Ingram Micro, a US-based technology distributor, has launched an updated AI Center of Excellence in Singapore with NetApp and Cisco.

The facility gives enterprises a place to test AI tools before deployment.

It is also meant to help independent software vendors shorten time to market.

Validated products can then be listed on Ingram Micro’s Xvantage platform.

The setup combines NetApp’s storage and data management software with Cisco’s data center, security, and observability systems.

Ingram Micro said it will also offer NetApp Keystone through Xvantage for the first time.

NetApp, a US-based data infrastructure company, describes Keystone as storage as a service, a consumption-based procurement option.
