Acer is pushing Hitachi Data Systems storage kit to smaller companies in Italy, and will expand the program to all the major European countries over the next 18 months.

The companies already collaborate in Asia. They are now mirroring the deal in EMEA. Italy is the first target market, with Germany slated for later in the year. Next up is the UK, in the first half of next year, with France in the back end of 2007.

Acer’s existing storage brand will be phased out in favour of the Acer-HDS label.®
