Broomfield, CO – January 17, 2005:
Minicom Advanced Systems, a leading manufacturer of
innovative
KVM switches,
AV digital
signage solutions, and Computer Based
Training systems, announced today that
DirectNET
Inc., a National Value-Added Reseller (VAR) of
KVM switch
solutions,
has obtained the status of the #1 VAR for
Minicom
for 2004.
"We are particularly proud of our
association with
DirectNET," said Saul Mishaan, President of
Minicom
North America. "Their success reaffirms
Minicom’s
commitment to building and nurturing long-term partnerships with
our customers and vendors.
DirectNET
is one of the most technically knowledgeable companies in the
KVM
industry and their proven record of exceeding customer
expectations is certainly one of the keys to their success with
selling
Minicom
products. We intend to nurture
that partnership through 2005 by providing support for
DirectNET’s
multiple sales channels."
Alan Mamane, CEO of
DirectNET,
credits DirectNET’s two strongest business units for the
achievement. “This year our
42U KVM Switch
Solutions
sales force have aggressively infiltrated the
enterprise and mid-range data center market, and that success has
lead to us maintaining our Top Vendor status with
Minicom
and other vendors,” said Mr. Mamane.
42U
is currently the national leader of enterprise
KVM Switch
Solutions. Mr. Mamane also commented that
the success of
KVM Switches
Online, the largest
KVM Switch
e-commerce store in USA, generated more volume sales for Minicom’s
KVM Switch products due to the ability of consumers to
easily click and buy. “We are pleased with our
Minicom
sales performance this year and with the introduction of Minicom’s
new
Cat5 KVM Switches;
the
DX 432
& the
DX 832,
we expect even greater growth in our sales of
Minicom
products for 2005,” said Mr. Mamane.
