HP's videoconferencing solution now distributed through Ingram Micro

HP's (NYSE: HPQ) software-based videoconferencing solutions have been turning heads since their launch in November, but they haven't been as widely distributed as other offerings on the market. That's about to change.

HP has announced that Ingram Micro will be the first authorized distributor of HP's Visual Collaboration videoconferencing solutions. The agreement means that Ingram Micro can offer the HP solution to its network of value-added resellers (VARs). This is the first time the Visual Collaboration solution has been offered in the channel. 

HP's software-based videoconferencing solutions include a desktop client, executive desktop and room systems and are based on a scalable HD video coding technology.

"HP Visual Collaboration sees tremendous business value in partnering with Ingram Micro and opening up this IT channel," said Rob Scott, vice president and general manager, Visual Collaboration, HP. "Our desire is that VARs are able to build and grow a profitable practice around HP's visual collaboration solutions, and Ingram Micro makes that possible."
