International distributor Climb Channel Solutions has acquired DataSolutions in Ireland, to expand its business there and in the UK.
DataSolutions’ partner vendors include Check Point, Citrix, Neustar, HPE Aruba, IGEL and ColorTokens.
“The acquisition of DataSolutions builds upon our goal to strengthen our line card with new strategic, cutting-edge technology vendors, and bolsters our geographic footprint in Western Europe,” said Climb CEO Dale Foster.
“We see an excellent strategic fit between Climb and DataSolutions. We have many similarities in our go-to-market strategy, culture, and in our approach to adapt quickly to ever changing market conditions. The composition of their line card is highly conducive for cross-sell opportunities, which will enable us to build greater depth with our partners, and position Climb as the distributor of choice for resellers,” said Foster.
Further, he said, DataSolutions has established a “robust” recurring revenue base, with more than 90% of its fiscal 2023 revenue coming from existing reseller partners.
DataSolutions managing director Michael O’Hara added: “Since our inception over 30 years ago, we have worked tirelessly to establish and maintain our best-in-market reputation for distribution and services. Climb’s commitment to a focused line card and track record of rigorous brand evaluation aligns with the standard of quality our customers have come to expect.”
