With bandwidth on the African continent booming, and the accompanying demands being placed on companies and their branch offices to remain connected, there's never been a better time for resellers to explore the benefits of using the bandwidth optimisation solutions from Riverbed.
“With a highly-skilled and well-resourced team of Riverbed experts, Tarsus Technologies is the distribution partner resellers should be working with when it comes to bandwidth optimisation solutions,” says Pieter Engelbrecht, Riverbed product manager at Tarsus Technologies.
Engelbrecht says that his team of engineers has been extensively trained in all aspects of the Riverbed product line and that Tarsus is happy to assist resellers with everything from assessing their customers' needs, through to sourcing the bandwidth optimisation appliances and even rolling them out across those customers' wide area networks.
“Increasingly, we see ourselves working more closely with our partners in selling and delivering technology solutions, instead of simply focusing on stocking, logistics, returns/repairs and pricing like so many of our peers are doing,” Engelbrecht says.
“This, we believe, is a vital differentiator and something that will ensure Tarsus' success as well as that of our partners in the coming years,” he concludes.
