AVG ups channel team

Security specialist distributor AVG has expanded its channel team in response to rapid growth in resellers, says ARN.

The distributor has recruited Michael Chapman as a reseller account manager, promoted Tim Dawson to a newly created role as business innovation manager, and promoted James Caldwell to Dawson's previous role as channel manager.

AVG marketing manager Lloyd Borrett said the changes were in response to a growing push into the SME sector.

ACA distributes Fujitsu

Fujitsu Asia has chosen ACA Pacific Technology as its official distributor for all server and storage product lines in Singapore, reports HardwareZone.

With the appointment, ACA Pacific will tap on its reseller network to distribute Fujitsu Asia's servers and storage devices in Singapore. ACA Pacific will also provide its resellers with skills training, sales support and marketing expertise for Fujitsu Asia's server and storage portfolio.

The partnership allows Fujitsu Asia to leverage ACA Pacific's reseller network, as well as its expertise in generating channel sales, to drive revenue growth in Singapore.

Colubris gets specific

Colubris Networks is the latest wireless networking vendor to launch a wireless-specific channel programme to get resellers on board with new offerings that can be an inroad to new and existing customers looking to build out their wireless networks, says ChannelWeb.

Other vendors, like Motorola and Extricom, have also recently launched wireless-centric programmes.

The Colubris Advanced Partner Program offers partners new market opportunities and tools to drive revenue with Colubris' wireless products and services, said Tom Racca, Colubris VP of marketing.
