Awards presented at Riverbed Partner Connect event 2016.

Networks Unlimited, a value-adding distributor of converged technology, data centre, networking, and security technology throughout Africa, has announced that it has won the Riverbed Technology Distributor of the Year 2015 Award for South Africa.

We have built an admirable customer base in the country and this award further highlights our emphasis on continuous investment in product expertise and customer satisfaction," says Anton Jacobsz, managing director at Networks Unlimited.

"With this award, we recognise Networks Unlimited's performance and achievements as a Riverbed distributor during the past year in South Africa, and look forward to continuing to work together to help our joint customers improve application, network and business performance," said Hanli Wood, Channel Sales Manager, South Africa, at Riverbed. "In the coming year, Riverbed will be driving greater focus and investment in our most committed and knowledgeable partners. The IT industry is going through one of the biggest transitions in a decade, and Riverbed is working closely with our partners to deliver game-changing solutions, including new software-defined technologies, that enable digital enterprises to reach their full potential."
