Linux Warehouse adds NetFort to its portfolio


Johannesburg, 30 Nov 2012

Linux Warehouse, the premier distributor of enterprise open source software for sub-Saharan Africa, today announced it has added the product sets of NetFort to its portfolio.

"NetFort addresses the business need to monitor what users are doing across their networks," commented Jan-Jan van der Vyver, Managing Director of Linux Warehouse, "and complements our existing data centre stack.

"NetFort's LANGaurdian is focused on network troubleshooting and forensics, using passive network traffic analysis," continued Van der Vyver, "and since no agent installation is required, it is ideal to oversee the impact of the bring your own device (BYOD) explosion.

"We are the distributor for many exciting products that will allow organisations to better utilise the resources they already have in place, as well as offer financially-attractive and resource-efficient solutions to some of the future requirements they have already identified," said Van der Vyver. "Thus, the opportunities going forward, particularly with some of the newer products we now have available, are an exciting prospect."

"Building a strong channel partner network is a critically important part of our strategy for growth," said John Brosnan, NetFort CEO. "Linux Warehouse is a leading distributor in the region, and we are confident that their reputation and expertise will help us extend our customer base in South Africa and neighbouring countries."
