Infinigate acquires cloud distributor Vuzion

Infinigate Group, a pan-European distributor of cybersecurity solutions, has announced the acquisition of cloud solution provider Vuzion.

The company said the acquisition aims to create a combined cybersecurity and cloud services value-added distributor.

The “secure cloud” value proposition offered by the combined company will enable Infinigate and Vuzion resellers and partners to support the SMB sector on the journey to the cloud.

Vuzion delivers cloud solutions with a focus on marketing and technical abilities. It was the first Microsoft UK provider to cover a full spectrum of offerings across the cloud platform partner ecosystem.

Over the past three years, Vuzion recorded strong organic year-on-year growth of more than 30 per cent each year and has a rapidly expanding customer base.

Michael Frisby, Vuzion’s managing director, will join Infinigate as SVP of cloud services. He will drive Vuzion growth within Infinigate across EMEA.

Klaus Schlichtherle, CEO of Infinigate Group (pictured), explained, “Our acquisition of Vuzion is a strategic move that we’ve taken because cybersecurity and cloud are a natural fit. It enables us to ensure a more comprehensive security posture for the end customers especially in the SMB space.

“Infinigate will be the only VAD where resellers will find the expertise to transition customers to comprehensive secure cloud solutions. In the coming quarter we will be investing in the core Vuzion business in the UK and will develop a joint approach across EMEA to secure the cloud and leverage Vuzion expertise and experience.”

Michael Frisby, managing director of Vuzion, added, “We are excited to join Infinigate’s innovative and dynamic team. Our shared people-focused approach and common values give us a strong foundation.

“Joining forces allows us to provide more expertise and services, which helps our mutual partners accelerate their growth and secure their customers’ journey to the cloud.”
