Endpoint data protection innovator Safend will now have its products distributed throughout North America by distributor Computerlinks.
The terms of the distribution agreement also makes Computerlinks a new support partner for the data protection company. The distributor will offer VAR partners not only Safend’s suite of security solutions, but also a channel support alternative.
The distribution agreement covers Safend’s entire Data Protection Suite of products, including Safend Auditor, Safend Encryptor, Safend Protector, Safend Inspector, Safend Discoverer, and the recently-released Safend Protector for Mac.
“The proliferation of mobile devices in SMBs is causing significant shifts in the way IT manages endpoints,” said Russell Zientek, chief executive officer of Computerlinks North America. “As a value-added distributor, we want to make sure that our partners can offer their customers the most effective, comprehensive endpoint security solutions available. We looked at the leading security products on the market and found that Safend offers a superior overall solution for our VARs and solution providers.”
For its own part, Safend says Computerlinks is a “highly respected player” in the channel. “Not only will Computerlinks greatly expand our reach in the channel and provide comprehensive marketing and technical support to our reseller partners,” says Clay Rogers, vice president of channel sales at Safend, “but Safend’s products fill Computerlinks’ need for an endpoint and DLP offering and helps ensure greater protection for enterprises.
