intensive workloads.
To accelerate this transition, Celestica is proud to announce a strategic partnership with ASI Computer Technologies, Inc., a premier North American IT distributor. This collaboration provides value-added resellers (VARs) and system integrators with direct access to the same high-density, high-efficiency hardware that powers the world’s most demanding environments.
“ASI Computer Technologies, Inc.’s market reach and deep-rooted relationships within the North American channel make them an ideal partner to bring our Portfolio Solutions to a wider market,” says Devann Garner, Sales Leader for Portfolio Solutions at Celestica. “By combining our engineering leadership with ASI’s technical expertise, we are making it easier than ever for businesses to deploy world-class infrastructure without the traditional barriers to entry.”
Proven Hardware for AI-Ready Enterprise Data Centers
While many enterprises are forced to choose between proprietary, closed-source solutions and unproven hardware, the Celestica and ASI Computer Technologies, Inc. partnership delivers a reliable, scalable path forward.
Celestica’s storage and networking solutions are engineered for the most rigorous performance standards. Through ASI Computer Technologies, Inc.’s distribution network, these enterprise-grade platforms are now available with the local availability and rapid fulfillment that the channel requires to keep pace with the AI evolution.
Open Networking Solutions: Choice and Flexibility with SONiC
A central pillar of this partnership is the move toward Open Networking. By supporting SONiC (Software for Open Networking in the Cloud), Celestica hardware allows ASI Computer Technologies, Inc.’s customers to choose the software layer that best fits their operational needs.
This disaggregated approach means businesses are no longer locked into a single vendor's roadmap. They can scale their storage and networking independently, optimizing for cost, performance, and specific AI or data-heavy workloads.
Kent Tibbils, VP of Marketing at ASI Computer Technologies, said “Modern systems need large amounts of data in order to generate actionable outcomes which is driving continued demand for more storage across businesses of all sizes. As such, Celestica is an essential strategic partner for ASI. Being able to offer our customers the same high-quality solutions that are deployed in the industries most advanced data centers with the ability to customize the storage configuration and support Open Networking is a critical value add that will differentiate our customers’ business as well as strengthen their competitive opportunity.”
