Wedge Networks Launches Reseller Channel Program for U.S. Market

SANTA CLARA, Calif., Nov. 13, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Wedge Networks, the leader in unified, real-time content security and intelligence for high-performance networks, today announced it has launched its Reseller Channel Program for the U.S. The Wedge Networks Reseller Channel Program will generate new revenue opportunities for channel partners that are selling into the corporate enterprise, government organization and service provider markets.

To support this vision, Wedge Networks is taking an aggressive approach by offering a 45-day trial with fast technology validation to its channel partners. This unique offering, called the "Instant-On Program," provides resellers and end-user customers with access to the entire Wedge security suite, including data loss prevention, anti-virus, spam, malware and content filtering.  When run as a WedgeOS VMware virtual appliance, the solution provides either a perimeter security gateway or security from the Cloud as a Wedge StarGate Server.

The WedgeOS platform and its various Deep Content Inspection components are complementary to existing firewall and application-accelerating hardware already being sold by the reseller community. It is a true enterprise software solution for Internet security that requires no special hardware. By installing VMware and loading the WedgeOS platform, along with desired security components onto an open server, end-user customers reduce IT spending by consolidating servers while taking advantage of the desired security components.

By providing customers with instant access to the full security suite, resellers will alleviate many of the challenges they face when selling firewalls, UTM or other hardware appliances through an evaluation process. Additionally, resellers and end-user customers are able to utilize this advanced suite of network security tools to not only evaluate the product suite, but also identify vulnerabilities within their existing environment.
