Ingram Micro Cloud’s channel partners – including VARs, systems integrators and born-in-the-cloud resellers – can now purchase, configure and manage SEPC via its single, automated platform, Cloud Marketplace, enabling them to maximise the opportunities available to configure, provision and manage enterprise-level security technology in the cloud, for small to medium business (SMB) customers.
The company has pledged to make several investments into cybersecurity innovation in the coming months, including plans to expand its wrap-around services for channel partners, and the launch of an Ingram Micro Cloud security business unit later in the year.
Apay Obang-Oyway, Director, Cloud Northern Europe at Ingram Micro Cloud, stated: “Alongside infrastructure and services, security is one of three strategic pillars for the Ingram Micro Ecosystem of Cloud over the next 12 to 18 months, which were identified in alignment with core areas of forecasted growth in the channel. According to the Cloud Industry Forum, the user base for cloud security is set to grow by almost half, with 36 per cent currently deploying a cloud-based security solution and a further 17 per cent expecting to do so in the future.
Ingram Micro Launch New Reseller Rewards Platform
“As the threat of cyber-attacks grows, data security is already at the top of end users’ agendas and already reaching the board room as a matter of concern. Customers are going to be looking at their technology providers for protection, prevention, detection, mitigation and total expertise to ensure that systems stay safe from breaches. Now’s the time for resellers to maximise the opportunities available to provision world-class security."
“Our commitment to innovating in cyber security is designed to help our partners meet that growing demand for leading protection both in the cloud and on-premises, as well as add value to existing end user deployments by leveraging the Cloud Marketplace platform."
