Yesterday we announced a new alliance with Untangle.
As many of you may know, Untangle is an emerging channel vendor with a strong value proposition for MSPs when it comes to managed network security. They also have a solid partner program which never hurts to build channel loyalty.
We pursued this alliance with Untangle for a number of reasons including the simple fact that network security remains a sweet spot for the VAR community and is a "must-have" technology for SMBs.
Our alliance with Untangle not only simplifies integration, but it enables our partners to extend their services capabilities beyond the basics. Check out this coverage in Channel Insider: http://www.channelinsider.com/c/a/News/Managed-Services-the-Open-Source-Way/
To date, we’ve hosted a number of joint webinars with Untangle to educate partners on the market opportunity & discuss how these two technologies work together. The game plan is to really build upon these joint marketing efforts and turn up the volume on the value of managed network security.
