"We are excited and optimistic about the opportunities available through our newest partner, Bluestar,” said Cypress President Paul Ahern. “They offer a unique 'Solutions' model, global footprint and value-add approach to distribution which perfectly matches Cypress' proven portfolio of solutions and custom design capabilities.”

Cypress Computer Systems is another of many new manufacturer partners Bluestar has added to the lineup for its Security Solutions division, which rolled out in early 2012. “BlueStar is thrilled to be partnering with Cypress Computer Systems,” said Bluestar’s Vice President of Security Solutions Jeff Brummett. “We think Cypress’ security, access control and data solutions are a complimentary fit to our existing security lines. We look forward to a strong partnership.”

Bluestar Security Solutions is designed to meet the needs of the growing security industry, including advanced access control, identification, intrusion surveillance, and time/attendance technology. The partnership with Cypress Computer Systems will continue to expand Bluestar’s product line and aid value-added resellers in providing more complete solutions to the demanding security market.

“Bluestar offers so much more than just distribution,” continued Ahern. “Their Fusion programme for business development is unique in our industry and a critical service for Value-Added Resellers, and they’re expanding their state-of-the-art configuration services to meet the resellers’ demand. Cypress appreciates the ease with which we grow our VAR base with Bluestar.”
