Database & Middleware
Your clients use a number of devices which all have operating systems with different applications. It’s important that you have the right middleware to facilitate the interactions between the operating systems and applications. First Distribution offers effective Database and Middleware solutions to permit this type of communication and data management.
Data Insights & Analytics
Data is one of the most important aspects of any business. You need to be able to collect information, understand the data and then analyse and see what the information means to your business.
Not having the proper tools and software for your business to properly collect, analyse and get insights on your company information could be a massive loss. Browse our Data Insights & Analytics product offerings to see where we can assist.
Virtualisation
First Distribution’s leading vendor virtualisation product offerings enable users to save up to 70% on overall IT costs by consolidating resource pools and delivering highly available machines.
By dividing a single physical server into multiple logical servers, virtualisation creates a more dynamic and flexible data centre whilst also drastically reducing the total cost of ownership of IT infrastructure.
Networking
Speed and reliability are all-important when it comes to communication and data networking within organisations, especially as businesses move towards cloud-based systems.
First Distribution’s range of top-class vendors can help with all your networking needs including connectivity, cabling, fiber, nested security, UTM, routing and wireless networks.
Converged & Hyper-Converged
First Distribution’s premier brands are leaders in providing the necessary Converged and Hyper converged Infrastructure for you needs.
Converged infrastructure (CI) brings the four core aspects of a data center — compute, storage, networking and server virtualization – into a single chassis.
Hyper-converged infrastructure (HCI) adds tighter integration between more components through software.
Servers and Storage
As a distributor of some of the world’s foremost brands, First Distribution offers a complete portfolio of mission-critical servers that are engineered to deliver record-breaking performance, simplified management, and cost-saving efficiencies.
First Distribution’s renowned datacentre and enterprise solutions ensure greater automation and responsiveness in the delivery of business services. Vendor systems are also designed to run leading operating and virtualisation platforms with greater performance and efficiency and serve as basic building blocks for the implementation of cloud infrastructure.
Utilising best of breed hardware ensures resilience, interoperability and integration with leading cloud software providers.
The recent explosion in the amount of data in the workplace has led to constant innovation in data storage solutions.
First Distribution’s premier brands are leaders in providing the necessary hardware required to deal with all data including archiving, data backup & recovery, warehousing, replication, virtualisation, content management systems and specialised storage designed to deal with ‘big data’.
Cyber Security
First Distribution’s premier cyber security vendors offer a wide range of cyber security technologies including network layer security, email security, firewalls, antivirus software, browser security and ‘Unified Threat Management’ (UTM), a comprehensive solution that has recently emerged in the network security industry as a primary network gateway defence solution for organisations.

Unified Communications
Unified Communications (UC) describes the integration of real-time, enterprise, communication services such as instant messaging (chat), presence information, voice (including IP telephony), mobility features (including extension mobility and single number reach), audio, web & video conferencing, fixed-mobile convergence (FMC), desktop sharing, data sharing (including web connected electronic interactive whiteboards), call control and speech recognition … with non-real-time communication services such as unified messaging (integrated voicemail, e-mail, SMS and fax).
UC is not necessarily a single product, but a set of products that provides a consistent unified user-interface and user-experience across multiple devices and media-types.
