We’re excited to announce Elastic’s partnership with Arrow Electronics. The Elastic Search AI Platform will now be available to resellers through ArrowSphere — a digital platform that simplifies and streamlines how resellers access, acquire, manage, and optimize technology solutions on behalf of customers.

This new distribution agreement will make it dramatically easier for channel partners to work with Elastic, significantly reducing the time and effort required to quote, purchase, and fulfill Elastic solutions.  

Offering the Elastic portfolio of Search AI powered Security, Observability, and Search solutions in ArrowSphere reaffirms our commitment to helping organizations accelerate their migration away from legacy vendors.

What is ArrowSphere?

ArrowSphere is a single modular platform engineered to offer seamless access to countless products, solutions, and services offered by Arrow through a unified interface. It provides a comprehensive environment where software can be quoted, purchased, fulfilled, deployed, and managed — vastly simplifying the way business is done for both resellers and end customers.

Elastic value through ArrowSphere

As a global distributor of leading technologies and services, Arrow will enable an extensive channel ecosystem to sell solutions from Elastic, making it easier than ever for resellers to accelerate their customers’ AI adoption. 

"Search AI is an extremely dynamic field, and today's enterprises expect timely access to the right data solutions where and when they are needed," said Alyssa Fitzpatrick, global vice president, partner sales at Elastic. "Arrow is a technology leader known for connecting customers with comprehensive solutions quickly. We are confident that this agreement will expand our market coverage, and with Arrow, customers can count on the consistently high level of service that they have come to expect from Elastic. We are excited to add them to our best-in-class distribution network."

Benefits

Elastic’s integration within ArrowSphere can benefit resellers across multiple facets of the solution lifecycle:

  • Streamlined processes: Dramatically reduce the time and effort required for customers to purchase and deploy Elastic solutions. Start with easy discovery of Elastic solution listings in the ArrowSphere Marketplace followed by simplified order processes and provisioning via digital quote, order, and fulfillment capabilities. 

  • Robust management: Whether self-managed or delivered through hyperscaler marketplaces like AWS or Azure, cloud management in ArrowSphere Cloud makes it easier than ever for resellers to manage Elastic deployments. Leverage tools to oversee detailed usage metrics and analytics for judicious administration.

  • Hyperscaler consumption monitoring and alerts: When ArrowSphere deploys Elastic via an AWS or Azure Marketplace, ArrowSphere is able to apply advanced alerting mechanisms that can help organizations manage their spend. Avoid potential overages caused by unexpected usage spikes or suboptimal configurations. Prevent unpleasant surprises and ensure more predictable costs through proactive tracking.

We’re confident this distribution agreement will provide resellers with the end-to-end lifecycle management that will help our customers move faster and more efficiently, enabling growth at speed and scale.

Better together

Together, Elastic and Arrow will facilitate efficiency, simplicity, and advanced capabilities for our reseller partners and customers. By leveraging the ArrowSphere platform, we aim to provide resellers with a superior experience that simplifies and streamlines how they do business, enhances monitoring, and offers comprehensive support throughout the solution lifecycle.
