A10 Networks has announced that the company has entered into a distribution agreement with Ingram Micro in the Middle East.
Ingram Micro is building a new Cyber Security division and promoting the wide range of market-leading security solutions from A10 Networks, including DDoS protection, SSL Insight, data centre firewall, Gi/SGi firewall, Secure Web Gateway, web application firewall (WAF) and DNS Application Firewall.
Henk Jan Spanjaard, Vice President, EMEA Sales, A10 Networks, said, “The Middle East has great business potential for A10 Networks as organisations upgrade and modernise their existing data centres, security and network infrastructure. The distributor agreement with Ingram Micro gives A10 extensive geographical coverage and is a sign of our commitment to the region, which is an important and growing market that has demonstrated high demand for A10 solutions. We continue to make investments in the area and recently added headcount in the Saudi region. Our proven mix of technology, knowledge, experienced workforce and quality partnerships will help us meet customers’ needs for solutions that are secure, responsive, and available.”
According to Ingram Micro, the A10 Thunder SSL Insight (SSLi) capabilities complements its security business. Ali Baghdadi, SVP and Chief Executive, Ingram Micro, Middle East, Turkey and Africa region, said, “A10 Networks has pioneered a new generation of application networking technologies. The company’s solutions deliver a range of security features that decrypt, authenticate and inspect application flows, and then detect and mitigate the growing array of sophisticated cyber security attacks that threaten availability of the largest websites and networks around the world. Reports of the dramatic rise in cybercrime in the Middle East, especially DDoS attacks, which have dominated mainstream media in the past couple of years, have made enterprises in the region aware of the importance of a secure network. Partnering with A10 Networks perfectly positions our resellers to address these concerns by offering regional organisations a host of world-class security solutions.”
