- Altron Arrow has confirmed that it has secured the rights to distribute ASUS AI GPU hardware in South Africa.
- The move comes as it prepares to ready its local channel customers for the AI boom.
- It also brought in a leading AI consultant to gain access to and develop the right skills to deploy AI infrastructure successfully.
The disruptive impact of artificial intelligence across all industries is too pervasive to ignore, and to ensure its channel customers have access to the necessary hardware to leverage the AI boom locally, Altron Arrow has announced that it has secured the rights to distribute ASUS AI GPUs in South Africa.
The distributor highlighted the next two years as a crucial period for local businesses, with Altron Arrow wanting to enable growth when demand takes off.
“We want businesses, entrepreneurs and educational institutions to have access to the hardware and the expertise to make this happen,” explained MD, Renato Martins (pictured above).
Along with securing the rights to distribute the hardware, the company has also brought in a leading AI consultant in the form of Ivan Coetzee, to gain access to, as well as develop the right skills to deploy AI infrastructure successfully.
“Coetzee, who has worked extensively on AI projects in the UK is very excited about the new development,” noted Aktron Arrow in a release shared with Hypertext.
“This announcement signals a major leap forward for the local South African AI landscape. With ASUS’s cutting-edge AI GPU technology now being distributed through Altron Arrow, South Africa gains direct access to the kind of infrastructure that’s driving AI innovation globally,” added Coetzee.
He also pointed out that the ability to bring hardware into the country is significant for those organisations wanting to shift from consumption to creation.
“We’re now in a position to bring those same breakthroughs directly into South African businesses, campuses, and innovation labs. It’s a step toward real technological sovereignty — not just consuming AI, but creating with it,” he enthused.
Those local businesses interested in the ASUS AI GPUs, or wanting a demonstration of its capabilities, are urged to reach out to Altron Arrow, here.
