SecurActive, a European N/APM vendor, and Bitrate, a South African VA distributor, have signed a distribution agreement to deliver network and application performance monitoring to mid-size and large companies and public services in the sub-Saharan region.
SecurActive and Bitrate have closed an agreement to distribute Performance Vision (SecurActive's N/APM solution) in South Africa and all sub-Saharan countries. This agreement offers SecurActive the opportunity to market its solution, Performance Vision, to a new region, and to Bitrate an extended coverage of the APM market from mid-market to large account segments.
Boris Rogier, Managing Director at SecurActive, explains why Bitrate offers a good platform to increase Performance Vision's market: "Bitrate has a unique expertise in the South African market: very few VA distributors have experience in both network analysis and performance management sales and service delivery. Bitrate immediately understood how relevant our solution, Performance Vision, could be to their customers, offering a compelling solution, scalable, capable of performing analysis in virtualised data centres, and above all easy to use and implement. Bitrate very quickly acquired the skills required to deliver high-quality support and consulting to Performance Vision resellers and end-users."
Jeroen Dubbelman, Sales Director at Bitrate, explains why Bitrate made the decision to distribute Performance Vision: "Performance Vision offers many advantages: the features offered by the solution integrate all that is required to diagnose performance degradations and manage network and application performance. It offers a very easy way to drill down through the information and troubleshoot both network and application issues, with no prior configuration, whatever the application is. Performance Vision scales up to very large data centres and has an outstanding coverage of both physical and virtual infrastructure performance. It represents what our customers now expect from N/APM: out-of-the-box solutions, limited integration work, fast ROI through ease of use and a reasonable price. For Bitrate, Performance Vision represents an opportunity for us to extend the use of N/APM solutions to mid-market companies and to accelerate the adoption of N/APM technologies."
This partnership is an opportunity for both companies to support their growth by providing access to new, fast-growing markets for SecurActive and an adequate offering to extend their market coverage for Bitrate.
