California-based mobile security solutions specialist Pulse Secure has announced an addition of over 500 partners across its European partner community within the last twelve months.
Also, for Pulse Secure, which was set up in 2014 from Juniper Networks’ Junos Pulse business, both markets in Russia and China currently offer potential to further grow its partner community, it says.
Additionally, new partnership deals were struck in the UK, US and France during the last couple of months and new partners include an information technology and services specialist Marvel in Russia, Copper River in the US and CBC Com in China. According to the company, at the same time other partners such as Interdata and Nomios in France as well as Network Utilities in the UK have decided to move to the company’s new partner programme NAC Ignite while another 250 partners have joined its Connect Now Partner programme.
The company has also said it is working towards strengthening its channel position and building a supported global community with registered partners with plans to reach around 2,900 in more than 100 countries.
“Across every metric we measure, from deal size to training engagement, our channel partners across the globe are growing and benefiting from our partnership. This reflects the wider shift in the security space as solution providers and end customers look at ways of gaining more value out of their investments,” says Doug Erickson, VP, WW Partner Sales for Pulse Secure.
“As the only vendor with dedicated hardware, software and service to focus solely on the three largest security areas namely access control, SSL VPN, and mobile device security, we have become a foundational technology for a growing number of business use cases. As such, we need a channel that has the expertise to deliver these high value and mission critical core components as part of highly integrated solutions,” adds Sudhakar Ramakrishna, CEO at Pulse Secure. Pulse Secure specialises in secure access and mobility security solutions to both enterprises and service providers.
