According to Sektor Australia’s general manager Cameron Arnold, Armis is a strong addition to the company’s portfolio.

"VMware is broadening its portfolio as technology needs have changed. These new areas are perhaps VMware's best kept secret," says Adam Saunders.

"We are delighted to honour these exceptional partners, who have weathered a very challenging year yet still delivered service excellence to customers."

The premier multi-cloud event is just around the corner. VMworld is back for 2021, and this year it’s online once again.

The range includes the traditional desktop, mobile and kiosk form factors but also now full Point of Sale terminals with integrated PCI Payment capability.

"You asked and we listened. This latest offering is integral to cutting down on the time and money our partners spend on tedious channel revenue management processes."

“The new model was a significant step towards enabling channel autonomy and that both distributors will service the Australian and New Zealand markets."

Ingram Micro sees strong potential in Sophos products such as Extended Data Detection and Response (XDR).

Vertiv and Ingram Micro work closely together in New Zealand, as well as in the United States, Europe, China, India and Latin America, and the Australian relationship is a natural extension of that partnership.

The deal will propel Dicker Data NZ to become the second largest IT distributor in the country, with estimated revenue of more than $500m for the combined entities.

"We have a strong focus on growing markets outside of Australia, and New Zealand is the first piece of this important growth puzzle for us."

“As Sektor continues to grow, this partnership will help our business scale quickly as we look to expand in the greater Asia-Pacific market.”

The company unveiled the channel programme as part of its multi-million dollar investment in partner enablement.

"By identifying all security threats before they become incidents, organisations can take a more proactive security posture."

One of the most critical points for distributors to consider is that all warehouse activities have a direct impact on their relationship with customers.
