This signing shows Wick Hill’s determination to continue to bring high growth opportunities to the channel and open up new markets for channel partners. The VAD is planning for 100% growth with the A10 product range and is looking for new partners to participate in that growth.
Ian Kilpatrick, chairman Wick Hill Group, commented: “A10 offers award-winning technology and was named as the second fastest growing private company in Silicon Valley in 2011, which was the third year in a row it had won a fastest growing company award. We expect this level of growth to continue because the company has great core technology which helps applications work faster and more efficiently.”
“With cloud application delivery, server load balancing, and virtualisation on network managers’ agendas, A10 Networks is extremely well placed to benefit from this, by providing high performance solutions, coupled with security.”
“Another major growth area for the channel,” said Kilpatrick, “is IPv4 to IPv6 integration and migration. The address pool for IPv4 was exhausted last year and major Internet service providers, (ISPs), manufacturers and web companies around the world are coming together to enable IPv6 for their products and services by World IPv6 Day on 6th June. So IPv6 integration provides a huge channel opportunity.
“A10 provides solutions which enable organisations to manage IPv6, without the infrastructure cost of migration. This is crucial when trying to minimise the expense of introducing IPv6”
Mark Edge, director sales EMEA, A10 Networks, said: “We look forward to a successful partnership with Wick Hill and market penetration. Wick Hill’s know-how, technical capabilities and strong channel presence in the region will allow us to accelerate our business expansion.”
