The company has grown significantly since its inception. Developing international partnerships with Dell, Intel, Juniper and more recently, Nvidia, one of the world’s leaders in artificial intelligence technology.

They have also recently launched their own direct channel program, called Gbics Connect, this allows IT resellers and service providers to purchase directly from them. This removes any need for third party distribution companies, as deal registration, pre-sales support and all logistics services are handled in-house.
