Networking:
Radware And Allasso Partner For
Switching Solutions
Radware a leading provider of intelligent Application Switching (IAS),
ensuring availability, performance and the security of networked applications
across the enterprise, announced that it has reached an agreement for a pan-
European distribution partnership with Allasso, Europe's leading specialist
network security distributor with offices in the UK, Germany, Italy, Spain,
Benelux and France. The deal enables Allasso to offer higher performance
value-added solutions to its customers with a range of application switching
solutions, including high availability, optimized performance, scalability and
connectivity.
The agreement builds on Allasso's existing successful relationship with
Radware in southern Europe. Allasso undertook an extensive market evaluation
to select the application switching vendor that would offer the greatest
benefit to its customers, with advanced security capabilities in the product
set a key factor. Radware emerged as the best partner choice, with innovative
technology that offers security, reliability and performance for all layer 4
to 7 IP application needs, including intrusion prevention and Denial of
Service protection.
The alliance will see Allasso distributing Radware's extensive product
range
across its pan-European network of resellers and system integrators. It also
leverages the marketing and selling capabilities of Allasso's Value Added
Resellers (VARs) and System Integrators (SIs). This gives Radware access to a
larger number of VARs and SIs, which are already fully trained and experienced
in IT security services. Radware and Allasso will also be offering full post-
sales technical support through the multi-lingual Allasso European Support
Center.
"The partnership with Radware allows us to offer better -- and more secure
--
application reliability, availability and performance to our customers," said
Clive McCafferty, European business development and marketing director,
Allasso. "There is a huge reliance on Internet access these days, creating an
increasing need for higher levels of application availability and better
response times. The load balancing, traffic management and security features
of Radware's products fit the gap in our portfolio and make them the ideal
partner."
"Allasso has built itself a reputation as a true security specialist," said
Alexandre Bertuzzi, Vice President of EMEA, Radware. "Our product portfolio
offers real performance and security benefits to companies, and this
partnership gives us a good route to our key market. It was important to
collaborate with the right company and Allasso has proved itself to be exactly
that."
