Tech Data, a TD SYNNEX Company, has on Monday announced its acquisition of Orca Technology Pty Ltd (Orca Tech), an independent value-added distributor focused on the information technology (IT) security marketplace in Australia & New Zealand (ANZ).
Effective immediately, this acquisition strengthens Tech Data’s IT Security footprint through its enhanced technical capabilities, solutions and portfolio, Tech Data said in a statement.

With a 100 percent focus on security, Orca Tech’s team possesses deep technical knowledge and capabilities, which will combine with, and complement the existing Tech Data ANZ security competencies, vendors and partners.
Tech Data will add hyperscaler marketplaces with AWS and Microsoft through its StreamOne Ion platform and help simplify the complexities of the cloud transition for Orca
Tech’s vendors and partners.
Tech Data will also bring to bear security and cloud services as well our unique Center of Excellence environments and Practice Builder toolsets.
