Future Electronics President Robert Miller Congratulates Upstate NY Office on Their 35th Anniversary

Montreal, Canada (release-news.) August 24, 2020 - Future Electronics, a global leading distributor of electronic components, recently celebrated the 35th anniversary of the company's branch in upstate New York.

Future Electronics was founded in Montreal in 1968 by company President Robert Miller. It expanded into the United States in 1972, opening its first American office in Boston.

The upstate New York branch first opened its doors in 1985, and together with the Syracuse site, serves the region with a combined industry experience of 275 years. "In the last three years, we've quickly become a best-in-class Demand Creation Distributor," said Jake Willebrandt, General Manager of the branch. "The depth of knowledge of each individual, combined with the ongoing training by Future Electronics, has enabled us to build lasting partnerships with customers and suppliers."

The regional market continues to diversify, with many technology incubators coming to life, while the Defense, Medical and Industrial segments remain strong. Last fall, the branch hosted its first Tech Fair, which the market hadn't seen in over five years. The event brought together over 20 suppliers and 100 customers, and team members received an overwhelmingly positive response.

"I'm always impressed with our team's ability to size up new opportunities," Willebrandt said. "The relationships that they build continue to be an annuity for us as people come and go from company to company."

Robert Miller, President of Future Electronics, congratulated the upstate New York team on their 35-year milestone, and thanked everyone for their contributions to the success of the branch.

Son Splits from Fathers Business to Start his Own

San Francisco, CA– August 26, 2020 – Brian Gotelli spent many years working for his father’s plumbing business, during these years he learned the art of boilers and radiant heating.  Mr. Gotelli has made the bold venture of leaving the nest and has done so by taking all that he has learned and starting his own business.  He has distinguished his business by moving beyond the general plumbing services offered by his father’s company, and creating a highly specialized business focusing on boilers and radiant heating.

Gotelli Boilers and Heating serves the Bay Area and San Francisco. Due to their long-standing presence in the plumbing industry, there is a lot of weight that comes with the Gotelli name. Stability and dependability are some of the traits expected when an individual decides to hire a Gotelli.  Mr. Gotelli intends to provide these traits, and much more, to his consumers.  

San Francisco recently changed regulations for adding accessory dwelling units (ADUs) to city properties, making the process more accessible to property owners, leading to an increasing number of properties converting spaces to dwelling units. This has led to an expanding need in the community for boiler services.  Brian Gotelli provides specialized services when it comes to moving or modifying boiler rooms so that the accessory dwelling units can be accommodated. 

Mr. Gotelli is more than just a master of boilers.  He also provides specialized radiant heat and is innovative in the solutions he provides, making radiant heat accessible to everyone. 

Gotelli Boilers and Heating is a full-service company that installs new systems and maintains old ones with the experience that is needed to ensure that the work is done correctly the first time.

Softline has successfully completed the deployment of a new hardware and software complex for a new datacenter at the Progress Rocket and Space Center

MOSCOW, Russia - August 26, 2020 - The Progress Rocket and Space Centre is a leading Russian company dealing with space science, aerospace research and launch vehicle manufacturing, with headquarters in the city of Samara.  The company made a decision to replace its datacenter so it could properly handle the ever-increasing need in computing resources and a surge in information flows. Softline was awarded one of the contracts under this ambitious plan.

Softline engineers were responsible for the design and installation of the infrastructure for the new datacenter, including structured cabling systems, the network infrastructure, monitoring and video surveillance systems, automatic gas removal and fire extinction, ventilation and waterworks. Most of the infrastructure was based on products supplied by Huawei.

“The Softline team found this project challenging and exciting. It was essential to comply with rather strict requirements to the equipment from the client as well as with government regulations.  We have successfully completed the project in just four months, and the client is currently dealing with planned migration to the new sites,” says Semyon Kondrashov, Softline Large Corporate Clients manager in the Volga Federal District.

“The construction of a new datacenter was one of the key projects for Progress last year. We are pleased with the Softline team, whose experts have demonstrated ample expertise and the ability to promptly address any work issues. As a result, we have received a new datacenter with a modern infrastructure. Its computing resources are more than sufficient not only for current projects but also for those planned for the coming 5 to 7 years,” adds Alexander Filatov, head of IT department at Progress.
