ENGLEWOOD, Colo.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--For the second consecutive year in a row, Arrow Enterprise Computing Solutions, a business segment of Arrow Electronics Inc. [NYSE: ARW], has received the Oracle PartnerNetwork Global Award for Value-Added Distributor of the Year. Arrow ECS was presented with this prestigious award for 2010 during Oracle® OpenWorld on Sept. 19.

Arrow ECS was selected for the award by Oracle’s worldwide alliances and channels management team based on the revenue growth it helped resellers achieve through robust enablement offerings focused on assisting resellers with becoming specialized and selling a larger cross-section of Oracle solutions.

By providing products in server-based computing, infrastructure edge, security, wireless and network management areas, Arrow ECS is able to help resellers service a number of markets, including health care, finance, government and retail, among others.

“Arrow made a significant and focused effort this year on growing our Oracle software resellers’ businesses and continuing our strong market position in the Sun hardware space,” said Andy Bryant, president of Arrow ECS. “We are particularly proud of the work that we have done this year to integrate Sun resellers into the Oracle PartnerNetwork through our successful ‘Fast Track’ program that began in the United States and is now under way in many countries throughout Europe.”

“Arrow ECS has provided outstanding support to Oracle this past year,” said Judson Althoff, senior vice president, worldwide alliances and channels and embedded sales, Oracle. “Particularly as we worked to integrate the Sun business into Oracle, Arrow ECS’ marketing, enablement and services support helped to minimize disruption for resellers and continue growth for our products around the world.”
