This is the latest in a strong of moves the distributor has made to strengthen its ArrowSphere offering.

"OCI currently operates 33 commercial regions and seven government regions, in addition to multiple dedicated and national security regions. By making OCI services available to Arrow's cloud channel network more customers than ever will gain access to the cloud."
