jetNEXUS has appointed Bitrate as a distribution partner for the sub-Saharan region.
The partnership with Bitrate will accelerate jetNEXUS’ growth in sub-Saharan Africa, while opening up significant new revenue streams for Bitrate’s resellers through the sale of advanced load balancing technology solutions.
In addition, jetNEXUS, in association with Bitrate, will run a formal, technical accreditation programme to on-board partners and help them better understand the technology and potential sales opportunities it offers. For a limited time only, partners will have access to free technical training, the two companies stated.
“The agreement with Bitrate builds upon the success of our Partner Programme and further increases our reach. Bitrate has a proven track record of offering value to both vendor partners and resellers. Therefore, we are delighted to see them integrating our Accelerating Load Balancer (ALB) technology into their solutions portfolio,” said Jim DeHaven, CEO, jetNEXUS.
“The growth of virtualisation and changing application architectures means there are now significant load balancing requirements right across the SME sector, and together with Bitrate, we aim to help resellers maximise these revenue opportunities with our high-quality load balancing solution defined by ease-of-use, cost-effectiveness and flexibility. What’s more, with Microsoft TMG (Threat Management Gateway) no longer being supported, our technology can replace some of its functionality. It presents a further opportunity for resellers to add value to customer implementations of MS applications, provisioning both load balancing and reverse proxy capabilities, without requiring additional add-ons.”
Jeroen Dubbelman, managing director at Bitrate, states: “jetNEXUS is a very complementary addition to Bitrate’s portfolio of products. It adds to our application aware security and network portfolio and fits perfectly with our data centre infrastructure portfolio. We are fortunate to have landed this agreement with JetNEXUS.”
