StarLink announced this week that its distribution relationship with Dell Software Group has been extended to include SonicWall covering Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Egypt, Jordan and Lebanon.
Dell SonicWall solutions feature high-performance, solid-state firewalls, Next-Generation Firewall and VPN appliances with application intelligence, control and visualisation plus security subscriptions such as anti-virus, intrusion prevention and anti-spyware, for wired and wireless networks.
Shahnawaz Sheikh, Regional Director, Dell SonicWall Middle East and Turkey, said, “With the advent of our carrier-class product category, we felt that it was the right time to partner with a VAD in the region that has an extensive reach into the enterprise, telco and government market segments. The partnership reinforces our objective to expand our product reach in the Middle East.
Avinash Advani, Director of Business Strategy, StarLink, added, “StarLink has traditionally been a niche IT security-focused distributor, but given the constantly developing relationship with Dell Software Group, and their visionary acquisition strategy to become an IT Security powerhouse, it became clear to us that with the acquisition of SonicWALL, they would be able continuously deliver best-of-breed and bleeding-edge next-generation firewall technology.
“As SonicWall evolves under Dell’s umbrella, so will StarLink evolve to look beyond the niche and begin to take on innovative solutions across other areas in the IT Security landscape.”
