F5 today announced that Mideast Communication Systems (MCS) will operate as its new value-added distributor in Egypt. Now, as part of F5’s Unity+ Partner Program, which has been specifically designed to address the evolution of the market, F5, and partner business models. Significantly, the onboarding of MCS markedly enhances F5’s ability to deliver its services and solutions across Egypt, which is one of its most strategically important regional markets.

Together, we have the potential to transform the application landscape through the delivery of integrated solutions. We are also extremely well-positioned to help Egypt meet its wider ICT transformation targets through our work across all sectors.”

Its strong in-country presence and extensive channel network in Egypt will enable the sale, deployment and support of F5’s entire service portfolio, with a strong focus on multi-cloud and modern application-related services.
