Arbitech continues to meet the demands of its customers by offering total solutions in an efficient and cost effective manner."

Mr. Mark Dunlap, VP of Purchasing for Arbitech, added: "The addition of XIO to our product offering is a natural progression for Arbitech.  As Arbitech has become the preeminent distributor in the independent channel, it has sought to partner with established manufacturers in more traditional relationships.  XIO is a leading storage innovator that is recognized globally for its products."
