Tech Data this week opened a new 25,000 square foot integration center at its logistics facility in Fontana, Calif. The Clearwater, Fla.-based distributor already has a similar center in Swedesboro, N.M., and several other logistics centers across the country.

Other services include configuration support for all hardware and networking products handled by Tech Data Corp.; software imaging; change management; customer WAN connectivity; and project management for long deployments.
