Westcon ME, a leading value-added distributor of security, convergence, identification and infrastructure products and solutions for global technology vendors, has signed an agreement with UK-based Clearswift for the distribution of data, email and web security solutions.

Having previously supported the region from UK, Clearswift now plans to increase its Middle Eastern presence through the opening of an office in Dubai Internet City and the appointment of Westcon as the sole distributor for the region covering U.A.E., Saudi Arabia, Oman, Bahrain, Qatar, Kuwait, Jordan, Lebanon, Egypt & Libya.

Having offices in the UK, USA, Japan, Spain, Germany and now Dubai, Clearswift is an information security company providing content-aware, policy-based solutions to over 17,000 organizations to manage and maintain no-compromise data, e-mail and web security.

Through the distributorship, Westcon ME will now offer the full range of Clearswift products, though the initial area of focus will be the Clearswift Web and Email Appliances. With active customers already present in the region, Westcon ME will also be responsible to handle the existing client and partner base, while offering existing program benefits like deal registration, increased margins and the recently launched Clearswift Catalyst Program to the channel.

"Clearswift is committed to developing a successful two tier distribution model globally, and the appointment of Westcon ME is further evidence of this strategy. As the synergy between business needs and solution requirements develop, Clearswift is uniquely positioned to deliver real benefits to its customers while at the same time offering resellers greater revenue, profit and service opportunities," said Miles Rippon, Vice President, Worldwide Channels.

'Westcon is an established value added distributor of security, convergence, infrastructure, mobility and identification products. Westcon aligns its growth initiatives with its partners to take full advantage of the region's business potential and leverage the aggressive ICT adoption by end users to drive growth in the region. It is for this reason that we have appointed Westcon to represent Clearswift in the ME region,' added Mr. Rippon.

"Through our Clearswift product offering we effectively address channel concerns with Data Loss, Email Security & Web security, in a cost effective manner at the same time enabling collaboration to drive business growth, reduce costs through vendor consolidation & virtualization. The single policy framework helps reduce and mitigate risks too," commented Venu Menon, Sales Director, Westcon ME.
