Extreme Networks has named Westcon Group EMEA Top Distributor of the Year for high revenue growth across the region. The vendor's Global Partner Conference, staged in the Eden Roc Hotel on Miami beac, was the first public event introducing the 'New Extreme', marking the beginning of its integration with Enterasys.
Westcon has been an Extreme Networks Distributor Partner in EMEA for over a decade. And from 2008, when the resale of Extreme took place in just five EMEA countries, Westcon has grown revenues by over 60%, and is now reselling Extreme Networks portfolio of products across 20 countries via a network of over 120 resellers.
"Westcon has helped partners across EMEA drive sales revenues for Extreme with value added programmes and support as market opportunity for data networking continues to grow; and align closely to Extreme's ethos," commented Roland Richter, Extreme Networks EMEA VP Sales.
David Grant, Senior Vice President Europe, Westcon Convergence, said: "I would like to thank the Westcon Extreme team who work relentlessly to ensure that we are strategically aligned with Extreme. I look forward to another successful year with Extreme Networks, and welcome the opportunities ahead working with the combined organisation."
