Chris Curley, Co-founder & VP, Sales AmericaThe firm consolidates the overall procurement process, assisting enterprises with expedited project completion and reduced time to market. Complementing the on-demand supply is the company’s logistics approach that ensures products are delivered on time without fail.
EPSGlobal’s 28 global locations including three distribution hubs—Dublin, Ireland, Indiana, and Suzhou, China—are stocked with a wealth of hardware products. This facilitates them to cater to a customer’s needs for varied products while minimizing lead times and enabling single shipment delivery— eliminating the hassle of sourcing from multiple vendors. “We ensure a full range of component supply from a single vendor, without making our customers wait,” states Curley.
“As a franchised global distributor, we provide all SDDC products, including servers, storage, switches, optics and cables, for IT, telco, retail, BFSI, government and defense, media, life sciences, and utilities industries,” asserts Curley.
EPSGlobal fulfils the advanced needs of modern SDDCs by partnering with premier OEMs like Finisar, Edgecore, Penguin Computing, Microsemi, Solarflare, and Chelsio. For instance: Edgecore Networks (a subsidiary of Accton, the world’s leading network ODM) that designs and manufactures customized switches; and Finisar, the world’s largest supplier of optical communication products are some of the pioneers the company partners with.

The end result—customers are benefited with a package of cutting-edge products without searching for multiple vendors.
Taking the spotlight amongst its prime offerings is EPSGlobal’s supply of equipment that offers end-users the much-needed flexibility and control over their network operating systems (NOS). For instance, Whitebox and bare metal switches from Edgecore are among the prime offerings from EPSGlobal’s product portfolio. Designed without a preloaded operating system, the switches enable enterprises to install their preferred NOS to the hardware that best fit their specific needs. At the heart of this, it is the company’s inclination toward Open Compute Project infrastructure—a community dedicated to unshackling proprietary IT infrastructures—that supports the flexibility of their vendor-agnostic strategy, reducing vendor lock-in and greater choice of customization. “We offer a reliable supply of SDDC products from our Open Compute Project-approved suppliers and we also have strong relationships with all of the SDN software vendors,” remarks Curley.
As the SDDC landscape is still in its infancy, product distributors like EPSGlobal are all set to take the center stage in enabling this new-age data center transformation faster and simpler. With Gartner predicting the programmatic capabilities of SDDC to be a requirement for 75 percent of Global 2000 enterprises in the coming days, EPSGlobal is bound to play a prime role in the supply of end-to-end quality products. “We understand that SDDC is an enabling and emerging technology, offering a plethora of benefits to our customers—a reason why we have tailored our product portfolio to embrace the move,” Curley concludes.

LAS VEGAS - EPS Global, a leading value-added distributor in the Open Networking ecosystem, along with their technology partners IP Infusion and IO by HFCL, have today announced the launch of an end-to-end disaggregated OpenWiFi bundle for hospitality and MDUs. The OpenWiFi bundle will be showcased at the WISPAPALOOZA event in Las Vegas on October 9th to 12th, Booth #544.
OpenWiFi is a groundbreaking initiative launched by the Telecom Infra Project (TIP) in May 2021 aimed at driving infrastructure solutions to advance global connectivity. The community-driven development, and commercial-grade automated testing will help the industry to accelerate the delivery of more innovative and efficient solutions for Carrier and Enterprise-grade Wi-Fi for the next decade.

The benefits of the bundle include disaggregation, OpenRoaming, enhanced security, significant cost savings, supplier diversity, and unparalleled flexibility. It offers a full suite of advanced features aimed at improving network performance and reliability.

At the end of the day guests just want a hassle-free Wi-Fi access and this bundle provides it, but at a more cost-effective price point than proprietary systems.”
