D&H CANADA ENHANCES ITS LINECARD WITH SIX NEW VENDORS IN STORAGE, MOBILITY AND MORE

MISSISSAUGA, ONT - February 6, 2012 - D&H Canada, the major North American computer products and consumer electronics distributor, announces it has signed agreements with six new vendors in the past several months, starting off 2012 with a strengthened vendor portfolio in multiple key categories. The distributor has added Archos' versatile line of Android- and Windows-based tablets, plus Jabra's high-fidelity headsets for devices, in the mobile space. In the storage arena, which is recovering after 2011's Thai flooding, D&H Canada has added G-Technology's Mac-based storage solutions and CRU-Dataport's RAID systems. In addition, D&H will carry Ooma's VoIP phone solutions, plus Blue Microphones' audio technology for the recording enthusiast.

These products and categories run the gamut of D&H's offerings, from networking solutions to personal computing to components and VoIP products. These additions to D&H Canada's linecard show an overall growth pattern as the distributor continues to become more entrenched in the SMB marketplace, and as it comes upon its fifth-year anniversary. Similarly, D&H Canada's customer base is always growing, currently at an average of approximately 60 customers per month.

Meet D&H's New Vendor Partners:

Archos: Archos offers a list of tablets and ereaders varying in size from 10-inch models to more compact, 5-inch web-surfing devices. One of the early non-iPad tablet developers, Archos has a roster of Android- and "Honeycomb"-based models, plus the Windows-based Archos 9 pctablet, and more.

Jabra: Jabra produces headsets for mobile phones, cars, and office environments, encompassing Bluetooth, in-car, corded and wireless models to fit any use. SMB-based models include headsets that are optimized for unified communications.

G-Tech: G-Technology by Hitachi is the creator of premium external storage solutions for the Apple Mac and A/V content creation communities, including the G-SPEED, G-RAID and G-DRIVE product families. This line-up includes rugged portable drives and ultra-fast, multi-drive RAID solutions.

CRU-Dataport: CRU offers portable, handheld storage drives, including the new, easily "swappable" ToughTech Duo RAID system. These removable and external hard drives boast a superior standard for physical security and safe data transport, making them a fine option for sensitive markets such as the government, education or financial verticals.

Ooma: Ooma's home VoIP system delivers high-definition voice clarity for an affordable, effective Internet-based phone service. Ooma's easy-to-use, plug-and-play units feature the company's new "PureVoice" HD technology.

Blue Microphones: Blue Microphones claim the "ultimate" USB and XLR microphones for professional recording, including portable and desktop models, audio tools and accessories.

"We've pursued partners in a wide range of areas, building on our already diverse linecard," said Mike DeKok, director of purchasing at D&H Canada. "D&H's ability to represent such a broad ecosystem helps us to become that one-stop resource for our resellers and dealers.
