SecureData Africa, part of JSE-listed SecureData Holdings, today announced that it has been appointed by BlueCat Networks as its exclusive distribution partner for Africa.
“As businesses grow, so do their networking requirements,” commented Yugan Reddy, Sales Director of SecureData Africa, “and one of the new requirements that arises from the complexities of managing these larger networks is that of managing IP addresses and DNS/DHCP services.”
“BlueCat Networks has established itself as the leading vendor in this specific area, with a significant penetration of the Global Fortune 100 companies,” continued Reddy, “and we are delighted to become their local partner. BlueCat Networks has not had a presence in Africa previously and we look forward to working with them and our resellers across the continent to make a success of this new venture.
“As this is a new niche in the market, bringing BlueCat Networks into our portfolio doesn't compromise any of our existing vendor relationships,” concluded Reddy.
