Westcon partners Aruba Networks

Leading value added distributors, Westcon Group Middle East announced today that it has been appointed as the authorized distributors for Aruba Networks and claims this new move is to reinforce Westcon’s security solutions portfolio, with the addition of Aruba’s range of access management, network infrastructure and mobility application solutions.

“Westcon have built a strong security portfolio over the years. However with the changing environment of the mobile workspace, there was a gap, and that was providing that secure mobile access. By partnering with Aruba, we think we’ve significantly bridged the gap and by partnering with the eco-system vendors as well, we have some great solutions now. There is more opportunity for the resellers to now sell to the new mobile environments with very secure and integrated offerings, right down to the mobile devices. I strongly believe Aruba is going to be a significant opportunity for our resellers in the region.” said Steve Lockie, Group Managing Director at Westcon.

Westcon offers a wide range of best-in-class products, services and solutions from some of the world’s leading network solution vendors and has over the years built a formidable portfolio of products that are fully interoperable and complement each other.

“Aruba has some strong products lined up for release in the near future. While the demand for mobile devices and tablets is rising, we are still at the beginning of the growth trajectory, and I believe there is massive opportunity for us in this sector,” said Osama Alhaj-Issa‎, Channel Director, Middle East and Turkey at Aruba.  “Westcon has moved at the right time to bridge this gap, and with this partnership there is a big role we will play together and serve the mobility market.
