Stonesoft and Magirus have further extended their distribution agreement to cover the whole Europe. After initially covering Germany, Austria, Switzerland and Italy, the agreement has now been extended to include Great Britain, Denmark, Sweden, the Netherlands, France, Spain, Portugal and the Middle East. Through the cooperation with Magirus, Stonesoft further strengthens its market position and support services for its partners and customers.
Alongside its security partners, Magirus is also addressing the StoneGate products specifically at its business partners in the virtualisation environment. Within the integrated virtualisation approach represented by Magirus, the StoneGate solutions provide an important link between virtualisation and security. The StoneGate security solution for VMware environments, comprising of the StoneGate Firewall and IPS (Intrusion Prevention System) appliance, allows the realisation of secure, high-availability networks both in virtual and physical environments.
The start of the sales activities across Europe will be accompanied by comprehensive marketing measures by the VAD. In addition, business partners can access a virtual Demo Centre run by the distributor into which the StoneGate solutions have been integrated. Furthermore, Magirus is planning special trainings and workshops on the subject of “virtualised secure networking” as well as a series of supporting marketing measures for specialist trade partners.
