Utopia wins Array Networks UK distribution deal

Array Networks has signed a UK distribution agreement with Manchester-based Utopia Technology for its application delivery networking products.

Utopia will offer US-based Array’s physical and virtual load balancing and SSL VPN appliances, as well as Array’s line of virtualised application delivery appliances.

Rich Siegel, vice president of sales and business development at Array Networks, said: “This alliance is an important strategic addition to our European channel partner infrastructure, that will allow us to accelerate enterprise and service provider adoption and enable current and future VAR partners to maximise their business opportunities.”

Array Networks’ application delivery solutions ensure the availability, performance and security of applications and web services running in enterprise data centres, as well as private and public clouds.

Integration with VMware, Microsoft and OpenStack orchestration gives customers the ability to automate application management in cloud and virtual environments.

“Customers and IT solution providers are looking for choices and flexibility as they embrace the cloud, reap the benefits of mobility and experience rapid data growth in their environments,” said Steve McKeever, managing director of Utopia Technology.

“Our new relationship with Array Networks expands our solution portfolio, delivering greater value to our channel partners and empowers them to meet the networking and security demands of today’s applications and cloud services.”
