On 15-16 October, JPY supported Consolidate IT at this year's Storage Expo at Olympia. Consolidate IT are handling the European sales of the Arista Networks Ethernet Switches, and JPY will be their partner in the UK - specialising in the Apple connectivity and video workflow markets.

The Arista 24-port switches on display caused quite a stir. (Almost as much as the Teddy Bear hot water bottles that Consolidate were giving away on the stand.) Many visitors were blown away by the fact such a device even existed - offering a full 24 or 48 ports of 10 Mb connectivity.

It was great to see many of JPY's existing customers at the show. The show attendance was quite amazing given the current economic climate.
