Distribution Central Partners with Xirrus to Deliver High-Performance Wireless Networks
SINGAPORE, March 12, 2012 /PRNewswire-Asia/ -- Xirrus(R), the leader in high performance wireless networks, today announced it has appointed Distribution Central(R) Pty Limited, a leader in technology distribution and channel services, to distribute high-performance Wi-Fi products across the Asia-Pacific region.
Distribution Central has distributed Xirrus in Australia since mid-2011, expanding the Xirrus channel through its comprehensive end-to-end channel services. This extension to the current partnership will offer resellers and integrators in the Asia-Pacific region access to the best-of-breed wireless LAN products to service the explosion in wireless devices entering the workplace. BYOD has stressed conventional network to the point of failure. The Xirrus solution provides the needed coverage, bandwidth, and device density, making it possible of organizations to rely on wireless as their primary access to the network.
"With the mass adoption of smart computing devices, like the Apple iPad, organizations need a Wi-Fi platform that can grow with their wireless needs without breaking their budgets or causing undue stress on their IT resources," said Sean Larner, VP of international sales at Xirrus, "We are extremely pleased with the tremendous expansion Distribution Central has achieved across Australia and look forward to working together as we enable customers across Asia-Pacific to go wireless."
"The Xirrus Wireless Array platform is a powerful, forward-thinking Wi-Fi architecture capable of servicing many times more users with far less equipment and cost than conventional offerings. The fact that Xirrus provides the only modular wireless switch in the industry, capable of delivering the coverage, bandwidth, capacity, and distributed intelligence needed for wired-like performance, is hugely compelling and in line with Distribution Central's commitment to adopting market leading and innovative technology," said Nick Verykios, Managing Director at Distribution Central.
Distribution Central will distribute Xirrus' product suite supported by its own end-to-end channel support services including pre-sales technical support, post-sales field support, online partner portal, renewal and asset management, training and education programs and channel marketing programs. Distribution Central has built a custom-built online configuration tool specifically for the Xirrus product range, ensuring every quote is accurate and preventing the user from making errors in the system build. Red Education(TM), a business unit of Distribution Central, is also the Authorised Training Centre for Xirrus across the Asia-Pacific region.
