The Palo Alto Networks portfolio has already gained traction in Ireland and this agreement now offers real choice and local expertise to their growing customer base.”
Commenting on the appointment, Mike Langley, Regional Vice President, Western Europe and South Africa, at Palo Alto Networks, said:
“As we continue to grow our business in Ireland, it is important to have locally dedicated channel partners. Our priority is to work with partners willing to invest in our next-generation technology and add real value for customers. We are pleased to welcome Agile Networks as our first Gold partner in Ireland and look forward to achieving mutual success”.
“One of the big attractions to us is not just Palo Alto Networks great technology but also their strategic partnerships with other vendors with whom we partner. We are very keen to develop a deeper, best-of-breed approach which also will incorporate next generation security features from Palo Alto Networks,” concluded Richardson.
