With the advance of data center consolidation, accelerated by the deployment of virtualization and cloud computing, organizations continue to look for new ways to ensure their company data is protected. As such, resellers are being tasked with providing clients with WAN optimization solutions specifically designed for virtualized environments. This new offering from COMPUTERLINKS will allow resellers the opportunity to provide optimized migration of data to off-site locations with speeds of 10x to 16x.
NetEx's award-winning HyperIP is a software-only, virtualization-ready WAN optimization solution, ideal for moving large data sets across WANs securely, swiftly and seamlessly, particularly between data-centers. By bringing in this technology from NetEx, COMPUTERLINKS will be able to offer its resellers a fast and reliable WAN optimization solution.
David Ellis, director of new technologies and services at COMPUTERLINKS, commented, "We're delighted to be bringing the NetEx HyperIP market-leading technology to the channel, and in doing so help them to grow their markets in the UK and Europe."
The announcement follows COMPUTERLINKS' recent remodeling of its business to deliver margin-rich channel services around new and emerging technologies such as virtualization, cloud computing and IP-based physical security. The addition of NetEx to the distributor's virtualization portfolio means resellers can now be better equipped, and have access to specialist expertise and additional resources when recommending virtualization solutions.
