Ingram Micro, NetApp and Cisco update AI test facility in Singapore
Ingram Micro has upgraded its AI center in Singapore in collaboration with NetApp and Cisco. The facility provides enterprises with a testing ground to evaluate AI tools before formal deployment.
Technology distributor Ingram Micro has launched an updated artificial intelligence center of excellence in Singapore. The facility, developed alongside partners NetApp and Cisco, serves as a testing environment where enterprises can evaluate the performance and viability of AI tools before integrating them into their operations.
The hub combines NetApp’s storage and data management software with Cisco’s suite of data center, security, and observability systems. The project is designed to help independent software vendors reduce their time to market by providing a validated space to troubleshoot and optimize their software.
Following successful validation, products can be listed on Ingram Micro’s Xvantage platform. Additionally, Ingram Micro will now offer NetApp Keystone—a consumption-based storage-as-a-service model—directly through the Xvantage platform, marking the first time the service has been integrated into this specific procurement portal.
