Arrow Electronics is expanding its AI capabilities with the introduction of an AI Companion for its cloud delivery and management platform ArrowSphere Cloud, which now also offers Copilot for Microsoft 365 to partners in EMEA.
ArrowSphere Assistant is an AI-powered cloud business companion for channel partners who manage their cloud business through ArrowSphere Cloud. Powered by Microsoft Azure AI, it generates reports and makes recommendations to help partners grow their cloud business, improve their financial performance, find efficiencies and develop new and untapped business opportunities.
Paired with the ArrowSphere Cloud security dashboard, ArrowSphere Assistant can also provide actionable security intelligence on security postures in minutes, including remediation recommendations.
Eric Gourmelen, Vice President and CTO of ArrowSphere at Arrow, said: “ArrowSphere Assistant capitalises on the power of generative AI technology, combined with
the robust business data in ArrowSphere Cloud, to provide unprecedented quality of answers to channel partner inquiries.”
To help partners make the most of the addition of Copilot for Microsoft 365 to ArrowSphere Cloud, Arrow is delivering a dedicated programme of enablement supported by over 300 Copilot-certified specialists in EMEA that can support channel partners with Copilot implementations. Each one is fully licenced for Copilot for Microsoft 365.
Arrow, IBM Cloud and Anycloud collaboration
Arrow Electronics has expanded its managed services offering with the launch of Arrow Cloud Object Storage for Backup, a new solution with unlimited capacity, available exclusively to Arrow channel partners via ArrowSphere Cloud.
The product of a collaboration between Arrow, IBM Cloud and Anycloud, an international vendor of cloud SaaS offerings, the scalable native object storage solution features data storage in IBM data centres; advanced encryption and data protection; an easy-to-use management portal; and a fixed price per TB model whereby customers only pay for their storage consumption, with no setup fees or variables.

Together, we will introduce a pioneering market solution for the EMEA region, with plans for global expansion.”
