GigaFin Networks Introduces New Channel Partner Program
Program Expands Availability of New Network Analysis and Remediation Appliances, Focuses on Partner Profitability and Client Retention
CUPERTINO, CALIF., January 10, 2008 - GigaFin Networks today launched its new VIP channel partner program for resellers of its network analysis and remediation appliances. The program is designed to ensure reseller profitability and success by combining a full range of services and benefits with generous margins and a pure channel go-to-market strategy.
A privately-held company founded in 2002, GigaFin Networks provides cost-effective internal security and traffic management solutions for complex, high-performance environments such as data centers, server farms and campuses. In October, 2007 GigaFin introduced two new network analysis and remediation appliances: the FlowLine 500 and the SlimLine 100. Both products allow IT managers to manage and protect high-performance internal networks with ease, providing traffic monitoring, flow management, firewall and Denial-of-Service prevention in a compact form factor. GigaFin's rapidly-growing customer base in the US and Asia now includes large and small academic campuses, distributed networks and internet service providers.
ACL Computers and Software, a Maryland-based value-added reseller focusing on government, education and commercial clients, has recently added GigaFin appliances to its product line-up. "It's comforting to find a manufacturer like GigaFin that embraces their reseller partners," said Lisa Wilgar, President and Chief Executive Officer of ACL. "Their partner program is easily navigated and their internal sales support is exceptional. GigaFin's new channel program will aid the growth of our sales."
The new GigaFin VIP Program offers two levels of participation, Professional or Premier. The Professional level is targeted at partners with who primarily provide value added services to their customers on a transactional or project basis. The Premier level supports channel partners who offer a longer term commitment to their clients, and have the ability to design and support customized solutions.
Other benefits of GigaFin's partner program include: pre- and post-sales support, lead referrals, discount, NR and beta testing programs, training and certification, and co-marketing resources including market development funds to help partners participate in the growing traffic monitoring and remediation market.
"We understand the vital role of channel partners in bringing innovative solutions to satisfy the changing requirements of their customers," said William Thomas, chief executive officer at GigaFin. "We sell exclusively through the channel, our products are reliable and easy to install, and we already have some great reference sites in prestigious US organizations. Ours is a competitive value solution for resellers, and the program is designed to help our partners take advantage of the emerging network behavior and remediation market."
