SANTA CLARA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Securematics, Inc. today announced it is a preferred distributor for the entire portfolio of Ruckus Wireless, Inc., including its wide range of indoor and outdoor "Smart Wi-Fi" products. In addition, the company announced that it is the first distributor authorized to sell unified wired and wireless solutions powered by Ruckus Wireless and Juniper Networks technology. The news comes shortly after the highly specialized networking and security distributor was named Juniper Networks’ 2015 Americas Distributor Partner of the Year.
“We are thrilled to be the first U.S. distributor to offer our channel partners Ruckus and Juniper together as a complete solution,” says Brian Vincik, vice president and general manager, Securematics. “The need for simple, secure, wireless-enabled branch and campus networks is growing, especially within midmarket organizations and across verticals such as education, which requires enterprise-grade technology that can be deployed and managed at an affordable price point. Being able to sell and support Ruckus and Juniper together is a value proposition unique to Securematics and our channel partners.”
To accelerate success, Securematics is working with Ruckus and Juniper to offer channel partners a dedicated team of highly specialized marketing, sales and technical experts. Available to channel partners for pre- and post-sales engagements, Securematic’s Ruckus/Juniper solutions professionals understand the business IT needs, challenges and industry regulations tied to deploying wireless networks in branch and campus settings.
“The team at Securematics knows the ins and outs of IT security, networking and wireless, and has developed specialized resources to ensure channel partners have what they need, when they need it to differentiate their services and win business,” says Sandra Cheek, vice president, worldwide partner sales, Ruckus Wireless, Inc. “Developing and deploying simple and secure wireless networks that businesses can rely on is a vision we share with Juniper and our channel partners. Together with Securematics, we will unleash the power of easy-to-deploy, high performance, controller-less networks to our channel partners and endeavor to empower them to give businesses secure connectivity anywhere and everywhere they want it.”
Last year, Ruckus and Juniper Networks, both based in Sunnyvale, Calif., forged a technology alliance to deliver a unified wired and wireless solution, as well as collaborate on global go-to-market opportunities to deliver proven, carrier-class network performance, resiliency and scale to mid-size and large enterprise customers. At the outset, the two leaders announced the integration of Juniper’s best-selling EX Series Ethernet switches with Ruckus' popular ZoneFlex access points and SmartZone™ Wi-Fi management platform.
“The combination of Juniper Networks switches and firewalls and Ruckus Smart Wi-Fi has made it easy and more profitable for channel partners to deliver high performance, reliable network services that scale and support both wired and wireless infrastructure,” says Jon Belcher, vice president of Americas Commercial and Partner Sales at Juniper Networks. “It’s great to see Ruckus tap into the power of distribution and leverage Securematics to build their channel, expand their partner ecosystem and accelerate their success with Juniper partners.”
