South African-based partnership supports strong international growth in emerging markets for NetQoS

Johannesburg, 04 Aug 2008

As a leader in IT development and technology in the emerging market arena, South African-based IT company MICROmega Technologies (MMT) has been chosen as the channel through which NetQoS will expand its regional presence in Africa, the Middle East and Latin America.

An American-based company, NetQoS provides network performance management software and services that improve application delivery across the world's most complex networks.

More than 900 service providers, government agencies, and large enterprises - including half of the Fortune 100 - use the NetQoS Performance Centre to monitor application service levels, troubleshoot problems quickly, and plan for change.

Recently, NetQoS has expanded its global reseller and system integrator network with new partnerships in Africa, the Middle East, Asia Pacific, Europe, and Latin America. Combined with a dedicated NetQoS international sales team, these partnerships will help NetQoS build and support its growing global client base with products and services that enable large organisations to optimise their networks for application performance.

“The need for advanced network and application performance management technologies is great, especially in emerging markets where complex network demands are sometimes addressed only with fault management tools,” explains Scott Sherwood, vice-president of worldwide sales for NetQoS.

“We have carefully selected strategic partners in both established and emerging markets that will help organisations improve application delivery across their networks with NetQoS products and services.”

In the case of Africa, the Middle East and Latin America, MMT will help NetQoS expand its regional presence through an established network of Cisco Gold Partners and the expertise to deploy and integrate the NetQoS Performance Centre in customer environments.

“The NetQoS product suite is exceptional in its breadth, depth, and ability to scale to the largest global networks,” says Tony Rolston, group CEO of MICROmega Technologies. “MMT is uniquely positioned to convey the value of NetQoS technology and deploy it for customers who need to be on the leading edge of network and application performance management.”

In addition to new partnerships in emerging markets, NetQoS has also expanded its European sales efforts recently with new partnerships in France, Sweden, and the UK. During the first half of 2008, NetQoS increased EMEA revenues 160% year-over-year.
