Centram Inc, Berkeley, California Sun Microsystems-owned developer of the TOPS network has signed a distribution agreement with microcomputer distributor Micro D Inc for Micro D to distribute the TOPS products in the US, the first time that Centram has contracted with an outside company for second-tier resale services. It has done so with the aim of increasing product availability, customer support services and to expand its base of TOPS resellers. Centram will continue to sell directly to dealers, but will also encourage dealers to take advantage of Micro D’s established distribution system. Micro D claims that it will be able to provide dealers with a broad range of services, including large inventories and quick turnaround time.
