Akamai Teams with Arrow Electronics to Bring Apps Closer to Users

Akamai announced a new relationship with Arrow Electronics’ enterprise computing solutions (ECS) business that expands access to Akamai’s cloud, security and application delivery solutions across Arrow’s growing ecosystem.

Arrow, a member of Akamai Partner Connect, works with leading technology vendors and channel partners to deliver end-to-end IT solutions spanning cloud, data center, security, networking, and software. Built to meet modern security demands, Akamai’s platform moves applications closer to users and applies layered protection across applications, APIs, and infrastructure. This edge-first approach enables organizations to enhance user experiences while maintaining resilience and security across highly distributed environments, said the companies.

“Arrow amplifies the reach and impact of our product portfolio through its extensive channel partner relationships and strong engineering, sales and marketing capabilities,” said PJ Joseph, executive vice president, Global Sales and Services at Akamai. “This alliance accelerates time to market, expands solution opportunities, and enables customers to bundle Akamai into broader cloud, security, and managed service offerings.”

“Adding Akamai as a vendor strengthens our ability to support channel partners as customer needs continue to evolve across cloud, security, and application delivery,” added Matt Brennan, vice president of Supplier Alliances for Security and Modern Infrastructure at Arrow Electronics. “Our role is to make it easier for channel partners to access, integrate, and scale technologies that fit into broader, multi-vendor solutions, and this new relationship expands the options available to help channel partners serve their customers more effectively.”
