Data protection solution provider Quest, has appointed value added distributor DataGroupIT as its distributor for Sub-Saharan Africa.

DataGroupIT will distribute Quest Software's solutions as well as Quest-owned One Identity solutions, including Microsoft platform management, data protection, backup and migration, and database management.

More than 130 000 companies and 95% of the Fortune 500 use Quest's data protection, database and systems management solutions. 

According to Quest, it needed a distributor with local teams in Africa, including sales, pre-sales, and channel teams. Any partner had to have the capacity to maintain a 200+ partner network which spans Sub-Sahara Africa, and have direct relationships with partners and end customers.

The new distribution agreement aims to strengthen Quest’s delivery model and grow its footprint across the continent, leveraging DataGroupIT’s network and 15 years’ experience in distribution in Sub-Saharan Africa, says Andrew Voges, Africa director at Quest. 

Amir Shtarkman, VP: Business Development and Products at DataGroupIT, says the partnership is mutually beneficial and will bring customers simplicity when it comes to their cyber initiatives. In addition, Quest’s hybrid solutions, which can combine on-premises and cloud, will give customers flexibility of choice, based on their cloud readiness and the quality of country infrastructure.
