Enterasys Networks, Inc., a global provider of Business- Driven NetworksTM for enterprise customers, today announced that it has signed an agreement with Comstor, a channel provider of networking technology products and a division of Westcon Group, Inc. The partnership builds upon Enterasys` existing distribution agreement with Westcon Group and enables Comstor to offer Enterasys` full line of enterprise security and networking products to value-added resellers (VARs) focusing on government agencies and other markets.
Enterasys has also joined Comstor`s General Services Administration (GSA) dealer program, enabling qualified government resellers to sell Enterasys products through Comstor`s GSA schedule. As a result, Comstor has added Enterasys` leading-edge security and networking infrastructure products to its government-oriented portfolio.
"Westcon is a strategic go-to-market partner for Enterasys, and we are pleased to announce that this relationship has expanded to their Comstor division," said Mark Aslett, president of Enterasys Networks. "Our partnership with Comstor enhances our ability to deliver Secure Networks that meet customers` requirements, and Enterasys` products complement Comstor`s comprehensive portfolio for government VARs."
With a focus on Secure Networks, Comstor will develop specific solution programs for government value-added resellers (VARs) based on the Enterasys Security Router (XSR Series) and Enterasys` Dragon IDS products. In addition, Comstor also offers Enterasys` multilayer switches, core routers, wireless LAN and network management products.
