Cloud Distribution and Avi Networks announce their UK partnership
Offering partners an intent-based, software-defined ADC (application delivery controller) to drive differentiation into Cloud First focused organisations & Enterprises
Reading, UK – 27th June 2018 – The “Cloud First” Next-generation value added distributor (VAD) Cloud Distribution, Specialists in Cyber Security, Networking and Data Centre Solutions, has today announced the signing of Avi Networks – the leader in intent-based application services that automate intelligence and elasticity across any cloud. The signing will allow Avi Networks to fulfil the rapidly increasing demand for software defined, Cloud-based networking.
The legacy ADC appliance vendors have failed to keep up with the way in which the Cloud market is evolving which creates a huge opportunity for resellers to partner with Avi Networks and present a new solution to customers using those legacy technologies. Resellers are now able to differentiate themselves from the traditional ADC tin shifters and enable customers to migrate their ADC’s to reside in the Cloud.
Avi Networks is redefining the application delivery controller (ADC) market with its intent-based platform. The Avi Vantage Platform delivers automated application services with a Software Load Balancer, an Intelligent Web Application Firewall, and an Elastic Service Mesh for container-based applications. As businesses shift their operations to clouds such as Azure and AWS, Avi’s intent-based software offers easier management, faster performance, greater elasticity, deeper analytics, and more powerful automation than legacy ADC vendors.
“With enterprises increasingly migrating to the Cloud and removing the physical ADC, we sought to partner with a distributor that not only understood our goals, but also embraced the way in which the market is moving. With Cloud Distribution being a dedicated ‘Cloud First’ distributor, we felt this was the perfect partnership to help facilitate reseller partners driving Cloud First conversations,” said David Moss, Avi Networks Western Europe Regional Director.
Adam Davison, Sales Director for Cloud Distribution commented: “We are proud to help Avi Networks deliver Cloud like simplicity within application delivery and we look forward to helping them seize the market opportunity. With so many organisations now becoming solely Cloud based, Avi Networks are able to help our resellers meet the demands of modern datacentres and we are delighted to be able
to include them in our solution stack and help our partners seize the very real opportunity to upscale their customers using legacy technologies.”
Cloud Distribution are taking this technology to the UK market and supporting reseller partners with marketing and sales initiatives through the Cloud Altitude Program. Through Cloud, partners have access to dedicated AVI sales specialists with a wealth of experience in ADC technology, and utilise support with Professional Services from POC through to full installation.
